Enhanced Protection for Next-Generation Wearables:
The Model NX series represents a significant advancement in thermal cutoff technology, specifically designed to safeguard lithium-ion batteries in:
- Next-Generation Wearables: Smartwatches, fitness trackers, and augmented reality glasses.
- Handheld Electronics: Smartphones and other portable devices.
- High-Energy-Density Batteries: Compact and powerful batteries for cutting-edge applications.
Key Features of the Model NX Series:
- Higher Current-Carrying Capability: The Model NX series boasts a 40% increase in current-carrying capacity compared to previous Bourns TCO offerings. This is achieved through innovative design advancements, including the utilization of high-conductivity electrode materials.
- Ultra-Compact Design: Despite its impressive current handling capabilities, the Model NX series maintains a remarkably low profile (0.94 mm height and 2.8 mm body width). This compact size empowers engineers to minimize the footprint of their wearable and handheld electronic designs.
- Superior Over-Temperature and Over-Current Protection: The Model NX series effectively safeguards batteries against overheating and excessive current surges, enhancing the overall reliability and safety of electronic devices.
- Wide Range of Trip Temperature Options: The series offers four selectable trip temperature options (77 °C, 82 °C, 85 °C, and 90 °C), catering to diverse application requirements. Each option operates within a tight ±5 °C tolerance for precise thermal protection.
- Welding Projection Flexibility: Designers have the option to choose between models with or without welding projections, providing greater flexibility during the integration process.
- Enhanced Corrosion Resistance: The Model NX series incorporates a high-rated corrosion-resistant bimetal mechanism, ensuring extended durability and reliable operation even in humid environments compared to standard TCO devices.
Benefits for Wearable Electronics Designers:
- Reduced Device Size: The compact design of the Model NX series allows for smaller and sleeker wearable devices.
- Improved Safety and Reliability: Enhanced thermal protection translates to more reliable and safer wearable electronics.
- Design Versatility: A wide range of trip temperature options and welding projection configurations cater to diverse design requirements.
- Durable Performance in Humid Environments: The Model NX series withstands challenging environmental conditions.
