Smart switches for wire harness protection

 
STi2Fuse is a new family of intelligent fuse to replace standard melting fuses in automotive power distribution systems.

STi2Fuse devices enable savings on component and production costs, while extending EV range and reducing the carbon footprint of vehicles. The monitoring, control, and digital interface capabilities of these devices help automotive systems comply with ISO26262 and related Safety Integrity Levels (SIL).
