Sensata Technologies announced the launch of its SGX Series ? the SGX150, SGX250 and SGX400 contactors. These newseries of contactors complement the existing portfolio with solutions ideal for low-power applications that require reliable switching and efficient design like residential energy storage systems, DC fast charging stations, and industrial applications such as electric forklifts and Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV).

The new SGX series utilize ceramic to metal weld technology with several advantages: Hermetically sealed for optimal breaking capabilities, Usage up to 175°C with effective handling of over-current conditions, Gas backfilled (primarily hydrogen) resulting in low and stable contact resistance, Tailored to residential Energy Storage Systems (ESS), DC fast charge, industrial AGV /forklift applications, Complies with IEC 60664-1 and RoHS standards, UL certified by early Third Quarter 2024. The SGX seriesoffers optimal breaking capability for applications up to 1000V and 150 /250 /400A continuous current carry respectively, with an efficient design, effective and reliable switching, longevity, and a square form-factor. The series will be showcased for the first time at The Battery Show Europe in Stuttgart, Germany from June 18 - 20 at Sensata?s booth #10-D40, along with the rest of Sensata?s portfolio of market-leading high-power contactors that can go up to 1500V and 1000A, smart disconnect devices, high power fuses, ISO 26262 certified battery management systems, and rapid response insulation monitoring devices.
