Mouser alerts buyers to the availability of a distributed temperature monitoring device designed to help protect li-ion battery packs in a wide range of applications.
Mouser Electronics is now shipping Littelfuse’s TTape distributed temperature monitoring device.
TTape is a distributed temperature monitoring platform tailored for li-ion battery packs found in automotive, consumer, electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles, industrial and energy storage and harvesting applications.
TTape is engineered to detect the slightest temperature variations across battery cells by providing real-time data to prevent potential thermal runaways, fires or explosions. The product is designed to detect these hotspots early, enabling timely intervention.
TTape offers over- temperature monitoring for multiple cells or large areas with a singular microcontroller input that can trigger the MCU to exit sleep mode during over-temperature events.
TTape is also compatible with existing battery management systems that utilise NTC thermistors, ensuring a seamless integration process without extensive modifications.
With a single TTape device, multiple cells can be monitored, thus alerting the BMS sooner in case of overtemperature scenarios. TTape does not require any calibration or temperature look-up tables and comes with a pressure-sensitive adhesive for simple and quick installation. With a response time of less than one second, TTape guarantees quicker alerts, signalling the potential onset of thermal runaway conditions.
