South Korea has emerged as a global powerhouse in the electric vehicle (EV) and battery sectors. With industry titans like Hyundai, Kia, LG Energy Solution, Samsung SDI, and SK On leading the charge, the demand for high-quality, reliable Manual Service Disconnect (MSD) components has never been higher. As these South Korean factories scale production to meet global demand, the integration of advanced safety protocols becomes paramount.
Manual Service Disconnects (MSDs) are critical safety components in high-voltage battery systems. In the South Korean context, where safety regulations like the Korea Automotive Technology Institute (KATECH) standards and KATS (Korean Agency for Technology and Standards) are strictly enforced, MSDs provide a physical break in the circuit to protect service technicians and emergency responders. Whether it's for a high-performance EV platform or a massive Energy Storage System (ESS) in Gyeonggi-do, the MSD is the ultimate fail-safe.
The industrial landscape in cities like Ulsan, Gwangju, and Daejeon is shifting towards "Industry 4.0" integration. South Korean factories are increasingly seeking MSD solutions that offer not just physical disconnection, but also integrated fuse protection, tool-free operation, and high-cycle durability. This is where Sanco's 25 years of expertise aligns perfectly with the rigorous demands of South Korean automotive engineering.
With 2700 employees, 4 factories, 200+ R&D engineers, Sanco is a national high-tech enterprise that integrates R&D design, manufacturing, sales service, and after-sales support for connectivity system products, dedicated to becoming a leader in the field of connection technologies and products.
We specialize in the R&D and manufacturing of electrical connection systems for automotive, rail transit, industrial, communication, and energy storage applications, such as: high-voltage connectors, MSDs, laminated busbars, injection-molded busbars, signal connectors, rectangular and circular connectors, CCS, and various precision components.



One of the most significant trends in the South Korean EV market, led by the E-GMP platform, is the transition to 800V electrical architectures. This allows for ultra-fast charging but necessitates MSDs with higher dielectric strength and superior thermal management. Sanco's MSD solutions are designed to handle these increased voltages while maintaining a compact footprint, essential for modern Korean vehicle designs.
Jeju Island is South Korea's testing ground for the future of green energy. With the highest density of EVs and wind farms in the country, the island relies heavily on massive Energy Storage Systems (ESS). Our Manual Service Disconnects are used in Jeju's ESS facilities to ensure that maintenance can be performed safely on high-capacity battery racks. The salty air and humid environment of Jeju also demand MSDs with high IP ratings (IP67/IP68), a standard feature in Sanco's ruggedized designs.
As the world's sixth busiest container port, Busan is leading the way in port electrification. Electric AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) and electric cranes are replacing diesel-powered machinery. These heavy-duty industrial vehicles require MSDs that can withstand high vibration and frequent cycling. Sanco's factory-grade MSDs, tested to rail-transit standards, provide the reliability needed for Busan's 24/7 logistics operations.
The synergy between Korean battery manufacturers and global Tier-1 suppliers is crucial. Sanco acts as a vital link in this supply chain, providing MSDs that meet the stringent Quality Management Systems (QMS) of South Korean automotive OEMs. From prototype production to mass assembly, our processes are optimized for the fast-paced "Pali-Pali" (hurry-hurry) culture of Korean business, ensuring rapid delivery without compromising on safety.
With four production bases spanning 27000㎡ and world-class precision machining.
