HCRTP-mini-B
Reflowable Thermal Protectors
Description
High Current Reflowable Thermal Protection Mini (HCRTP-MINI-B)
Device is a low-resistance, robust surface mountable thermal
protector. It has a set open temperature and can be installed using
reliable, lead-free, Surface Mount Device (SMD) assembly and
reflow processes.
The new HCRTP-MINI-B device, recently added to the RTP family,
can help withstand the demanding environmental, life and reliability
requirements of automotive and industrial applications, including
shock, vibration, temperature cycling and humidity exposures. In the
field, the HCRTP-MINI-B device opens if its internal junction exceeds
the device’s specified open temperature. Temperature increases
can have multiple sources, one of which is component failure (e.g.,
when using power components such as a powerFET, capacitor,
resistor, triac, etc.) The HCRTP-MINI-B device open temperature is
selected so that the device does not open within normal component
operating windows, but it does open in a thermal runaway event and
before the melt temperature of typical lead-free solders.
