Housing technology for sensor electronics for nitrogen oxide measurement
The abbreviation NOx stands for oxides of nitrogen, primarily nitrogen monoxide and nitrogen dioxide. These gases are produced, among other things, during the combustion of fuel in the engine and are treated in the exhaust system. This process minimizes the emission of dangerous nitrogen oxides and helps improve air quality.
High-quality NOx housing technology
The complex sensor electronics for measuring nitrogen oxides require a robust housing. Mounted near the exhaust system, the housing must be able to withstand various thermal and mechanical stresses. Temperature differences and vibrations place strain on the plastic of the housing. The glass-fiber-reinforced PBT can withstand these stresses over very long periods of time and can also be machined with dimensional accuracy. In addition to dimensional accuracy, cleanliness plays a key role in housings for miniaturized electronics, especially in bonding applications. In addition to avoiding metallic particles during the process, the bonding surfaces must also be protected against any greasy contamination. This must be considered when designing the system, gripper systems, and tools. Furthermore, the handling of the inserts and finished parts must be specially coordinated. Manufacturing in fully automated process chains allows for large volumes with outstanding quality. This also ensures competitiveness in globalized markets. This consistently high quality is further assured by certification according to IATF 16949 and is regularly tested.
