Rogers Signs Licensing Agreement with SBE for Capacitor Busbar Assemblies
December 1, 2015 | Business WireEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Rogers Corporation, a global leader in engineered materials solutions, announced today that it has signed an agreement to license technology that will enhance the company’s capabilities in power distribution systems for electric and hybrid electric vehicles, renewable energy and industrial applications where efficiency, size and weight are critical factors.
This agreement with Vermont-based SBE Inc. will enable Rogers to build capacitor busbar assemblies that provide extremely low inductance and high power density in a smaller and lighter system compared to currently available approaches. Using this technology, many customers have been able to reduce the size of their DC link assemblies by half while improving efficiency and reliability at no extra cost compared to the larger conventional systems.
Bob Daigle, chief technology officer at Rogers, stated, “We’re excited to be working with SBE to provide a new generation of high-performance power electronics solutions to our customers. We believe Rogers will be able to grow this technology through our design and engineering resources in combination with our global sales and manufacturing capabilities.”
Ed Sawyer, SBE president and CEO, commented, “We are very pleased to enter into this agreement with Rogers. This partnership will benefit current and future customers by enhancing our well-developed technologies and offering a second source in the market place. Additionally, the Rogers team will accelerate introductions and design dialogs to a broader global base, increasing the impact our solutions can provide. Licensing this technology to Rogers can make a valuable contribution to the future growth of both companies.”
The capacitors, initially supplied by SBE, will be combined with laminated busbars designed and manufactured by Rogers, a recognized leader in this technology, using a patented process that maintains the low inductance in the final assembly. Rogers will begin offering these capacitor busbar assemblies in 2016, thereby providing a second source to the market place for this enabling technology.
