Thermtrol Battery Protectors

Thermtrol’s TC100 Series is designed specifically for over temperature and short circuit protection in battery pack applications. The TC100 functions by detecting elevated heat and over-current in the battery pack and breaks the electrical circuit at the TC100’s pre-selected temperature set point. With a variety of termination styles, internal resistivity values for varying the current sensitivity, and a large range of nominal temperature settings, the TC100 is the device for your battery pack protection requirements. In ap- plications where a one-shot thermal cutoff fuse or multiple redundancies are required in addition to a bimetal limit protector, please ask Thermtrol about supplying your entire system protection needs.
