ADAS Cameras

Drawing from leading expertise in handheld device camera systems, Henkel moved into ADAS with a total solutions approach. At every level of camera construction - from the die within the image processor to component connection, thermal management, PCB protection and structural bonding of the final lens assembly - Henkel's automotive camera materials are the comprehensive, enabling factor to safety-enhancing functionality. The ability to facilitate reliable performace and a clear view in temperature extremes, during rough rides and after exposure to harsh conditions - all while making the move toward greener, more environmentally friendly formulations - is what sets Henkel automative camera materials apart.

Bonding for ADAS Cameras

When it comes to automotive safety, failure is not an option, making lens precision and module durability vital to camera effectiveness. Henkel solutions deliver the latest technologies backed by leading expertise to deliver a sure result. 

Henkel's broad portfolio of lens bonding, module assembly, threadlocking and die attach adhesives - both in customized and original formulations - offer cure flexibility and processing adaptability. UV-, thermal- and dual-cure adhesives for lens bonding provide high stability, with less than a 1% change in size after cure to ensure precision active alignment and in-use focus reliability. Module assembly materials are also as versatile, with UV only, as well as dual-cure (UV and thermal) options for reliable bonding of the lens barrel, housing, PCB, camera module, IR filter and image sensor.

At the chip level, non-conductive die attach adhesives in multiple formulations and mediums offer strong die bonding for reliable image sensor performance. Strong adhesion, robust temperature stability, application-specific customisation and a move toward green formulation sare why automotive camera specialists are increasingly turning to Henkel for bonding solutions. 

Connecting Materials for ADAS Cameras

Your partner for reliable electrical interconnection in ADAS cameras

A history of innovative solder formulations and market firsts – from high-reliability alloys to game-changing, temperature-stable solder pastes – continue to deliver the performance that electronics specialists require for today's demanding assemblies. As the leading global supplier of electronics assembly materials, Henkel is uniquely capable of delivering a holistic materials approach for reliable electronic performance. Market-leading solder pastes, cored wire and liquid fluxes; electrically conductive adhesives; and, innovative printed inks offer strong component and PCB interconnect for on-demand, long-term, reliable performance.

As the market leader in thermal management materials, Henkel delivers high-performance BERGQUIST brand thermal interface materials (TIMs) spanning a wide range of mediums and thermal conductivities to accommodate various heat dissipation requirements and manufacturing preferences. Printable phase change TIMs, custom die-cut GAP PADs and liquid dispensable gap fillers offer the conformity, low stress and thermal conductivity required to move heat away from critical components so that automotive cameras maintain their cool to offer safety-enhancing performance.

Protecting Materials for ADAS Cameras

Solutions for safeguarding all elements of automotive cameras from the effects of moisture, corrosion, adverse environmental conditions, electromagnetic interference, vibration and shock.

Henkel’s range of protecting materials is broad, covering everything from conformal coatings for PCB performance longevity to underfills and encapsulants for image sensor reliability, and EMI shielding coatings and sealants for minimized signal noise.

This focus on exceptional protection extends from the inside out – all the way to the camera housing, where Henkel’s TECHNOMELT low-pressure molding materials offer a fast, cost-effective alternative to traditional plastic injected molding techniques, and our potting materials provide rugged defense for cameras mounted on vehicle exteriors. With Henkel materials protecting them, automotive cameras are fail-safe.
