Many major automotive manufacturers have already announced their plans to adopt NACS, the fast-charging standard for electric vehicles developed by Tesla.
In addition, there has recently been growing demand for shorter charging times even for normal charging using AC power, and as a result, development is underway to increase the output of on-board chargers (hereinafter referred to as OBCs).
In response, we have developed the “BX1,” a high-voltage, high-capacity on-board AC relay with a voltage rating of 3,000V (open-circuit) and a rated current of 60A, and began providing samples in April 2026. The “BX1” is the world’s smallest in its class(*1) and contributes to the miniaturization of OBCs.

In the rapidly evolving EV market, EM Devices will continue to quickly capture the latest trends and develop products that meet customer needs.
