Littelfuse announced the extension of its ITV9550 surface-mountable lithium-ion (li-ion) battery protector series. These fuses safeguard battery packs against overcurrent and overcharging (overvoltage) conditions.
The latest ITV9550 addition provides a 60 amp, three-terminal fuse in a 9.5-by-5.0-mm footprint. The innovative 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 overcharge or overheating condition occurs.
