Plastic enclosure thermal protector V, VA

snap-action

A family of snap-action thermal protectors in an electrically isolated plastic case. Offers both overcharge and short-circuit protection in rechargeable battery packs. Low internal resistance for maximum protection and minimal effect on battery pack performance. Designed to meet tighter space requirements of smaller battery packs. Features ________________________________________ •Conductive bimetal construction; the bimetallic element carries the circuit current for maximum current sensitivity under short circuit conditions. •Snap action device, quick make/quick break switching action. •Temperature differential between opening and closing may vary from 5°C to 35°C depending upon the no load calibration temperature. •Case is electrically isolated from the circuit. •Preset calibration temperature; not adjustable in the field. •Equipped with gold diffused, fine silver contacts for use on low voltage/low current applications. Contact Ratings ________________________________________ •10 amps 12 VDC •5 amps 24 VDC Calibration Range ________________________________________ •Available with nominal calibration temperatures from 50°C to 100°C. •Reset temperature greater than 35°C
