Each module switches, protects and monitors up to 16 electrical loads, with channels programmable from 1A to 10A for a total capacity of up to 160A.\n\n## How the SPHM/SEHM Series Works\n\nThe [Sensitron Semiconductor](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/000dk2l/sensitron-semiconductor) series is built on a microcontroller-based, commercial off-the-shelf architecture. It replaces discrete circuit breakers, solid state relays and system monitors with one networked unit. Channels can be paralleled to drive higher-current loads, which the company said lets system designers tailor the power architecture to the platform.\n\nProtection features include true I²t protection with thermal memory, instant-trip capability and a trip-free reset circuit. Soft turn-on and turn-off limit inrush and reduce electromagnetic interference. Integrated current, voltage and temperature sensing delivers readings accurate to within 5% across the full operating temperature range, and measurements and channel status are reported to the system controller over dual CAN or dual RS485 interfaces.\n\nAdditional features include start-up and continuous built-in self-test, galvanic isolation between the control interface and line power, programmable interface I/O signals, a bootloader with field-updatable runtime code and onboard code space for customer-developed application software. The modules use conduction cooling with an operating range of −45°C to +100°C.\n\n\"The introduction of our latest 270VDC Solid State Power Controller represents a significant leap forward in thermal management, effectively reducing junction temperatures by 15% compared to industry standard components,\" said Joseph Castaldo, Sensitron's Vice President of Sales and Marketing. \"By leveraging advanced wide-bandgap semiconductor materials, Sensitron Semiconductor is empowering engineers to push the boundaries of power distribution in the most demanding aerospace and defense applications.\"\n\nThe SPHM Series is supplied as an open-frame card for integration into existing enclosures, while the SEHM Series adds an IP67-rated enclosure for harsh environments. Target applications include military ground vehicles, unmanned and manned aerial vehicles, marine vessels, command and communication centers, energy exploration equipment and off-highway vehicles.

In April 2026 the company released the SCP-5282-300-450-3 TVS module, providing 450kW peak pulse protection for three-phase 115VAC systems compliant with MIL-STD-1399, MIL-STD-704 and DO-160 Level 5. In March 2026 it launched the SHD763701-1 MOS Gated Thyristor for high-reliability aerospace, defense and industrial high-voltage, high-current power switching. The same records list a strategic collaboration with Efficient Power Conversion to develop and manufacture GaN-based power modules, using EPC's 350V EPC2050 eGaN FET.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
