Installation Guidelines for the Strap Family
■ PPTC devices operate by thermal expansion of the conductive
polymer. If devices are placed under pressure or installed in
spaces that would prevent thermal expansion, they may not
properly protect against damage caused by fault conditions.
Designs must be selected in such a manner that adequate
space is maintained over the life of the product.
■ PPTC strap devices are intended to be resistance welded
to battery cells or to pack interconnect straps, yet some
precautions must be taken when doing so. In order for the PPTC
device to exhibit its specified performance, weld placement
should be a minimum of 2mm from the edge of the PPTC
device, weld splatter must not touch the PPTC device, and
welding conditions must not heat the PPTC device above its
maximum operating temperature.
■ Twisting, bending, or placing the PPTC device in tension will
decrease the ability of the device to protect against damage
caused by electrical faults. No residual force should remain on
device after installation. Mechanical damage to the PPTC device
may affect device performance and should be avoided.
■ PPTC strap devices are not intended for applications where
reflow onto flex circuits or rigid circuit boards is required.
■ The polyester tape on PPTC strap devices is intended for
marking and identification purposes only, not for electrical
insulation.
■ Chemical contamination of PPTC devices should be avoided.
Certain greases, solvents, hydraulic fluids, fuels, industrial
cleaning agents, volatile components of adhesives, silicones,
and electrolytes can have an adverse effect on device
performance.
