Battery strap resettable fuses

24 April 2002 Circuit & System Protection

Bourns is offering Multifuse polymeric positive temperature coefficient (PPTC) strap components designed to enhance the safety and performance of rechargeable battery packs. The Multifuse product line offers battery pack manufacturers a reliable and cost effective method of protecting the battery pack from external shorts and abusive charging.

The MF-SVS product family offers pack designers and manufacturers a strap device with a typical initial resistance as low as 14 mOhm, providing an immediate minimum increase in talk time capacity of up to 6%. A key advantage of this product is that it is designed to trip at the optimum switching temperature of 85°C, protecting lithium or Ni-MH chemistry cells from overheating and ensuring not only that the pack is more than adequately protected, but that it does not suffer from nuisance switching. The MF-SVS family is now available with a width as narrow as 3,6 mm for slim designs.

The MF-VSN for ultra-slim products such as the new generation Li-ion prismatic cells. The VSN products are rated to a maximum voltage of 12 V, maximum current of 100 A and consists of two main devices: the MF-VS210N designed for GSM battery packs, and the MF-VS170N designed for lower pulse current applications, both with a maximum width of 3,6 mm.

The MF-VS family has been designed for the protection of battery packs rated with a maximum voltage of 16 V and a maximum current of 100 A. A hold current of 2,4 A makes the product family ideal for use inside battery packs designed for PDAs, portable computers and cellphones. Resistance is as low as 20 mOhm.
