Problem
How can battery fires and thermal runaway in EV packs be prevented?
Solution
Applicator including a housing; a sensor carrier coupled to the housing, and including a first lock interface; a sheath, slidably coupled to the housing, the sheath including a first lock arm having an attached distal end and a free proximal end, the free proximal end including a first lock arm interface disposed on an inner surface of the first lock arm and a first sharp edge disposed on an outer surface of the first lock arm; and a cap threadably coupled to the housing, the cap including an inner surface having a first plurality of crush ribs.
Key novelty
The inner surface of the cap is configured to urge the first lock arm inwardly such that the first lock arm interface engages the first lock interface; and the first sharp edge is configured to engage the first plurality of crush ribs during a shock event.
