39. Battery Mini-Breaker for Power Tool Battery Protection
Rohit is designing a Li-ion battery pack for a cordless power tool.
The pack uses a 5S configuration (18V nominal, 21V max charged) and can deliver up to 25A during heavy drilling.
To protect the pack from overtemperature and overcurrent, he needs a resettable thermal cutoff (battery mini-breaker) with high current and voltage ratings.
The device must trip at 90°C and reset automatically when the temperature drops to a safe level.
Key requirements:
Activation temperature: 90°C
Voltage rating: must cover 5S pack (max 21V)
Current rating: ≥30A (above 25A peak to avoid nuisance tripping)
Type: Breaker (resettable)
The company's AVL specifies Littelfuse, so the part must be selected from Littelfuse on DigiKey.
