US 11,114,715 B2 · Enclosure assemblies with improved electromagnetic compatibility

Abstract

This disclosure details exemplary electrical module designs for use in electrified vehicles. An exemplary electrical module (e.g., a battery pack, control module, etc.) may include a component (e.g., battery array, bussed electrical center, battery electric control module, etc.) and an enclosure assembly that houses the component. The enclosure assembly may include a polymer-based substrate and a metallic foil that is adapted to improve an electromagnetic compatibility of the polymer-based substrate. A compression limiter may be positioned within the enclosure assembly and is adapted to establish a conductive path between the metallic foil and a separate metallic component (e.g., a fastener) of the electrical module.

Dependent claims

A vehicle electrical module, comprising:

a component;
an enclosure assembly housing the component,
wherein the enclosure assembly includes a polymer-based substrate and a metallic foil adapted to improve an electromagnetic compatibility of the polymer-based substrate;
and
a compression limiter received within an opening of the enclosure assembly and adapted to establish a conductive path between the metallic foil and a different metallic component,
wherein a first portion of the metallic foil is located inwardly from an outer layer of the polymer-based substrate and a second portion of the metallic foil lines a surface of the outer layer that circumscribes the opening.
