SUMIDA's New Drive for Electromobility (HPC)

Over the next decade, the world will see a significant shift from traditional combustion engines to electric and hybrid vehicles. However, the success and acceptance of electromobility will also depend, among other things, on the availability of nationwide and rapid charging facilities, which will lead to a massive expansion of the charging infrastructure in the near future.

This will also rapidly increase the demand for inductive components, which play a key role in electronic modules and subsystems such as AC/DC and DC/DC converters. SUMIDA's product strategy focuses on components and module solutions for power supplies in DC wall boxes, HPC charging columns and charging pads in wireless charging systems.

Provided Solutions 

Our product portfolio ranges from transformers for DC/DC converters, PFC power chokes, EMI filter chokes and modules to wireless charging pads for ground and vehicle applications. In product technology and development, SUMIDA clearly focuses on issues such as high-power density, small size, high efficiency and robustness.

SUMIDA's in-house development of magnetic materials and production of magnetic cores (ferrite and iron powder), which usually form the core of inductive components, provide the most important prerequisites for optimal solutions.

The power range of the components is currently around 50kW, although > 400kW can be realized by scaling.

In addition to product development and validation, SUMIDA's range of services includes rapid prototyping and intensive customer support during the project phase, as well as cost- and quality-optimized series production through to EOL support (cradle to grave).

Based on the global SUMIDA production network, products can be manufactured in Asia, Europe and North America, offering customers a high degree of flexibility and security of supply.

Development and customer-specific applications are carried out close to the customer in one of SUMIDA's global development centers in Asia, Europe or North America.

Here, prototypes, samples and pre-series parts can be realised quickly to ensure optimum  support for our customers with new projects.
