Benefits Features
Applications
The rapidly expanding market for ultra-thin portable
electronic devices, such as media tablets and ultra-thin
PCs, has created demand for very thin, low-profile, light-
weight and high-capacity Lithium Polymer (LiP) and
prismatic cells.
A new MHP (Metal Hybrid PPTC) device, the MHP-TA
device, offers a 9VDC rating and a higher current rating
than typical battery strap devices. This helps them meet
the battery safety requirements of higher-capacity LiP
and prismatic batteries found in the latest tablet and
ultra-thin computing products. Hybrid MHP technology
connects a bimetal protector in parallel with a PPTC
(polymeric positive temperature coefficient) device.
The resulting MHP-TA (Thermal Activation) series helps
provide resettable overtemperature protection, while
utilizing the PPTC device to act as a heater and to help
keep the bimetal latched until the fault is removed.

Humidity: 75%RH (max)
The following environments should be avoided for storage:
Areas with salt air or with corrosive gas, such as Cl2, H2S, NH3, SO2 and NOx.
Areas exposed to direct sunlight.
Areas outside of the suggested storage temperature range, as indicated above.
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.
When welding product terminals or mounting the breaker on a 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:
1. Do not apply more than 10N bend force to product. (Fig. M3)
2. Do not apply more than 1.5cN/m twist torque to the product. (Fig. M4)
3. Do not apply more than 20N deflection force to product. (Fig. M5)
4. Do not apply more than 2N force to the terminals. (Fig. M6)
5. Do not apply more than 0.6cN/m twisting torque to the terminals. (Fig. M7)
6. Do not bend the terminal base more than 20° when the product is mounted in a fixed position. (Fig. M8)
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.
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.
Avoid putting stress on the device, as listed above, when a jig, fitting or additional welding process is used. Please reconfirm the resistance
value whenever a new process is added.

Special Recommendations:
1. The power supply voltage must be less than the rated voltage of the device. Operation above the voltage rating may result in device
damage, smoking or flame.
2. Designs must be selected in such a manner that the device hold current is higher than the normal current value in the circuit and that the
device trip current is lower than the abnormal current value. Selecting device hold current and trip current values that are too low for the
application may interrupt the circuit under normal usage conditions.
3. This product should not be used in an application where the maximum interrupt current can be exceeded in a short circuit condition.
4. The devices are intended for protection against damage caused by occasional overcurrent or overtemperature fault conditions and should
not be used when repeated fault conditions or prolonged trip events are anticipated.
5. 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 lower than -30˚C or over 100˚C.
