Model V
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.
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
Standard Marking System
UL Recognitions
CSA Certifications
- 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.
Appliance Applications
Many of our thermostats are used in what we
consider as “small” or personal care appliance applications. Models listed
under this section have maximum contact ratings of up to 20 amps/120 volts AC
and 10 amps/240 AC. All current loads are resistive.
Battery Pack Applications
This application group refers to
rechargeable battery packs for all portable power applications. The thermal
controls for this group either controls the charge rate of the battery packs or
limits the current under short circuit conditions.
Medical Equipment Applications
This application group refers to
rechargeable battery packs for all portable power applications. The thermal controls
for this group either controls the charge rate of the battery packs or limits
the current under short circuit conditions.
Motor Applications
This category covers the use of our thermal
controls in all types of motor applications. Our devices are used in AC and DC
motors that range from sub-fractional HP and above.
Lighting Applications
This category covers use of our thermal
controls in all type of lighting applications. This includes ballasts, recessed
lights, and transformers used in all types of lighting.
Temperature Sensor Applications
This category covers a wide variety of
applications. Our controls are used to either monitor the temperature of a
device, regulate the temperature of a device, or limit the temperature of a
device. The thermal control usually does not carry the full current load in
these applications.
Heater Applications
This group includes applications such as
cartridge heaters, disc-type heaters, foil and silicone heaters. These are
generally OEM products that are part of the “Bigger Picture,” rather than
stand-alone items.
Heating Pads and Blankets
We define this application group as end
products that the primary design function is to provide generation of heat for
comfort purposes. Heating Pads and Blankets fall into this category. Our
thermal controls are used to limit or regulate the temperature of these
applications.
Electronics Applications
This category consists of variety of
applications. Most of our thermal controls used in these applications protect
an overheat condition of a circuit board.
Transportation Applications
The thermal controls used for this
application group consist of use of our products by automotive manufacturers,
their subcontractors, or in aftermarket applications designed for use in motor
vehicles.
Transformer Applications
Thermal controls in this category are used
for the protection of the primary or secondary of a transformer coil or power supply.
These controls normally operate on a combination of the increase in temperature
and current in the application.
