LoRho SMD PTC for Charging Cable Protection
Description
The Littelfuse LoRho SMD PTC for Charging Cables
provides protection from heat generated due to faults
within the connector such as USB-C, microUSB, and
many others.
As connectors get smaller, their pin-to-pin spacings are
shrinking which increases the opportunity for debris such
as dust, dirt, or water to collect causing a fault. These
faults can generate heat which may damage charging
cables, the devices they charge, or the people using them.

Notes:
TCO and PdTesting Method:
1. Ihold = Hold current: maximum current device will pass without tripping in 20°C still air
Thermal Cut-OffTest–
2. Vmax = Maximum voltage device can withstand without damage at rated current (Imax
3. Pd = Power dissipated from device when in the tripped state at 20°C still air
4. Rmin = Minimum resistance of device in initial (un-soldered) state
5. R1max = Maximum resistance of device at 20°C measured one hour after tripping or
reflow Soldering of 260°C for 20 seconds
)
1. Put the device into the thermostatic chamber controlled at room temperature or 25°C.
2. Apply the specified current to the device, and increase the chamber temperature at the
rate of 2°C per minute.
3. Measure the device ambient temperature when the applied current has reduced to less
than 20% of initial value.
(Values specified were determined using PCBs with 0.115in x 1.0in ounce copper traces)
Power Dissipation–
1. Conduct thermal cut-off test at rated current/voltage.
2. After device trip, decrease the chamber temperature with keeping trip state.
3. Measure the tripped-state power dissipation when the device ambient temperature has
reduced to 30°C or less.
Caution: Operation beyond the specified rating may result in damage and possible arcing
and flame
