ITV9550 battery protector series is upgraded to 60A for robotics
To prevent battery pack damage for robotic appliances, power tools and other consumer electronics applications, Littelfuse has extended its ITV surface mountable Li-ion battery protector series to include a 60A version. The fuses safeguard battery packs against over-current and over-charging (over-voltage) conditions.
The ITV9550 series provides a 60A, three-terminal fuse in a 9.5 x 5.0mm footprint. The design incorporates an embedded fuse and heater elements that provide fast response and reliable performance to interrupt the battery pack’s charging or discharging circuit before an over-charge or over-heating condition occurs. When an over-current condition occurs, the embedded three-terminal fuse cuts off the circuit. The heater element, embedded directly under the fuse element, generates enough heat to blow the fuse once overcharging is detected by either an IC or a FET.
In addition to robotics and power tools, the ITV9550 battery protector can be used in e-bikes and e-scooters, emergency radios and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS).
The ITV9550 prevents battery pack damage caused by over-current and over-charging via fast response time and low internal resistance. It is also claimed to simplify automated PCB assembly with its surface-mount design.
It is also UL and TUV certified to help secure approvals with industry compliance requirements.
The environmentally friendly component is halogen-free and RoHS-compliant.
The ITV9550 is available in tape and reel format in quantities of 5,000 through authorised Littelfuse distributors worldwide.
