LoRho SMD PTC for Charging Cable Protection
Description
The Littelfuse LoRho SMD PTC for Charging Cables
provides protection from heat generated due to faults
within the connector such as USB-C, microUSB, and
many others.
As connectors get smaller, their pin-to-pin spacings are
shrinking which increases the opportunity for debris such
as dust, dirt, or water to collect causing a fault. These
faults can generate a tremendous amount of heat which
will damage charging cables, the devices they charge, or
people using them.

TCO and Pd Testing Method:
Thermal Cut-Off Test–
1. Put the device into the thermostatic chamber controlled at room temperature or 25°C.
2. Apply the specified current to the device, and increase the chamber temperature at the
rate of 2°C per minute.
3. Measure the device ambient temperature when the applied current has reduced to less
than 20% of initial value.
Power Dissipation–
1. Conduct thermal cut-off test at rated current/voltage.
2. After device trip, decrease the chamber temperature with keeping trip state.
3. Measure the tripped-state power dissipation when the device ambient temperature has
reduced to 30°C or less.

Installation and Handling Guidelines
• Operation of these devices beyond the stated maximum
ratings could result in damage to the devices and lead to
electrical arcing and/or fire.
• These devices are intended to protect against the effects
of temporary over-current or over-temperature conditions
and are not intended to perform as protective devices
where such conditions are expected to be repetitive or
prolonged in duration.
• Exposure to silicon-based oils, solvents, electrolytes,
acids, and similar materials can adversely affect the
performance of these PPTC devices.
• These devices undergo thermal expansion under fault
conditions, and thus shall be provided with adequate
space and be protected against mechanical stresses.
• Circuits with inductance may generate a voltage (L di/dt)
above the rated voltage of the PPTC device.
• Hand-soldering of PTC devices on boards is generally not
recommended. Users shall define and verify this process
if needed.
• Consult Littelfuse when the device is to be applied
with thermal processes other than reflow process on
the circuit board, such as molding, encapsulation. User
should evaluate molding materials used in the charging
cable applications to ensure there are no adverse effect
on the PTC devices.
