(Photos: DSM Engineering Plastics: DSMPR335 With Courtesy From Automotive Lighting GMBH)A new thermally conductive thermoplastic polyester from DSM provides automotive electronics developers and designers with an innovative solution in overcoming heat management issues in such components as foglamp housings, lens holders and AFL (Adaptive Forward Lighting) frames, while minimizing any addition to vehicle weight and fuel consumption. In addition, as future LED Lighting systems do get more efficient and consume less power, this material will offer weight and cost saving potential for these Electronics driven systems as well by its unique combination of heat management, mechanics and high dimensional stability. It is also suitable for numerous types of automotive electronic components.
