Littelfuse Littelfuse MHP Battery Mini-Breakers
MHP-TAC Series
The new Metal Hybrid PPTC device, MHP-TAC, offers higher voltage rating (12VDC) and smaller size than typical MHP-TAM devices. MHP-TAC helps to meet the battery safety requirements of higher-capacity Lithium (Ion) Polymer and Prismatic batteries found in most mobile devices such as laptop PC’s, tablets, and smart phones.
MHP-TAT18 Series
The new MHP Metal Hybrid PPTC device, MHP-TAT18, offers a 9VDC rating and a higher current rating than typical MHP-TAM device. This helps to meet the battery safety requirements of higher-capacity LiP and prismatic batteries found in the latest gaming PC and ultra-book products. Hybrid MHP technology connects a bimetal protector in parallel with a Polymeric Positive Temperature Coefficient (PPTC) device. The resulting MHP-TAT18 (Thermal Activation) series helps to provide resettable overtemperature protection, while utilizing the PPTC device to act as a heater and to help keep the bimetal latched until the fault is removed.
