Resettable fuse protects latest AAAA NiMH cells
New from Raychem Circuit Protection, the MAC300 PolySwitch resettable fuse is custom designed for the new AAAA NiMH cells with increased capacity in a smaller space.
Their thin, flat form factor-only 0.35mm thick-adds no significant thickness to the pack, and does not encumber Li-Polymer pack design.
"The thin, low-profile form factor of this device yields a significant benefit for OEMs seeking to conserve space and reduce installation costs", said Frank Owen, Marketing Director for Raychem Circuit Protection.
Custom-designed samples of the Thin-Strap device are available in a variety of PolySwitch materials and ratings, accommodating a broad range of battery circuit protection applications.
Devices constructed of PolySwitch VLR material offer low resistance, enhanced thermal protection, fast time-to-trip, increased battery life and extended operation time.
Devices including VTP or LTP material also provide thermal protection with higher hold current capability than the VLR series.
