Circuit Protection Approach for High-Rate Discharge Li-Ion Battery Applications
Ty Bowman, Global Battery Market Manager
TE Circuit Protection, a Business Unit of TE Connectivity
In 2010, a metal hybrid PPTC (MHP) technology was introduced to address the rapidly expanding market for high-rate-discharge lithium ion (Li-Ion) battery applications. The MHP arc-less contact technology results in circuit protection devices capable of providing 30 A+ hold currents at voltage ratings over 30 VDC.
