Sensata Technologies announced the launch of its SGX Series – the SGX150, SGX250, and SGX400 contactors.
These new series of contactors complement the existing portfolio with solutions ideal for low-power applications that require reliable switching and efficient design, such as dc fast-charging stations, electric forklifts, and automated guided vehicles.
The new SGX series uses 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 Q3 2024
The SGX series offers optimal breaking capability for applications up to 1000 V and 150 / 250 / 400A continuous current carry respectively, with an efficient design, effective and reliable switching, longevity, and a square form-factor.
“Launching the SGX Series represents a significant advancement in our contactor portfolio, offering hermetically sealed square form factor contactors with ceramic brazing and gas backfill that is tailored for low-power applications at superior performance-to-cost ratio,” said Dan Goncalves, VP, Clean Energy Solutions at Sensata Technologies.
