STEP-BY-STEP CONFIGURATION
Pick token by token following the manufacturer's coding table; we'll generate the exact part number and open a tailored datasheet.
Customer-specific requirements (load/coil terminal layout, functional extras) are reviewed by our team and assigned as a characteristic code.
TECHNICAL DIFFERENTIATORS
16 kA @ 1 kV repeated interruption — verified by rigorous testing
Protects the vehicle even in the most dangerous full-battery short-circuit scenarios.
Arc suppression via magnetic actuator + magnetic blowout + dielectric gas
Faster opening than traditional fuses — millisecond-class response.
Sensata's 2026 first-of-its-kind hybrid protection device
First-ever industry combination of contactor and fuse — the cornerstone of next-gen EV architecture.
Eliminates pyrofuse, busbars and low-voltage harnesses
Radically simplifies EV power architecture and reduces production and service cost.
Reduces component count by more than 50%
Lower total system weight, volume, assembly time and thermal losses.
Hermetic sealing — low, stable contact resistance with no extra cooling
Thermal management simplifies and BMS integration becomes easier.
Passive fuse function inherently supports functional-safety compliance
Directly supports EV OEM homologation and certification processes.
Dual configuration provides system-level redundancy
For premium and luxury EV platforms targeting the highest reliability.
Unlike single-shot pyrofuses — resettable after nuisance faults
Maximises vehicle uptime and minimises warranty cost.
Passive operation — no external detection electronics required
Shortens service time; no part swap on nuisance trips.
