The solution brings together technologies from Sensata’s portfolio, including contactors, fuses and current sensors, integrating high-voltage functions into a single system level solution. The company said this approach reduces reliance on custom-engineered solutions.

“Commercial vehicle manufacturers are under pressure to scale electrification programs while managing increasing system complexity,” said Brian Wilkie, executive vice president and president of Aerospace, Defense and Commercial Equipment at Sensata Technologies. “With the OmniNode, we are delivering an integrated, off-the-shelf approach that helps engineers simplify power distribution architecture, accelerate development timelines and bring greater consistency and efficiency to vehicle platform design.”

The scalable solution is designed to help OEMs optimize system packaging while integrating charging and power distribution functions within a common platform. It supports standardized power distribution across vehicle programs while maintaining flexibility for different applications and configurations.
