Looking to replace relays and fuses in your vehicle?
Electrify your power distribution system to improve system reliability
The power distribution system enables energy to flow from a source, for example the battery, to all kinds of loads in the car in a secure and controlled manner. The physical solution for a power distribution system is based on a wire harness to transport energy, relays to start and stop the energy flow, fuses to protect the wire harness, and control units to regulate and monitor the power distribution.
Consider the following options to upgrade your vehicle’s power distribution system:
- 1) Move relay and fuse functions to a body control module (BCM)
- 2) Move relay and fuse functions to an under-the-hood electronic control unit (ECU)
- 3) Electrify the power distribution center (PDC)
For all of these electrification steps, Infineon provides trusted chipset solutions to simplify design-in and increase the reliability of your vehicle’s power distribution system.
