PolySwitch Resettable Devices
Strap Battery Devices
Tyco Electronics, a pioneer of polymeric positive
temperature coefficient resettable devices, has developed
several material platforms to help protect battery
applications. Each of these material platforms offers
different performance characteristics, allowing the
engineer greater design flexibility. PolySwitch devices
for battery protection include SRP, LTP, LR4, VTP, VLP,
VLR and MXP series, disc, and special application strap
devices.
Benefits
• Many material platforms and device form factors
give engineers more design flexibility
• Compatible with high-volume electronics assembly
• Assists in meeting regulatory requirements
• Low resistance devices increase battery operating
time
Features
• RoHS compliant
• Lead free versions of all devices are available
• Broad range of resettable devices available
• Current ratings from 0.7A to 13A
• Voltage ratings from 6V to 30V
• Agency recognition, UL, CSA, TÜV
• Fast time-to-trip
• Low resistance
10
Applications
• Mobile phone battery packs
• Cordless phone battery packs
• Mobile radio battery packs
• Computer battery packs
• Camcorder battery packs
• Portable music player battery packs
• Power tools (charge line)
