As electrification across industries increases system currents, voltages, and associated risks, the PyroFuse addresses the critical need for advanced safety solutions to protect high-voltage systems and ensure operational reliability. Sensata’s STPS500 series PyroFuse quickly disconnects the load in the event of a short circuit or accident, safeguarding both the vehicle occupants and electrical system. Compared to traditionally used thermal fuses, Sensata’s PyroFuse offers faster and more reliable circuit interruption, providing immediate protection against electrical faults with a disconnect time of less than 1 millisecond.
The PyroFuse features a high breaking capacity, capable of interrupting currents of up to 20,000A at 500V and 16,000A at 1000V, offering exceptional protection in high-energy environments. Additionally, it can handle up to 500A of continuous current at 1000V, delivering robust performance in demanding applications.
Key features and benefits of Sensata’s STPS500 series PyroFuse include:
Mark McBrine, Product Line Owner, Electrification at Sensata Technologies, said: "Our new PyroFuse provides rapid and reliable protection in high-voltage applications, enhancing system safety and reliability. This launch highlights our commitment to safety, performance, and innovation in vehicle electrification."
Visit Sensata Technologies at ACT Expo from April 28-30 in booth 6811 to learn more about its PyroFuse and innovations in high-voltage switching, sensing, protection, charging control, and power distribution.

NEW YORK (AP) — Cade Cunningham wasn't thinking about himself after the first postseason victory of his career. His focus was on all the Detroit fans who stuck by the Pistons during 17 years since the last one.
Now Cunningham and his teammates want to give those fans more than just a game. They want to get them a series.
Cunningham had 33 points and 12 rebounds, Dennis Schroder made the tiebreaking 3-pointer with 55 seconds left, and the Pistons snapped their NBA-record, 15-game postseason losing streak by beating the New York Knicks 100-94 on Monday night in Game 2 of their playoff series.
“It’s a great feeling. It feels good to represent the city like we did tonight,” Cunningham said. “It’s something that the city been waiting on for a long time, so we feel good about it and we’re ready to get back to the crib and perform in front of them.”
The Pistons, who hadn’t even been to the postseason since 2019, recovered after the Knicks erased a 15-point deficit to earn their first playoff victory since Game 4 of the 2008 Eastern Conference finals against Boston. The Celtics won the final two games of that series and the Pistons were then swept in 2009, 2016 and 2019 before dropping Game 1 at Madison Square Garden.
Now they are back in the win column, all tied in the series and will host Game 3 on Thursday night.
Schroder, who wasn’t even on the Pistons until a trade in February, nailed the 3-pointer after the Knicks had used a 16-4 run to tie it at 94 on Josh Hart’s dunk. He finished with 20 points off the bench.
The Pistons engineered one of the biggest turnarounds in NBA history this season, going 44-38 after a 14-win season in 2023-24 that included a 28-game losing streak, longest ever in a single season.
They were then in good shape to win Game 1 with an eight-point lead after three quarters, before the Knicks used a 21-0 run in the fourth to win 123-112. Detroit built another eight-point advantage after three Monday, and this time made the big plays after another Knicks rally.
“We got bigger things we’re out here for,” coach J.B. Bickerstaff said. “So our focus, and that’s why our guys have been able to grow and be consistent, because they just think about the now and I thought they did a great job tonight of staying in the moment and doing what we needed to do.”
Jalen Brunson scored 37 points for the No. 3-seeded Knicks, but Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby were each limited to 10 after both finished with 23 points in the opener.
“And now it’s on us to respond,” Brunson said.
Cunningham bounced back with a strong performance after the All-Star guard was just 8 for 21 in Game 1. The Knicks struggled to keep him out of the paint and defend him without fouling, as the Pistons shot 14 free throws to the Knicks’ two while building a 55-49 lead at halftime.
