Reflowable thermal switch trips at 210 C, handles up to 100 A
SCHURTER introduces its new Reflowable Thermal Switch (RTS), a particularly compact device for thermal protection. Due to their inherent self-reinforcing heat-producing behaviour, power semiconductors such as MOSFETs, ICs, IGBTs, TRIACs, SCRs, etc. can overheat and lead to thermal runaway. The RTS is designed to protect against such overheating, reliably interrupting the circuit precisely at a pre-defined […]
