Prior to mechanical activation, the new thermal fuse can be soldered on conventional reflow soldering machines with profiles up to 260°C. The new overtemperature protection device comes in a 6.6×8.8mm footprint and can handle operating currents of up to 130A and rated voltages of up to 60VDC. The shunt version has an integrated resistance with particularly low temperature dependence. This resistance, known as a shunt, enables precise current measurement and enables an additional – non-thermal – circuit protection, e.g. via a controller. In the event of a thermal runaway, the thermal fuse reliably interrupts the circuit at a precisely defined temperature as a fail-safe device.
