Analysis of the core foundation of high-voltage DC relays: Precision Metallized Ceramics technology

Mar 22, 2026

Against the backdrop of the rapid rise of the new energy vehicle and energy storage industries, high-voltage DC relays, as the core component of high-voltage circuit control, directly determine the safety and efficient operation of the entire system through their performance stability. Precision Metallized Ceramics has become the core shell material for high-voltage DC relays and is one of the most core applications of Metallized Ceramics technology in the new energy field, providing key support for the reliable operation of high-voltage DC relays.

Core structure: Multi-component collaborative adaptation to high-voltage scenarios

 

The precision metallized ceramic housing boasts a rigorous core structure, with each component working in concert to ensure its suitability for high-voltage applications. The white main body utilizes high-purity alumina ceramic, typically 95% or 99% alumina, leveraging its excellent insulation, high-strength mechanical properties, and high-temperature resistance to create a robust high-voltage insulation barrier – a core material advantage of Precision Metallized Alumina Ceramic Components. The top metal cylinder, serving as the contact lead-out terminal, is typically made of oxygen-free copper and securely welded to the ceramic holes using a specialized metallization process. It plays a crucial role in connecting the internal contacts to the external circuitry, ensuring stable power transmission. The bottom metal flange, located at the ceramic's bottom edge, is also metallized to allow for brazing with the relay's metal base, achieving complete hermetic sealing. This process fully embodies the core technological logic of Ceramic to Metal.

Key processes: Determine product performance and reliability

 

The choice of key processes directly determines the performance of precision metallized ceramics. Currently, these products mostly employ Mo-Mn (molybdenum-manganese method) or AMB (active metal brazing) processes. These two processes ensure extremely high bonding strength between the metal layer and the ceramic, typically greater than 150 MPa, effectively withstanding severe vibrations and high/low temperature cycles during vehicle operation. This guarantees the long-term reliability of the precision metallized ceramic shell and further promotes the iterative optimization of Alumina Metallized Ceramics technology, helping it better adapt to the development needs of the new energy industry.
