COOL. CUSTOMIZED. RELIABLE. BLUEcontactTM Solutions BLUEcontactTM Solutions The most reliable Power Connection for automotive electronics. Engineered and manufactured by ERNI Germany. The reliability of the central electrical systems, fuse and powerboards is top priority for utility vehicles. That is why ERNI developed BLUEcontact™ technology for the harsh requirements in the automotive sector: printed circuit boards and its connections do not thermally overload with high current. They are also very secure, durable and robust. ERNI takes it one step further with BLUEcontact™ Solutions: we offer you the entire workflow from project management, customer specific secure electronic development to series production in Germany.

Example central electrical system ERNI provides widespread services and key components for utility vehicles. Development services and compact, reliable components for central electrical systems, security systems and power supply. Based on their extensive expertise in the field of connectors and board-design, ERNI is expanding their services and the portfolio on key components for automotive customers. The company is focussing on the areas driver’s cab, exter-ior and motor periphery of buses, construction equipment, trucks, tractors or towing vehicles, etc. ERNI offers its wide-spread expertise in pressfit systems, in pcb assembly and as an EMS service provider to ensure secure connection also at high currents. 4 Experienced and highly qualified electronic designers have already successfully implemented numerous projects. The service portfolio offered under the slogan BLUEcontact™ Solutions comprises of the entire project management from the initial sample all the way to the final product, the unbundling of pcb’s, development and supply of mechanical components as well as the pcb assembly integration. Serial production occurs at ERNI Germany and includes assembly, soldering, pressfit and pcb assembly as well as pcb integration into its corresponding housing. More security with flexible pressfit system In working closely with the customer in making the optimised BLUEcontact™ Solutions available, the main issues raised have already been clarified: How much space is allocated for the device? Is the installation limited? Is any housing required? Can devices be located in the passenger cabin or does it need to be placed in harsh environment? Is there danger of condensation? How high is shock and vibration stress? Within the scope of BLUEcontact™ Solutions, ERNI also provides various power components with combined elastic and massive pressfit zones. While the massive pressfit zone guarantees torque support and secure fixture, the flexible pressfit zone provides optimal power transmission. In addition a comprehensive range of fuse bases, relay sockets, as well as pcb connectors for automotive and industrial applications is available with elastic pressfit zones. The company utilises its across-the-board internal tailor made tool designs and manufacturing resources for this in-house development. These robust components are characterized by a modular construction, high number of contact points and reliable pressfit contacts. The soft pressfit prevents damage to the pcb thanks to the elastic pressfit zone. Moreover, a shock and vibration free connection with higher current is achieved. ERNI provides the use of modern components in superior quality with numerous processing advantages: no tearing of the circuit paths caused by the “jet effect” during pressfit minimal swarf formation during pressfit less danger of delamination and therefore undesired shorts due to moisture trapped in the pcb greater reliability during temperature change and vibration improved process safety of the press in/out process greater hole tolerance with lower cost for the pcb improved pressfit force adjustment application less pressfit force for high number of poles, less stress on the pcb general stress minimisation of pcb Extract from the performance portfolio BLUEcontactTM components PowerElements Connectors Relay Sockets Fuse Sockets Customer Specific Connectors 5 BLUEcontactTM Central electrics The new generation electronic central unit for commercial vehicles is tougher, securer and more powerful. BLUEcontact™ incorporates the advantages of ERNI Electronics flexible press fit technology. Almost all general vehicle functions from A to Z are controlled by central electrics. The advantages of PCB based c entral electronic units as opposed to cable harnesses pays off indeed - for e xample, the minimisation of cabling and circuit faults, cost efficiency and less space required. This also applies to the c ommercial vehicle segment where secure connection and simultaneously high c urrent is especially important. BLUEcontact™ S olutions d eveloped central electronic units specifically for the high demands of this segment. Representing a new level of shock and vibration resistance and a significantly securer connection with higher current carrying capability. In this new generation of central electronics, ERNI combines efficient modular design with flexible pressfit tech- nology. A technical p rinciple with clear advantages compared to conventional m ethods, beginning with low power loss and ending with high resistance to thermal and mechanical stress. Over 30 years of know-how and experience in pressfit technology backs the high performance of BLUEcontact™ central e lectronics. Upheld by the comprehensive q uality service concept of ERNI Electronics. For you, this means obtaining everything from one source; consultation on selecting the c orrect interface c onnectors, placement recommendations, 3D integration of central electrics in the vehicle, connection of remaining cable harness connector and dummy samples, to central electric series production. This you can expect from the technological leader of pressfit technology.
