Battery Disconnect Unit (BDU) /
Power Distribution Unit (PDU)

Power Distribution Units (PDU) manage power capacity and functionality for critical network, server and data center equipment. Battery Disconnect Unit (BDU) sometimes used interchangeably for PDU with traction batteries on electric vehicles and their power trains are components needed for managing power distribution and protecting the electrical network. The PDU/BDU are custom designed by Eetrex utilizing the strengths of our Methode team including integrating connectors, busbar and molding for an efficient design. Our PDUs are designed to manage high voltage traction batteries with functionality that meets the exacting requirements of our customers.
