How to design interconnects for EV battery management systems
Sponsored by TTI By Gijs Werner, Director of Distribution & Marketing FCI Basics BU, Amphenol ICC Electric vehicles are becoming the new norm on the road—earlier this year, Americans bought more electric vehicles than ever before, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Consumers purchased more than 122,000 electric vehicles in March 2021 alone, making… Read more »
TDK’s new temperature sensors protect high voltage DC connectors in EVs
TDK’s new high-voltage-resistant temperature sensors for connectors are designed to protect batteries operating at high voltages. The company designed these sensors to respond quickly, remain stable at high temperatures, and integrate directly into connectors. The company says its challenge in the design was finding a material with both high electrical insulation properties and strong thermal… Read more »
Contactors for Disconnection of High Voltage DC for xEV Applications
Electrical currents in EV battery systems can flow in both directions, which can cause potentially dangerous situations during high voltage currents. As a result, contactors are used as a safety disconnection device for high voltage battery banks and DC chargers for xEV applications. However, these two applications for electric vehicles have vastly different requirements. Consequently,… Read more »
