The requirements for ADAS sensors are diverse and demanding. Sensors are becoming more and more powerful and compact, at the same time they are highly safety-relevant components. The materials used, e.g. for the sensor housings, must therefore partly meet competing requirements. The most important material properties include, above all:
- UV, hydrolysis and chemical resistance
- mechanically robust
- laser-marking and -weldable
- low warpage
- low coefficient of thermal expansion
