Power Distribution (PDU) ▶ Würth Elektronik

PCB Based Systems for Power Distribution

Economical, Reliable & Optimized for Your Needs

Power distribution systems are among the most important components in a vehicle's electrical system architecture. With our central electrical units and power boards, we offer individual power distribution solutions for mobile machines and commercial vehicles.

In doing so, we apply our 30 years of know-how, which we have implemented in numerous projects for different industries - for example in the form of:

Main power distribution boards
Centralized solutions near consumers
Solutions in the cabin
Solutions in the sealed enclosure outside
Primary power distribution boards near batteries
Power distribution boards with integrated controls

We will be happy to advise you on which solution suits you best

For customers who attach particular importance to modularity, short development times and enclosure that protects against environmental influences, we offer a platform concept for compact, modularly adaptable power distribution solutions in standard housings: REDline Power Boxes.

In the manufacture of our PCB based power distributors, we use different connection technologies depending on customer requirements. Where high currents, vibrations and difficult environmental conditions play a role, press-fit technology is the first choice. But THT and SMD soldering are also frequently used, depending on the application.

In any case, our solutions are robust, compact, economical and functional. Let us inspire you with our competence and service strength.

Our Solutions for Power Distribution

Your Benefits

Profit From Our Know-how

Very high vibration resistance
High mechanical stability
Low contact resistance, therefore less warming of the component group

Access to a large library of connectors, components and Powerelements enables the development of the product that best suits your requirements
Expansion capabilities can be built in from the start by integrating spare circuits and components
Expansion possibilities of the circuits through the software using our ICCS controllers

Approx. 25% average reduction of wiring harnesses
Reduction of maintenance costs due to very high reliability of the component group
Low assembly times
No expensive assembly accessories (e.g. frames) necessary

Easy and quick assembly
Weight and space savings due to reduction of wiring harnesses
Wiring harness slimmer, lighter and therefore more flexible to handle
Reduction of interfaces
Easy connection of modular units, e.g. voltage converters, IGBT modules, electronic controls, etc.
Supply of completely assembled component groups on demand

Easy identification of the components due to the PCB silkscreen
No more need for torque controls for power connection by implementing plug-and-play solution
Easier identification of failure root cause in comparison to a hard wired solution
Easy fault diagnosis thanks to built-in diagnostics such as
- LED status indicators on the relays and fuses
- Fuse tester area on the PCB
- Current and voltage monitoring
Realization of many additional diagnostic possibilities with our ICCS product range
