A family of snap-action thermal protectors in a plastic case. Offers both overcharge and short-circuit protection in rechargeable battery packs. Low internal resistance for maximum protection and minimal effect on battery pack performance. Designed to meet tighter space requirements of smaller battery packs.

Features

  • Conductive bimetal construction; the bimetallic element carries the circuit current for maximum current sensitivity under short circuit conditions.
  • Snap action device, quick make/quick break switching action.
  • Temperature differential between opening and closing may vary from 5° C to 35° C depending upon the no load calibration temperature.
  • Case is electrically isolated from the circuit.
  • Preset calibration temperature; not adjustable in the field.
  • Equipped with gold diffused, fine silver contacts for use on low voltage/low current applications.

Contact Ratings

  • 10 amps/12volts DC, 5,000 cycles*
  • 5 amps/24volts DC, 5,000 cycles

* Please consult our Sales Engineers for suggested contact ratings when applied to DC type loads.
