The Pressure Sensor is a critical component within Automotive Electronics, specifically under the category of Electrification & Battery Systems and more precisely in Battery Management Systems (BMS). It plays a vital role in monitoring and maintaining the safe and efficient operation of electric vehicle (EV) battery systems.

These sensors measure the pressure inside battery cells or modules, providing real-time data that helps prevent overpressure conditions, which could lead to thermal runaway, leaks, or even catastrophic failure. By continuously tracking pressure levels, the BMS can trigger safety mechanisms, such as cooling activation or system shutdown, ensuring the longevity and reliability of the battery.

Pressure sensors are widely used in various automotive applications, including hybrid and fully electric vehicles, where they support energy management, thermal control, and overall system safety. They are also essential in monitoring fluid pressure in braking systems, fuel systems, and engine compartments, contributing to vehicle performance and driver safety.

Designed for high accuracy, durability, and reliability, these sensors operate under extreme environmental conditions, making them suitable for both on-road and off-road vehicles. Their integration into modern automotive electronics enables smarter, safer, and more efficient vehicle operation, supporting the ongoing shift toward electrification and sustainable transportation solutions.
