MTM Power, one of the leading manufacturers of customer-specific power supplies, is seeing significant growth in the defense sector in the coming year. This will be driven by a strong increase in demand for robust and highly reliable power supply solutions (AC/DC power supplies, DC/DC converters and inductors). In particular, MTM Power's patented thermoselective vacuum encapsulation is increasingly becoming a key differentiator for applications in the defense industry.

Thermoselective vacuum potting as a technological advantage

The potting process developed by MTM Power (www.mtm-power.com) protects electronic assemblies through full-surface, bubble-free encapsulation and makes them extremely resistant to external influences. The thermoselective approach ensures that the temperature distribution within the device is homogeneous and hotspots can be specifically removed. This significantly extends the service life and reliability of the device and therefore of the customer application.

The encapsulation protects sensitive components from vibrations, moisture, dust and aggressive media. This is a fundamental advantage for applications with extreme mechanical and climatic requirements, such as in military environments.

New applications in the defense sector

In the defense sector, the technology is now being used in new environments and scenarios:

- extreme temperatures from desert heat to arctic cold

- acid and salt spray resistance, for example for maritime and amphibious applications

- high shock and vibration loads, for example in military vehicles, radar systems or mobile communication solutions

MTM Power can configure power supplies individually and develop them further for particularly demanding application profiles - even in small and medium quantities. This makes the company a flexible and technologically leading partner within a market that is currently growing strongly due to geopolitical developments.

Economic dynamics: Defense drives growth

The increasing strength of the European defense industry is leading to higher demand for high-quality, reliable electronic systems. MTM Power is therefore clearly benefiting from the current market trend: The need for protected power supplies with maximum operational reliability and failure safety is increasing across the industry - particularly for communication systems, sensor technology, mobile control units, UAV technologies and vehicle platforms.

Henning Bremer, Change Management Consultant MTM Power, comments:

"We are currently experiencing a clear dynamic: the defense sector is growing rapidly - and with it the requirements for robust, highly reliable power supplies. With our thermoselective vacuum encapsulation, we have a real key technology at our disposal. We want to actively respond to this development, because it opens up completely new values for MTM Power: from the stronger positioning of our expertise to customized solutions for extreme operating conditions."
