Battery Mini-Breakers (Thermal Cutoff Devices)
Metal Hybrid PPTC > MHP Series
MHP-TAT18 Series Breaker
RoHS
Description
The new Metal Hybrid PPTC device, MHP-TAT18, offers a
9VDC rating and a higher current rating than typical MHPTAM devices. MHP-TAT18 helps to meet the battery safety
requirements of higher-capacity Lithium (Ion) Polymer and
prismatic batteries found in most mobile devices such as
laptop PC’s, tablets, and smart phones. MHP technology
connects a bimetal protector in parallel with a Polymeric
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PPTC) device. The PPTC
device to act as a heater and to help keep the bimetal
latched until the fault is removed. The resulting MHPTAT18 series helps to provide resettable overtemperature
protection.

Precautions for Electrical Characteristics:
a. Device electrical characteristics may change depending on installation conditions. Users should independently evaluate the suitability of and test each product in their own application.
b. If any terminal or lead extensions are added to the device, especially in the case of high current discharging, the device performance may be negatively impacted due to variations
in welding methods or materials. Please avoid designs that might cause heat to be generated around the joints of the lead extensions or on the extended terminals.
c. SMT solder reflow, wave-soldering and manual soldering irons are not permitted.

The current versus temperature curve was derived from placing test samples in an oven at
25°C, 40°C, 60°C, 65°C, and 70°C, increasing current flow through the sample at a rate of
0.1A/minute and recording the current value when the sample trips.

Precautions for Rating
a. The power supply voltage must be less than or equal to
the rated voltage of the device. Operation above the voltage
rating may result in device damage, smoke or flame.
b. Designs must be selected in such a manner that the
device hold current is higher than the normal current value in
the circuit. Selecting device hold current that is too low for
the application may interrupt the circuit under normal usage
conditions.
c. This product should not be used in an application where
the maximum short circuit current available exceeds the
rated maximum breaking current of the product.

d. The devices are intended for protection against damage
caused by occasional over current or over temperature fault
conditions and should not be used when repeated fault
conditions or prolonged trip events are anticipated.
e. The devices may not perform as specified if mechanical
pressure is added while the device is in the tripped state
or exposed to temperature conditions over 100°C or in
temperature conditions under -30°C.

Handling Precautions
a. The device is composed of plastic parts, please do not
clamp or dent the housing with a tool as this might cause a
resistance increase and product damage.
b. When welding product terminals or mounting the breaker
on battery (cell), please be careful not to apply excessive
bending, twisting or force on the product and terminals.
The excessive stress might cause a resistance increase or
product damage.
Please refer to following cautions.
• Do not apply more than 10N bend force to product.
(Fig. 1)
• Do not apply more than 1.5cN*m twist torque to the
product. (Fig. 2)
• Do not apply more than 20N deflection force to product.
(Fig. 3)
• Do not apply more than 2N force to the terminals.
(Fig. 4)
• Do not apply more than 0.6cN*m twisting torque to the
terminals. (Fig. 5)
• Do not bend the terminals more than 45° at the end.
(Fig. 6)
• Should not twist terminals more than 20°C with breaker
body fixed.
c. Product terminals can be welded using direct welding
and series welding methods. In either case, please use a
suitable Jig so that the device will not be subjected to the
stress conditions listed above.
d. Pull strength and detach strength of the terminal welds
are per user requirements. However, if the welding is
controlled by resistance, the measurement should be made
as close as possible to the weld point by a “4-point clip
method” using milliohm meter to ensure accuracy.
e. Please avoid putting the stress on the device, as listed
above, when a jig, fitting or additional welding process is
used. Please re-confirm the resistance value whenever a
new process is added.
