What Is a Custom PDU

A Power Distribution Unit (PDU) manages and distributes electrical power within battery and energy systems. A custom PDU is designed to match system requirements such as voltage/current levels, physical layout constraints, integration with battery packs and control systems, and environmental & safety standards.

Our Role in Custom PDU Manufacturing

We focus on the mechanical and system-level manufacturing of custom PDUs—enclosure machining, sealing design, and integration readiness.

Precision machining
Interfaces · flatness · consistency
Sealing architecture
Gasket/O-ring grooves · ingress
Thermal readiness
Heat paths · cooling options
Scale-up support
Prototype → pilot → mass
Integration-first mindset

We align enclosure design with connector/busbar features, HV routing, sealing targets, and assembly sequence—so the PDU is manufacturable and repeatable.

Thermal Considerations

PDUs may contain heat-generating components. We design housings with passive heat paths, integration options for cooling plates/heat sinks, and thermal isolation where required.

Design considerations
  • Passive heat dissipation
  • Cooling plate / heat sink integration
  • Thermal isolation where required
  • Stable operating temperatures

Sealing and Environmental Protection

Environmental protection is essential for PDU reliability. We support IP-rated sealing architectures, precision gasket/O-ring grooves, and controlled ingress points for cables and vents.

We support
  • IP-rated sealing architectures
  • Precision gasket and O-ring grooves
  • Controlled ingress points (cables & vents)
  • Protection against dust and moisture
