ROGERS, CT -- Rogers has signed an agreement to license SBE’s capacitor busbar assemblies technology.

The deal, terms of which were not disclosed, will enhance Rogers' capabilities in power distribution systems for electric and hybrid electric vehicles, renewable energy and industrial applications where efficiency, size and weight are critical factors, the materials supplier said in a press release.

SBE's technology allows the build of capacitor busbar assemblies with extremely low inductance and high power density in a smaller and lighter system compared to currently available approaches. The capacitors, initially supplied by SBE, will be combined with laminated busbars designed and manufactured by Rogers using a patented process that maintains the low inductance in the final assembly. Rogers will begin offering the assemblies in 2016.

In a statement, Rogers CTO Bob Daigle said, “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 & 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.”
