E-connectivity fasteners for Electric Vehicles
One of the clearest examples of where internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles and Electric Vehicles (EVs) differ is in respect of their need for electricity connectivity – or e-connectivity.
The new assemblies such as the charging lead connection points that enable electricity to feed to the battery are as fundamental to an EV’s operation as the petrol or diesel tank is to an ICE vehicle.
So, for EV designers, e-connectivity is an area that requires detailed focus to ensure the driver and owner can depend on being able to charge their vehicle reliably in the long term. Any issues with the assemblies and devices that facilitate e-connectivity will stand in the way of using the EV with confidence.
This is where EJOT can help EV designers succeed. EJOT has been at the forefront of fastening solutions for the automotive industry for decades and today our products are used routinely by many of the world’s leading vehicle manufacturers, including those focusing on hybrids and EVs.
At the core of EJOT’s EV e-connectivity expertise is our range of screws designed for joining plastics, particularly the EJOT Delta PT and EJOT EVO PT. Both these screws are optimised for thread-forming in thermoplastics to deliver the highest possible clamp load with low surface pressure in the plastic. These characteristics deliver great versatility which makes the screws very well suited to the demands of e-connectivity assemblies.
Whether standardisation of multiple joints is required or a single use screw, EJOT can offer the product and technical help to deal with the new demands e-connectivity brings. Our Delta Calc and EVO Calc prognosis programs can help designers straight from the initial development phase to select the correct product. Both have the potential to save time and costs during the development process.
Many of the benefits of Delta PT and EVO PT are common across all the EJOT fastening solutions for EVs. Our range spans everything from lightweight material fixings/ fasteners, fixings for composites and screws for aluminium and multi materials, to self-drilling fasteners, including: self drilling screws for plastic and small self tapping screws for plastic. Plus, plastic fasteners, removable fasteners, micro screws, special application fasteners, thread forming screws for plastic, heat sink screws and self-tappers and car trim fixings.
