Sensata Technologies Holding Plc

A maker of sensors, electrical protection, and power management gear, Sensata supplies the sensors and high-voltage protection inside cars, aircraft, defense systems, and industrial machines like HVAC and appliances for global manufacturers. Its roots reach back to 1916, when it began as a small Massachusetts firm plating gold for the local jewelry trade before joining Texas Instruments. Its name comes from the Latin for "those gifted with sense," and its logo is spelled out in Braille dots—a nod to the sense of touch behind its precision sensing.
