Dear Friends,

The materials industry is at least as exciting as any other area of power electronics. Recent advancements have significantly contributed to thermal optimization and, consequently, to improved reliability.

Find all my magazines from 2006 on in our free archive on bodospower.com. There is no better way to communicate. We all share one world. As a publisher I serve the world: one magazine, on time, every time.

Kind regards,
Bodo Arlt

Rogers Corporation’s Power Electronics Solutions (PES) group will be exhibiting at PCIM Europe (Nuremberg, May 6 - 8, 2025) and showcasing the whole curamik® ceramic substrate and cooler portfolio, as well as the ROLINX® laminated busbar portfolio. Furthermore, the innovative thermal management solution curamik DirectCool will be displayed, as well as ROLINX Eco which is a new generation aluminum busbar with unique features.

Visitors to the Rogers booth (Hall 9, Booth 446) can learn more about curamik ceramic substrates designed for high-demand applications. Rogers ceramic substrates are characterized by high thermal conductivity, high heat capacity and heat spreading provided by the thick copper layer. These high-performance substrates are well-suited for power electronics applications. The five substrate families, curamik Power, Power Plus, Thermal, Performance and Performance Plus offer the widest range of ceramic substrates in the market to cover all applications from low and medium, like Drives, UPS, Solar, up to highest power levels, such as xEV or Wind Mill inverters. Furthermore, the latest curamik Cooling Solutions material-based products are displayed and curamik DirectCool is presented which is an innovative thermal management solution with a Si₃N₄ AMB substrate and an integrated Micro Channel Cooler that reduces the thermal system resistance. Rogers representatives offer advice on how to apply those products to photonics and electronics designs for effective thermal management and extended operating lifetimes.

Visitors will also have the chance to discover the wide range of ROLINX customized busbar solutions and assemblies renowned for their reliability, safety, and durability in the most demanding applications including mass transit and electric propulsion, industrial drives, renewable energy, and automotive systems. ROLINX busbar solutions offer low inductance, compact and highly customizable designs and in combination with capacitors, extremely low inductance, and high-power density capabilities. Besides, visitors can learn more about ROLINX Eco which is a new generation aluminum busbar with unique features regarding surface treatment, bending, contact resistance and creep, compared to traditional aluminum or copper busbars.
