Integrated circuits (ICs) for HVAC, ABS, power steering, and body control systems in passenger vehicles require thermal overload protection. This need has grown as cars and trucks operate in ever-harsher environmental conditions. AEC-Q200–qualified High Current Reflowable Thermal Protectors (HCRTPs) from Littelfuse meet the demand. The compact thermal protection devices take their name from mounting on the surface of ICs via a secure reflow soldering process. Most importantly, HCRTPs typically open when the operating temperature exceeds 220 ℃, thereby protecting essential electrical components from thermal damage.
