The ETQ-P3L features a rustproof structure for high humidity environments. The ETQ-P3L is also good for use at high switching frequencies, has low audible noise and is EU RoHS compliant. ( more info )

The rapidly expanding market for high-rate-discharge lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries used in applications such as cordless power tools, e-bikes and back-up power supplies has created the need for cost-effective circuit protection devices capable of providing 30A+ hold currents at voltage ratings over 30VDC. To meet this need, a new hybrid device has been developed that connects a bimetal protector in parallel with a PPTC (polymeric positive temperature coefficient) device. The resulting Metal Hybrid PPTC (MHP) device helps provide resettable overcurrent protection while also utilizing the low resistance of the PPTC device to help prevent arcing in the bimetal protector at higher currents.
