Battery Packs and Power Distribution Units

The GigaFuse from Sensata significantly reduces resistance, eliminates thermal aging, and increases system efficiency of the battery pack

Battery packs and their related power distribution units are usually used in a variety of electric vehicles: forklifts, autonomously guided vehicles, light electric vehicles such as scooters or motorbikes, utility vehicles, niche heavy vehicle & off-road, rail vehicles, and also non-professional and recreational vehicles such supercars, campers, and maritime vehicles.
In advanced battery systems, the quality of the power electronics helps determine the quality of the final product, its level of functionality, and its reliability. There is a lot of energy in a modern battery, and catastrophic failure can certainly involve thermal runaway (fire). The increasing level of publicity being given to EV fires has brought more attention to this danger, which is why safety concerns must be addressed in order to avoid adversely impacting public EV adoption.
Solutions from Sensata enable design engineers to provide the levels of protection that are required for the advanced battery systems of today and the future.
