MS321R036

These power thermistors are ruggedly constructed for long-lasting durability even in the most demanding high-power applications. These inrush current limiters are also used to regulate battery energy discharge in electric vehicles, as well as precharge circuits in a wide variety of battery charger types.

Applications

• Alternative Energy
• Electric Vehicles

Key features

• Handles steady-state currents up to 2 A and input energy up to 110 J
• Protects rectifiers and other downstream components from damage caused by inrush current spikes
• Enhances safety by eliminating fire hazards associated with relay failures
• Handles the same energy as power resistors in a smaller package, saving valuable board space
• Provides a simple single-component alternative to power resistors with timers and relays, reducing cost and greatly simplifying design
• UL-recognized MegaSurge™ device certification for single-phase and three-phase input voltages up to 480 VAC
