Die-Cut Solutions for Electric Vehicle Batteries: Thermal Management

Electric vehicle batteries are very sensitive to changes in temperature and maintaining their surroundings at the proper conditions for optimal performance and safety is no easy task. Active thermal management systems can quickly become expensive and bulky, but with the careful placement of custom die-cut supplemental passive thermal management solutions made from high-performance specialty materials, EV manufacturers now have more options than ever when it comes to lightweight and effective EV battery thermal management.

6 Ways to Die-Cut Your Way to a Lighter Electric Vehicle Battery

The heart and soul of a Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) is, not surprisingly, its battery. Unfortunately, it's the weight of these bulky portable power plants - often topping 1,500 pounds - that creates numerous challenges that drive the demand for the use of lightweight materials in their construction. Here are 6 ways that custom die-cut parts can help lower the weight of an EV battery.

5 Go-To EMI / RFI Shielding and Grounding Tapes for Die-Cut Applications

If you have read our post on selection criteria for die-cut EMI/RFI shielding and grounding tapes, you know that there is a lot to consider when choosing which tape is right for your die-cut application. This post outlines five core products to consider as you start your search and provides a link to order a free sample kit.

Webinar: Solve EMI/RFI Shielding & Grounding Challenges with Die-Cut Tapes

JBC Technologies recently co-hosted an EMI/RFI shielding webinar with representatives from 3M. Watch the on-demand recording for ideas on how to use die-cut electrically conductive tapes to solve EMI shielding, grounding, and bonding challenges, fix electronic buzz, squeak, and rattle, and meet EMC design standards.

Die-Cut Solutions to Minimize EMI/RFI in Connected Electronics

The sensitive electronic components that power the interconnected and improved user experience of today’s devices are increasingly susceptible to the challenges associated with electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). Without proper shielding and grounding, EMI and RFI can compromise performance by distorting and delaying data. The good news is that in many cases this can be addressed with a piece of custom die-cut specialty tape.

10 Best Selection Criteria for 3M™ Shielding & Grounding Tapes

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) can cause EMI noise, crosstalk, low signal-to-noise ratio, poor signal reception, higher error rates, and slower communication speeds, negatively impacting sensitive analog circuits and sensors. The good news is that in many cases all of this can be addressed with a piece of custom die-cut specialty tape. This post highlights 10 questions to ask to help narrow down which die-cut 3M Electrically Conductive Tape is right for your application.
