YAGEO Enhances Thermal Sensing for EV Power Electronics and Charging Systems

As electric vehicles continue evolving toward higher power densities and faster charging capabilities, accurate temperature monitoring has become increasingly critical across electric drivetrains, power electronics, and charging infrastructure. YAGEO Nexensos addresses these requirements with its portfolio of platinum-based temperature sensors, engineered to deliver precise, reliable, and long-term temperature measurement for electromobility applications. The company's solutions support safe and efficient operation of electric motors, power electronics, and EV charging systems while enabling the adoption of next-generation materials and higher operating temperatures.

A key focus of the portfolio is temperature monitoring in power electronics, where the transition to silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductors is enabling higher efficiency and extended driving range. YAGEO Nexensos' sinterable and solderable SMD platinum RTD temperature sensors are designed with advanced backside metallization to support standard silver (Ag) sinter processing. The sensors operate across application temperatures from -50°C to over +200°C, depending on the connection technology, while providing electrical insulation between the sensing layer and substrate. This enables installation closer to the power die, improving thermal coupling, response time, measurement accuracy, and overall system compactness. The sensors are also RoHS compliant and support modern bonding technologies, including aluminum thick-wire connections.

The company's platinum RTD technology is also designed for electric motor temperature monitoring, where reliable thermal management is essential for long-term drivetrain performance. The sensor assemblies provide drift stability throughout extended operational lifetimes, precise temperature measurement over a wide operating range, and robust encapsulation with high dielectric strength. Designed for demanding e-motor environments, the assemblies feature IP67 and IP68 certifications, proven oil resistance, and customizable mounting options that simplify integration and support reliable operation throughout the vehicle's service life.

For EV charging infrastructure, YAGEO Nexensos offers platinum sensor elements and sensor assemblies that enable accurate hotspot detection within high-power charging equipment. As charging power increases, precise temperature monitoring becomes increasingly important to ensure operator safety and protect charging hardware. The company's miniature sensor solutions can be positioned close to potential heat sources, including within charging connector pins, delivering fast response times, stable measurement signals after repeated thermal cycling, and reliable operation throughout the system's lifetime. The portfolio includes both SMD-type sensors for connection components and sensor assemblies for in-pin temperature detection, while supporting compliance with evolving safety requirements, including the GB20234.4 charging standard in China.

Beyond individual products, YAGEO Nexensos emphasizes application-specific customization to optimize precision, reliability, and manufacturing efficiency. The company works closely with customers to develop standardized and customized platinum temperature sensor solutions tailored to specific electromobility requirements, supporting innovations in power electronics, electric drive systems, charging technologies, and advanced production processes. All solutions are developed to comply with EN ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 quality management standards.

By combining platinum RTD technology, high-temperature capability, advanced packaging options, and customizable sensor assemblies, YAGEO Nexensos enables more accurate thermal management across electric vehicle powertrains, power electronics, and charging infrastructure. The technology supports safer operation, higher efficiency, and improved reliability as EV manufacturers continue adopting higher-performance semiconductor technologies and next-generation electrified mobility platforms.
