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.
