ALPS Electric Co., Ltd. (Tokyo: 6770; President: Nihiro Kuriyama, Head Office: Tokyo (hereinafter referred to as Alps Electric) has developed the dual output brake pedal position sensor "RD1030211", and has started mass production.

In 2017, the number of electric vehicles (EVs), plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHVs) and fuel cell vehicles globally hit a record high of 3.1 million. In addition, mainly in China, where the business is rapidly developing, the popularization of EV will be further developed in the future.

These next-generation cars use regenerative braking systems that convert the rotational force of the wheels when decelerating into driving power. In order to effectively generate such regenerative braking, the information of the pedal pedal tread becomes very important. However, the previous single output model cannot simultaneously output the electric energy of the brake lamp, which leads to great inconvenience in the design of the whole machine manufacturer.

In this context, Alps Electric developed the dual output brake pedal position sensor "RD1030211" for the Chinese market. At the same time, the brake light can be lighted and the output voltage of the regenerative brake system can make a contribution to the miniaturization design of the new generation of automobiles.

In addition, this product follows the previous single output products have won a good reputation in the analog testing method. Because this method is in the electronic form of calibration to handle the installation of the position of the dislocation, so no physical position adjustment required for switch detection type products, reduce the burden of installation.

In addition, the previous products of this product have accumulated a market performance of 70 million units since 2003. By expanding its dual output product, Alps Electric has contributed to the popularization of a new generation of vehicles.

※ For all kinds of brake control output tread information, does not belong to the functional safety (ISO26262) object scope.
