Electrification Solutions for Electric and Hybrid Electric Vehicles (EV/HEV)
The advantages of Electric, Hybrid, and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles have been long known. To the everyday driver, they offer reduced fuel costs. For the environment, they utilize renewable energy and offer reduced emissions. Challenges associated with vehicle electrification stem from a limited availability of technologies to enable the use of electricity or hydrogen as a fuel source in a safe and cost-effective manner.
With our vast automotive expertise, engineering resources and manufacturing capabilities, Amphenol sensors offers various sensor solutions that enable automotive manufacturers to accelerate the electrification of vehicles around the world.

1. Battery Pack
Consists of a cluster of individual batteries that serve as the primary fuel source of the vehicle, replacing hydrocarbon fuels used in conventional ICE automobiles.
● Temperature Sensors
●
Current Sensors
●
Acceleration Sensors
2. Thermal Runaway
Occurs when battery cells exceed allowable operating temperature causing an explosion/fire, which then propagates, or spreads, to other cells within the battery pack.
● Temperature Sensors
●
Pressure Sensors
● Gas Detection Sensors
3. Cell Connection System (CCS)
Used as top cover of the battery cell to provide connectivity with the Battery Management System (BMS).
● Temperature Sensors
●
Current Sensors
4. Power Inverter / E-motor
Converts higher voltage DC electricity to lower voltage AC electricity that is required to power the electric motor.
● Temperature Sensors
●
Inductive Position Sensors
●
Current Sensors
5. High Voltage Charger Connector
Connects the high voltage source to charge the battery within the vehicle.
●
Temperature Sensors
6. Motor Coil
Wire coils that generate a magnetic field and conduct electric current. The interaction between the two generates rotation of the motor shaft and the actual conversion of electrical to mechanical energy.
● Temperature Sensors
7. Battery Coolant
Circulates around the battery cell to assist in maintaining optimum battery temperature.
●
Temperature Sensors
● Pressure Sensors
●● Combined Pressure & Temperature Sensors
● Ultrasonic Level Sensors
●
Coolant Breach/Water Intrusion Sensors
Fuel Cell
Typically generates electricity by combining atmospheric oxygen and on-board compressed hydrogen.
● Temperature Sensors
●
Pressure Sensors
●
Gas Detection Sensors
●
Level Sensors
● Temperature Sensors
Measure and monitor surface temperature of the many batteries within the battery cell, which is critical to preserving the chemistry of the battery.
• Single point temperature sensors
• Rigid and flexible types
• Custom sensor packaging
● Current Sensors
Measure and monitor current flowing to and from battery.
• Hall effect, open loop current sensor
• Busbar or wire mounting

● Water Detection Sensors
Detects moisture leakage and feeds a signal to the Battery Management System.
• 510kΩ±3%
• Operating temperature range: -40C to +85C
• RoHS Compliance (Directive 2011/65/EU)
● Accelerometers
Mechanincally testing the battery pack.
• Electrically isolated sensors
• Wide frequency range
• High sensitivty with low noise
