Housing technology Tailor-made solutions for high-specification electronic components
Power supply units and printed circuit boards require high-performance electronics housings: They have to protect power electronics against dust and prevent contact, and also dissipate heat-related power losses. Other requirements include effective electromagnetic shielding against electric or magnetic fields – or protection of the environment from radiation emitted by the device. Application-specific electronics housings from CTX can be customized for individual requirements, whether manufactured as single parts, in small batches or series production. Because only a suitable housing guarantees long-term and reliable use of the high-specification electronic components.
Monitoring of cooling processes
CTX specializes in cooling of electronic components. Our high level of expertise and experience in the design of cooling solutions therefore also goes into the development of electronic housings. We recommend a suitable housing for your application and determine whether sufficient cooling can be obtained with a smooth or ribbed surface and natural convection, or if an additional fan is needed.
Application-specific electronics housings
We will be glad to assist you with the design of a suitable housing. We have at our disposal decades of application experience in diverse sectors: automotive, household and entertainment electronics, regenerative energies, facilities equipment, computers and industrial power supply units. We discuss the various aspects with the customer and implement the best possible solution on that basis. CTX electronics housings are made entirely according to requirements. Virtually anything is possible.
We clarify the following issues up front:
- How much space is needed for the electronic components?
- Will the housing be installed in a larger unit or in a switch cabinet?
- Will it be used indoors or outdoors?
- Do the electronic components require special IP or EMC protection?
- Is one custom housing needed, or an entire series?
- Is it necessary to take into account the positions of holes for cable bushings or for mounting of switches?
- Does the housing require special mounts, brackets or carrying handles?
- Will the housing be visible after installation, therefore requiring an attractive design?
- Should the housing have a cooling function in addition to protection?
Cooling, protection or shielding? Or all of these functions combined?
In addition to electronics housings produced by die-casting, profile or stamping/forming technology, the spectrum of products and services also includes aluminum technical elements and a front panel service. CTX electronics housings optimally combine functionality and design.
