Sensata launches FaultBreak contactor for EVs. Sensata Technologies has launched FaultBreak, a high voltage device combining fuse and contactor functions for EVs * March 5, 2026 Sensata Technologies has launched the FaultBreak contactor, a high voltage switching and protection device designed to combine the functions of a fuse and contactor in a single unit for electric vehicles. The company says the component reduces part count by more than 50% compared to conventional fuse and contactor systems. FaultBreak offers passive fault protection that interrupts high-magnitude fault currents without relying on external detection electronics, supporting ISO 26262 compliance. The device has been validated to clear faults of up to 16kA at 1kV and can be reset after temporary faults, unlike single-use pyrofuses. "Our FaultBreak contactor represents an important advancement in high voltage protection," Markus Schwabe, Executive Vice President of Automotive at Sensata Technologies, said. "It helps our customers build electric vehicles that are safer, more dependable, and more economical to produce and maintain." By eliminating the need for separate pyrofuses, busbars, and low voltage harnesses, the component simplifies vehicle architecture and reduces weight and thermal losses, according to Sensata. The device features hermetic sealing for stable contact resistance and a compact footprint suited to higher voltage EV platforms. Sensata will showcase FaultBreak at ACT Expo 2026 in Las Vegas from 5-7 May.

Anglia Components signs pan-european deal with Sensata tech. February 23, 2026 Anglia Components has signed a Pan European distribution agreement with Sensata, the global industrial technology company and leading provider of sensors, sensor-rich solutions, and electrical protection devices used in mission-critical systems. Anglia is focusing on Sensata's range of pressure sensors, as well as its reed relays and liquid level sensors (Sensata's Cynergy3 brand), solid state relays (Sensata's Crydom brand), circuit breakers and thermostats (Sensata's Airpax brand) and high voltage relays (Sensata's Gigavac brand). Commented John Bowman, Anglia's Marketing Director "Sensata's broad range of sensing solutions encompasses many on industry's most established and venerated brands. Design engineers can be assured of the high quality and performance of these products and we are delighted to add them to Anglia's portfolio, providing a wider product offering for our industrial customer base."
