Essential Components for Secondary Electrical Systems in EVs

Secondary electrical systems remain critical to the utility of both EVs and traditional combustion-driven vehicles. These are the electrical systems that power everything from air conditioners, seat heaters, and infotainment systems to sirens, ladders, pumps, and other auxiliary  systems.

As the electrical loads on secondary systems continue to grow, higher-voltage components are being introduced to connect, protect, and identify these critical electrical systems. 

This article covers new developments in connectors, circuit protection, and wiring identification and protection, with examples from leading manufacturers including Amphenol Sine Systems, Aptiv, and Littelfuse.
