Abstract
Electrical module designs are disclosed for motor vehicles. An exemplary electrical module (e.g., a junction box, etc.) may include a polymer-based housing assembly and an EMC shield that is adapted to influence an electromagnetic compatibility of the polymer-based housing assembly. The EMC shield may include a metallic foil, a metallic filler, a metallic coating, or combinations thereof.
Claims22
A vehicle electrical module, comprising:
- a housing assembly including a polymer-based substrate and an electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) shield adapted to influence an electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of the polymer-based substrate,
- wherein the vehicle electrical module is a high voltage junction box.
(canceled)
A motor vehicle, comprising:
- an electrical module including:
- a first polymer-based housing section;
- a second polymer-based housing section;
- an electronic housed within an interior established by the first and second polymer-based housing sections;
- and
- an electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) shield adapted to increase an electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of the electrical module,
- wherein the electrical module is a high voltage junction box.

A motor vehicle, comprising:
- an electrical device;
- a high voltage junction box configured to distribute electrical power to the electrical device, wherein the high voltage junction box includes:
- a first polymer-based housing section;
- a second polymer-based housing section;
- an electronic housed within an interior established by the first and second polymer-based housing sections;
- and
- an electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) shield adapted to increase an electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of the high voltage junction box,
- wherein the EMC shield includes a metallic foil that is secured to a polymer-based substrate of the first polymer-based housing section for the second polymer-based housing section, and a metallic filler provided within a resin of the polymer-based substrate.
