Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Business Description and Basis of Presentation	Business Description and Basis of Presentation Description of Business The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, and cash flows of Sensata Technologies Holding N.V. ("Sensata Technologies N.V.") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, collectively referred to as the "Company," "Sensata," "we," "our," or "us." Sensata Technologies N.V. is incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands and conducts its operations through subsidiary companies that operate business and product development centers primarily in the United States (the "U.S."), the Netherlands, Belgium, China, Germany, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom (the "U.K."); and manufacturing operations primarily in China, Malaysia, Mexico, Bulgaria, Poland, France, Germany, the U.K., and the U.S. We organize our operations into two businesses, Performance Sensing and Sensing Solutions. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying financial information reflects all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim period results. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year, nor were those of the comparable periods in 2016 necessarily representative of those actually experienced for the full year 2016 . These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 . All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. All U.S. dollar and share amounts presented, except per share amounts, are stated in thousands, unless otherwise indicated. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods to conform to current period presentation.

New Accounting Standards

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
New Accounting Standards	New Accounting Standards In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) , which creates one Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic (FASB ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ) that replaces the current guidance found in FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition , and various other revenue accounting standards for specialized transactions and industries. FASB ASU No. 2014-09 outlines a comprehensive five-step revenue recognition model based on the principle that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. FASB ASU No. 2014-09 may be applied using either a full retrospective approach, under which all years included in the financial statements will be presented under the revised guidance, or a modified retrospective approach, under which financial statements will be prepared under the revised guidance for the year of adoption, but not for prior years. Under the latter method, entities will recognize a cumulative catch-up adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the effective date for contracts that still require performance by the entity. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of Effective Date, which defers the effective date of FASB ASU No. 2014-09 by one year. FASB ASU No. 2014-09 is now effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. We have developed an implementation plan to adopt this new guidance. As part of this plan, we are currently assessing the impact of the new guidance on our financial position and results of operations. Based on our procedures performed to date, nothing has come to our attention that would indicate that the adoption of FASB ASU No. 2014-09 will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. However, we will continue to evaluate this assessment in 2017. In addition, the adoption of FASB ASU No. 2014-09 requires new disclosures related to revenue recognition, which we are continuing to evaluate. We intend to adopt FASB ASU No. 2014-09 on January 1, 2018. We expect to utilize the modified retrospective transition method. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , which establishes new accounting and disclosure requirements for leases. FASB ASU No. 2016-02 requires lessees to classify most leases as either finance or operating leases and to initially recognize a lease liability and right-of-use asset. Entities may elect to account for certain short-term leases (with a term of 12 months or less) using a method similar to the current operating lease model. The statements of operations will include, for finance leases, separate recognition of interest on the lease liability and amortization of the right-of-use asset and for operating leases, a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term on a straight-line basis. At December 31, 2016, we were contractually obligated to make future payments of $69.8 million under our operating lease obligations in existence as of that date, primarily related to long-term facility leases. While we are in the early stages of our implementation process for FASB ASU No. 2016-02, and have not yet determined its impact on our consolidated financial statements, these leases would potentially be required to be presented on the balance sheet in accordance with the requirements of FASB ASU No. 2016-02. FASB ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. FASB ASU No. 2016-02 must be applied using a modified retrospective approach, which requires recognition and measurement of leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented, with certain practical expedients available.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measures	Fair Value Measures Our assets and liabilities recorded at fair value have been categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy in accordance with FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement . Measured on a Recurring Basis The following table presents information about our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fell: June 30, 2017 December 31, 2016 Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Assets Foreign currency forward contracts $ — $ 9,519 $ — $ — $ 32,757 $ — Commodity forward contracts — 3,477 — — 2,639 — Total $ — $ 12,996 $ — $ — $ 35,396 $ — Liabilities Foreign currency forward contracts $ — $ 22,463 $ — $ — $ 27,201 $ — Commodity forward contracts — 2,133 — — 3,790 — Total $ — $ 24,596 $ — $ — $ 30,991 $ — Measured on a Nonrecurring Basis We evaluated our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment as of October 1, 2016, and determined that these assets were not impaired. As of June 30, 2017 , no events or changes in circumstances occurred that would have triggered the need for an additional impairment review of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets. A long-lived asset, which includes Property, plant, and equipment ("PP&E"), is considered held for sale when it meets certain criteria described in FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment . A long-lived asset classified as held for sale is initially measured at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, and a loss is recognized for any initial adjustment of the asset's carrying amount to its fair value less cost to sell in the period the held for sale criteria are met. In the period that a long-lived asset is considered held for sale it is presented within Prepaid expenses and other current assets on our balance sheet where it remains until it is either sold or no longer meets the held for sale criteria. For comparative purposes, the prior year carrying amount of a long-lived asset considered held for sale is presented within Other assets on our consolidated balance sheet. In the six months ended June 30, 2017 , we determined that one of our facilities met the held for sale criteria in FASB ASC 360. Accordingly, we have recorded the held for sale asset at its fair value less costs to sell (which approximated its net carrying value) of $1.7 million and presented it in Prepaid expenses and other current assets. The fair value of assets held for sale is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement and is determined based on the use of appraisals, input from market participants, our experience selling similar assets, internally developed cash flow models, or a combination thereof. Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value The following table presents the carrying values and fair values of financial instruments not recorded at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 : June 30, 2017 December 31, 2016 Carrying Value (1) Fair Value Carrying Value (1) Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Liabilities Term Loan $ 927,794 $ — $ 934,753 $ — $ 937,794 $ — $ 942,483 $ — 4.875% Senior Notes $ 500,000 $ — $ 512,500 $ — $ 500,000 $ — $ 514,375 $ — 5.625% Senior Notes $ 400,000 $ — $ 430,000 $ — $ 400,000 $ — $ 417,752 $ — 5.0% Senior Notes $ 700,000 $ — $ 732,375 $ — $ 700,000 $ — $ 686,000 $ — 6.25% Senior Notes $ 750,000 $ — $ 817,500 $ — $ 750,000 $ — $ 786,098 $ — (1) Carrying value excludes discounts and deferred financing costs. The fair values of the Term Loan and senior notes are primarily determined using observable prices in markets where these instruments are generally not traded on a daily basis. Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable are carried at their cost, which approximates fair value, because of their short-term nature. In March 2016, we acquired $50.0 million of Series B Preferred Stock of Quanergy Systems, Inc. The fair value of this cost method investment as of June 30, 2017 has not been estimated, as there are no indicators of impairment, and it is not practicable to estimate its fair value due to the restricted marketability of this investment.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Hedges of Foreign Currency Risk We are exposed to fluctuations in various foreign currencies against our functional currency, the U.S. dollar. We use foreign currency forward agreements to manage this exposure. We currently have outstanding foreign currency forward contracts that qualify as cash flow hedges intended to offset the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on forecasted sales and certain manufacturing costs. We also have outstanding foreign currency forward contracts that are intended to preserve the economic value of foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities; these instruments are not designated for hedge accounting treatment in accordance with FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging . Foreign currency forward contracts not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage our exposure to foreign exchange movements. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the ineffective portion of the changes in the fair value of our foreign currency forward agreements that are designated as cash flow hedges was not material and no amounts were excluded from the assessment of effectiveness. As of June 30, 2017 , we estimate that $11.1 million of net losses will be reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings during the twelve-month period ending June 30, 2018 . As of June 30, 2017 , we had the following outstanding foreign currency forward contracts: Notional (in millions) Effective Date(s) Maturity Date(s) Index Weighted- Average Strike Rate Hedge Designation 46.0 EUR June 28, 2017 July 31, 2017 Euro to U.S. Dollar Exchange Rate 1.14 USD Not designated 441.0 EUR Various from April 2015 to June 2017 Various from July 2017 to May 2019 Euro to U.S. Dollar Exchange Rate 1.13 USD Designated 423.0 CNY June 27, 2017 July 31, 2017 U.S. Dollar to Chinese Renminbi Exchange Rate 6.86 CNY Not designated 264.0 CNY Various in February 2017 July 2017 to December 2017 U.S. Dollar to Chinese Renminbi Exchange Rate 7.03 CNY Designated 301.0 JPY June 28, 2017 July 31, 2017 U.S. Dollar to Japanese Yen Exchange Rate 111.93 JPY Not designated 474.0 JPY January 5, 2017 Various from July 2017 to December 2017 U.S. Dollar to Japanese Yen Exchange Rate 114.01 JPY Designated 49,521.6 KRW Various from April 2015 to June 2017 Various from July 2017 to May 2019 U.S. Dollar to Korean Won Exchange Rate 1,146.26 KRW Designated 53.5 MYR Various from April 2015 to November 2016 Various from July 2017 to October 2018 U.S. Dollar to Malaysian Ringgit Exchange Rate 4.19 MYR Designated 74.0 MXN June 28, 2017 July 31, 2017 U.S. Dollar to Mexican Peso Exchange Rate 17.99 MXN Not designated 2,152.1 MXN Various from April 2015 to June 2017 Various from July 2017 to May 2019 U.S. Dollar to Mexican Peso Exchange Rate 19.86 MXN Designated 54.7 GBP Various from April 2015 to June 2017 Various from July 2017 to May 2019 British Pound Sterling to U.S. Dollar Exchange Rate 1.35 USD Designated The notional amounts above represent the total quantities we have outstanding over the remaining contracted periods. Hedges of Commodity Risk Our objective in using commodity forward contracts is to offset a portion of our exposure to the potential change in prices associated with certain commodities used in the manufacturing of our products, including silver, gold, nickel, aluminum, copper, platinum, and palladium. The terms of these forward contracts fix the price at a future date for various notional amounts associated with these commodities. These instruments are not designated for hedge accounting treatment in accordance with FASB ASC 815. Commodity forward contracts not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage our exposure to commodity price movements. We had the following outstanding commodity forward contracts, none of which were designated as derivatives in qualifying hedging relationships, as of June 30, 2017 : Commodity Notional Remaining Contracted Periods Weighted-Average Strike Price Per Unit Silver 1,099,218 troy oz.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Reporting	Segment Reporting We organize our business into two reportable segments, Performance Sensing and Sensing Solutions, each of which is also an operating segment. Our operating segments are businesses that we manage as components of an enterprise, for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by our chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. An operating segment’s performance is primarily evaluated based on Segment profit, which excludes amortization expense, restructuring and special charges, and certain corporate costs/credits not associated with the operations of the segment, including share-based compensation expense and a portion of depreciation expense associated with assets recorded in connection with acquisitions. In addition, an operating segment’s performance excludes results from discontinued operations, if any. Corporate costs excluded from an operating segment’s performance are separately stated below and also include costs that are related to functional areas such as finance, information technology, legal, and human resources. We believe that Segment profit, as defined above, is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of our segments. However, this measure should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, profit from operations or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The accounting policies of each of our reporting segments are materially consistent with those in the summary of significant accounting policies as described in Note 2, "Significant Accounting Policies," included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 . The following table presents Net revenue and Segment profit for the reported segments and other operating results not allocated to the reported segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016: For the three months ended For the six months ended June 30, 2017 June 30, 2016 June 30, 2017 June 30, 2016 Net revenue: Performance Sensing $ 621,829 $ 615,570 $ 1,221,972 $ 1,212,745 Sensing Solutions 218,045 211,975 425,173 411,349 Total net revenue $ 839,874 $ 827,545 $ 1,647,145 $ 1,624,094 Segment profit (as defined above): Performance Sensing $ 169,100 $ 152,525 $ 320,836 $ 298,312 Sensing Solutions 70,101 68,175 137,539 131,423 Total segment profit 239,201 220,700 458,375 429,735 Corporate and other (52,585 ) (40,544 ) (99,302 ) (84,690 ) Amortization of intangible assets (41,003 ) (50,563 ) (81,261 ) (101,010 ) Restructuring and special charges (6,389 ) (1,475 ) (17,439 ) (2,330 ) Profit from operations 139,224 128,118 260,373 241,705 Interest expense, net (40,038 ) (41,757 ) (80,315 ) (84,025 ) Other, net (1,118 ) 130 4,078 5,618 Income before taxes $ 98,068 $ 86,491 $ 184,136 $ 163,298

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Net Income per Share	Net Income per Share Basic and diluted net income per share are calculated by dividing Net income by the number of basic and diluted weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding during the period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding for basic and diluted net income per share were as follows: For the three months ended For the six months ended June 30, June 30, June 30, June 30, Basic weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding 171,132 170,723 171,040 170,563 Dilutive effect of stock options 518 491 542 540 Dilutive effect of unvested restricted securities 270 129 331 196 Diluted weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding 171,920 171,343 171,913 171,299 Net income and net income per share are presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Certain potential ordinary shares were excluded from our calculation of diluted weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding because they would have had an anti-dilutive effect on net income per share or because they related to share-based awards that were contingently issuable, for which the contingency had not been satisfied. These potential ordinary shares are as follows: For the three months ended For the six months ended June 30, June 30, June 30, June 30, Anti-dilutive shares excluded 2,040 1,622 1,660 1,449 Contingently issuable shares excluded 947 736 732 581

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying financial information reflects all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim period results. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year, nor were those of the comparable periods in 2016 necessarily representative of those actually experienced for the full year 2016 . These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 . All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. All U.S. dollar and share amounts presented, except per share amounts, are stated in thousands, unless otherwise indicated.
Reclassification	Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods to conform to current period presentation
New Accounting Standards	New Accounting Standards In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) , which creates one Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic (FASB ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ) that replaces the current guidance found in FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition , and various other revenue accounting standards for specialized transactions and industries. FASB ASU No. 2014-09 outlines a comprehensive five-step revenue recognition model based on the principle that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. FASB ASU No. 2014-09 may be applied using either a full retrospective approach, under which all years included in the financial statements will be presented under the revised guidance, or a modified retrospective approach, under which financial statements will be prepared under the revised guidance for the year of adoption, but not for prior years. Under the latter method, entities will recognize a cumulative catch-up adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the effective date for contracts that still require performance by the entity. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of Effective Date, which defers the effective date of FASB ASU No. 2014-09 by one year. FASB ASU No. 2014-09 is now effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. We have developed an implementation plan to adopt this new guidance. As part of this plan, we are currently assessing the impact of the new guidance on our financial position and results of operations. Based on our procedures performed to date, nothing has come to our attention that would indicate that the adoption of FASB ASU No. 2014-09 will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. However, we will continue to evaluate this assessment in 2017. In addition, the adoption of FASB ASU No. 2014-09 requires new disclosures related to revenue recognition, which we are continuing to evaluate. We intend to adopt FASB ASU No. 2014-09 on January 1, 2018. We expect to utilize the modified retrospective transition method. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , which establishes new accounting and disclosure requirements for leases. FASB ASU No. 2016-02 requires lessees to classify most leases as either finance or operating leases and to initially recognize a lease liability and right-of-use asset. Entities may elect to account for certain short-term leases (with a term of 12 months or less) using a method similar to the current operating lease model. The statements of operations will include, for finance leases, separate recognition of interest on the lease liability and amortization of the right-of-use asset and for operating leases, a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term on a straight-line basis. At December 31, 2016, we were contractually obligated to make future payments of $69.8 million under our operating lease obligations in existence as of that date, primarily related to long-term facility leases. While we are in the early stages of our implementation process for FASB ASU No. 2016-02, and have not yet determined its impact on our consolidated financial statements, these leases would potentially be required to be presented on the balance sheet in accordance with the requirements of FASB ASU No. 2016-02. FASB ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. FASB ASU No. 2016-02 must be applied using a modified retrospective approach, which requires recognition and measurement of leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented, with certain practical expedients available.
