ngineering plastics for
automotive electrics
Innovation in automotive design is driven by electrical,
electronic and mechatronic systems. New driver assistance systems, interconnected mobility and electromobility will accelerate this development even further.
Engineering plastics often enable innovative solutions
which make electronic systems indispensable when it
comes to safety, comfort and energy efficiency in modern vehicle concepts. From a simple fuse to state-ofthe-art power electronics there is hardly an application
that does not rely on plastics. In fact, through high-performance thermoplastics these applications have often
become reliable and economically feasible.

3.1 Ultramid
BASFs Ultramid grades are molding compounds based
on PA6, PA66, various co-polyamides such as PA66/6
and partially aromatic polyamide. Its outstanding mechanical strength and toughness, proven resistance to
different media, its electrical insulating properties and
excellent processability make Ultramid a material that
has become firmly established in almost all areas of
automotive electrics and electronics.
Ultramid allows extremely robust designs required in automotive engineering for wire-to-wire and wire-to-board connectors. Its excellent
toughness and resistance to vibrations ensure reliable operation, even
under adverse environmental conditions. This also enables robust
handling in assembly and maintenance work. The good processability
helps to produce complex connectors, latching and locking systems
as well as to manufacture them economically in multi-cavity molds.
Metal parts, contact pins or cables can be tightly overmolded directly
in the mold. Thanks to the excellent toughness and weld line strength,
metal contacts can also be pressed into the plastic body and crimp
contacts can be clipped in. Elastic seals based on silicone or TPE 7
can be overmolded with good adhesion using multi-component injection molding. The possibility to use snap-fits or film hinges also expands design options for the designer.

Plug-in connectors
elastomers
For electric fans, fan shrouds and fan control units, products such as
Ultramid B3WG5, B3WG6 or A3WG6 are a popular choice because
they are very well able to cope with the tough operating conditions in
the engine compartment. Even large and complex fans are feasible. The
many different design options help designers to optimize efficiency and
noise emissions. Glass- or mineral-filled products such as Ultramid
B3WGM24 or Ultramid B3WGM45 are used mainly for shrouds and
enclosures.

Ultramid T
In comparison to other polyamides, the partially aromatic Ultramid T
(PA6/6T) offers a very good level of toughness and a high level of
dimensional stability under heat. It also shows mechanical properties
which remain mainly constant both in the dry and wet states. This favorable property range is complemented by good chemical resistance and
dimensional stability. Ultramid T is suitable, for example, for connectors
or sensor components which come into direct contact with corrosive
fuels such as bio-fuels.
In addition, Ultramid T shows good resistance to calcium chloride (CaCl2).
It thus meets the more stringent requirements regarding the resistance
to salt spray in regions such as the USA, Russia or Japan, where road
salts containing calcium are mainly being used.
With a melting point of 295C, Ultramid T is also ideal for use in SMD8
components and lead-free soldering technologies. Details on this can
be found in Section 4.4. The material is ideally suited for injection-molded circuit carriers, a subject which is explored in detail in Section 4.3.

Ultramid Balance
Ultramid Balance is a material family based on PA6.10 with an interesting property profile. It shows high resistance to fuels, hydrolytic
media and salt solutions such as calcium chloride or zinc chloride. It
is therefore an interesting alternative to other long-chain high-performance polyamides such as PA6.12 or PA12. Thanks to its lower water
absorption, Ultramid Balance is more dimensionally stable than PA6
or PA66. Its mechanical properties are less susceptible to environmental conditions or moisture content. Compared to PA12, it is more solid
and rigid. It also shows better dimensional stability under heat.

Ultramid Endure
Ultramid Endure is a new glass fiber-reinforced polyamide with outstanding heat aging resistance. It effortlessly withstands constant loading for
over 3,000 hours at 220C and brief temperature peaks of up to 240C.
It is thus suitable for housings or sensor applications in charged air and
intercooler systems, exhaust gas recirculation or other temperaturecritical installation locations.

3.2 Ultradur
Because of its special combination of properties, Ultradur,
the polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) from BASF, is
an ideal material for many applications in automotive electrics and electronics. As a result, it has long
been established in all areas of automotive electronics
systems. In addition to high rigidity and excellent heat
resistance, it shows outstanding dimensional stability,
good resistance to weathering and superior long-term
electrical and thermal performance. Of particular significance for automotive electronics is the low water
absorption and thus the fact that the mechanical and
electrical properties are largely independent of moisture
content or climatic conditions. Ultradur is an indispensable material in particular for safety-critical components which have to work safely and reliably throughout
the entire lifetime of a car.
18

11
Ultradur is also used in some transmission control units of automatic transmissions which are fitted directly in the transmission. Without
interfaces, cables and connectors, the functional integration makes
these mechatronic control units smaller, lighter and reduces their
susceptibility to faults. A typical grade for this extremely demanding
application is Ultradur B 4300 G6.
Ultradur is indispensable as housing material. The range of applications extends from pressure or temperature sensors and mass air flow
meters to acceleration and steering angle sensors. The sensor can be
designed either as an independent unit or as an integrated component
in more complex assemblies. Robust housings made from Ultradur are
also used to protect, among others, modern MEMS12 sensors. They thus
ensure the high reliability of these components in the long run. This is
extremely important for safety-critical functions such as airbag or ESP
systems. Ultradur is also ideally suited for ultrasonic, radar and video
sensor technology. It thus helps to make modern driver assistance systems more reliable, comfortable and affordable.
Its suitability for dimensionally stable, thin-walled housings in combination with stable electrical properties make Ultradur the ideal material
for ignition coil modules which can be mounted directly in the cylinder
head. The coils can be fixed and sealed in place with the standard casting compounds.
With the improved flowability of the Ultradur High Speed grade delicate
and thin-walled molded parts, which were previously barely conceivable, are now feasible. In addition to weight advantages, this also
allows smaller installation spaces or improved productivity thanks to
shorter cycle times.

The balanced combination of the properties makes Ultradur the obvious choice for many wire-to-wire and wire-to-board connectors which
must have high dimensional stability and low warpage. Especially compared with polyamide, the very low moisture absorption ensures small
dimensional changes and very constant properties in changing climatic
conditions.
Apart from unreinforced products such as Ultradur B 4520, the product range features a selection of glass fiber-reinforced grades such
as Ultradur B 4300 G2, B 4300 G4 and B 4300 G6.

All these products are also available in a High Speed version with
even better flowability for connectors with extremely thin walls. The easyflowing Ultradur High Speed grades are the perfect choice because
they are suitable for small grid dimensions and often allow shorter cycle
times. In addition, an easy-flowing grade with 15 percent glass fiber
reinforcement is available as Ultradur B 4300 G3 High Speed. BASF
offers the right material for almost any kind of connector type.
Ultradur is furthermore used for housing applications which are subjected to high mechanical loads and where rigid, complicated geometries
with good dimensional stability are required. Where multi-part modules
have to be fitted or tolerance-sensitive assemblies such as gear transmissions or lever actuators have to be securely enclosed, the glass fiberreinforced Ultradur grades B 4300 G2, B 4300 G4, and B 4300 G6
are widely used.

Ultradur S
Ultradur S (PBT/ASA) was specially developed for housing applications
which require even better dimensional stability, a high level of complexity,
low frictional wear or good surface quality together with high economic
efficiency. Examples are door control units or the actuators housings for
which Ultradur S 4090 G4 or S 4090 G6 are used.
In order to make it easier for molders to create complex components,
BASF offers optimized grades such as Ultradur S 4090 GX, S 4090
G4X and S 4090 G6X. These materials have lower contents of anisotropic fillers, reinforcing materials and improved demolding properties.
Thus, they are the best basis for the economic production of large and
complex components. Ultradur S is resistant to light exposure and
elevated temperatures near the windshield. It is even suitable for components on the top of the dashboard. Examples are air-conditioning
components such as diffuse fields, air distributors, ventilation grilles,
air flaps and actuators as well as solar or temperature sensors.

Most Ultradur grades meet the standard requirements in vehicle manufacturing for fire safety in line with FMVSS 302 and DIN 75200 or ISO
3795. If products in line with ISO16750 are required, BASF offers several flame-retardant grades.
Furthermore, BASF provides established flame-retardant products of the
Ultradur B 4406 range and halogen-free products, such as Ultradur
B 4441 G5 and Ultradur B 4450 G5. Detailed information about these
and other flame-retardant compounds can be found in the brochure
Engineering plastics for the E/E industry.

Ultradur HR
With the development of the hydrolysis-resistant Ultradur HR grades,
the ever-growing requirements of the automotive industry for climate
testing and thermal aging have been taken into account.
The newly developed Ultradur B 4330 G3 HR and B 4330 G6 HR are
ideal for connectors which need to qualify for SAE USCAR-2 Component
Class 5 for climate change testing at higher operating temperatures.
The hydrolysis-resistant Ultradur HR is already used as housing material
for the latest generations of ABS/ESP control units. In long-term tests
at 85C and with 85% relative humidity, it does not show any notable
signs of aging even after 5,000 hours. This grade helps to greatly improve
reliability and failsafe quality of safety-relevant electronic components in
the long run.

Ultradur LUX
With Ultradur LUX, BASF researchers have managed to raise the laser
transparency up to a high and constant level which was previously
unknown for PBT. Thanks to these improvements, much higher welding
speeds are now possible. In addition, the process window is becoming
considerably wider at the same time. Details about laser welding are
summarized in Section 4.2.
Detailed information about Ultradur can be found in the brochure
Ultradur.

3.3 Ultrason
BASFs Ultrason grades are amorphous thermoplastics
which include polysulfone (PSU), polyethersulfone (PES)
and polyphenylensulfone (PPSU). They are characterized
by a very high heat resistance. Their special qualities
are high dimensional stability as well as good, largely
temperature-independent electrical and mechanical
properties. Ultrason is inherently flame-retardant. Many
grades meet UL 94 V-0 without any additive. This property profile and its good electrical insulating capacity,

3.4 Ultraform
Ultraform is the brand name for BASFs range of thermoplastic co-polymeric polyoxymethylenes (POM). The
special feature of Ultraform is the ideal combination
of strength, stiffness and toughness, which derive from
its chemical structure. Owing to its high crystallinity,
Ultraform is stiffer and stronger than other engineering
plastics, especially within the temperature range from
50C to 120C. This compound shows no transformation between the low glass-transition temperature of
approximately -65C and the melting temperature of
approximately 170C. This results in constant mechanical properties over a wide temperature range, which is
interesting from a technical point of view.

4.1 Electromobility
Electromobility is an interesting new field where experts
anticipate a high growth potential in the coming years.
Energy-efficient electromobility is a key technology in
transforming individual mobility as well as to make
it more environmentally friendly. BASF focuses on research and development activities ranging from battery
technology and lightweight construction to intelligent
heat management and innovative materials.
Many e-mobility solutions can only be implemented reliably and efficiently by using highly versatile plastics. BASFs wide product range
helps our customers to find the best material for many of these new
and demanding applications. Our experts assist in developing new
solutions and concepts as well as putting them into practice.
One focus is placed on battery systems of hybrid or electric vehicles.
The key to the success of electromobility will be how quickly the performance, capacity, weight, safety, reliability and above all these, the
manufacturing costs and economic efficiency of the battery systems
can be improved further. Engineering plastics can make a vital contribution to optimizing the system as a whole and enabling mass production
that is economically viable.

For battery casings themselves which today are still frequently made
of metal the use of both short glass fiber-reinforced Ultramid and
long glass fiber-reinforced Ultramid Structure is possible, depending
on the size and weight of the battery. Using plastics makes it possible
to optimize the weight and space as well as to integrate many functions
easily. Modern fabrication methods which can be implemented on an
industrial scale make a crucial contribution to the economic viability of
the system as a whole.
BASF cooperates closely with partners and customers to come up with
practical solutions. Beside obvious topics such as mechanical, thermal
and electrical properties, issues relating to electromagnetic shielding,
flame retardance and crash safety are also discussed. Especially in the
event of accidents, plastics can offer crucial advantages. For instance,
Ultramid Structure is noted for its high energy absorption and good
crash performance. Not least the electrical insulating capacity of plastics can be a crucial safety factor in the event of a crash.

The wide range of products and the wide experience of our experts
can help our customers to find the best solutions for their particular
application.
The charging technology for electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids constitutes an interface between the electrical system of the vehicle and the
building installation. The single-phase or three-phase connection of the
vehicles to the low-voltage grid via control cabinets or metering units
is regulated, among others, by VDE15 Application Rule VDE-AR-N 4102.
The charging station is normally connected to the electric vehicle via
a type 2 plug-in connector in accordance with IEC 62196-2 or what
is known as the Combined Charging System. This was defined by
SAE and ACEA as a standard charging interface and should be a standard feature in all European vehicles from 2017. In this area, there is
an increasing demand for flame-retardant plastics, which have been
rarely used in the automotive industry until now.
In addition to the plastics which are already established in automotive
electrical systems, BASF as one of the leading manufacturers of engineering plastics in the area of electrical installation is able to offer a
wide range of flame-retardant products. Detailed information regarding
flame-retardant grades used in installation technology can be found in
the brochure Engineering plastics for the E/E industry.

Whereas all black standard materials more or less absorb laser light,
the challenge is to develop laser-transparent materials. The process of
laser welding requires special materials which have good and above all
consistent laser transparency. BASF offers different proven Ultramid
combinations such as Ultramid A3HG5 in black and uncolored,
or special laser-transparent products such as the black Ultramid
A3WG6 LT.
With the new Ultradur LUX, BASF researchers have been able to increase the laser transparency to a high and constant level that has
not previously been achieved for PBT. Products such as Ultradur
LUX B 4300 G4 and Ultradur LUX B 4300 G6 are available in black
and uncolored. These materials allow good process reliability and high
welding speeds. But it is not just the laser transparency per se that is
better; the quality of the laser beam which is allowed through has also
been improved considerably. It can be shown that Ultradur LUX allows
approximately two and a half times more light to pass through within
the relevant wavelength than a conventional PBT GF 30, and this at
the same time with a much lower widening of the laser beam.
