New at Mouser: Littelfuse's TTape Distributed Temperature Monitoring Device for Automotive, EVs/HEVs, Industrial, and Energy Storage Applications
August 22, 2024 – Mouser Electronics, Inc., the authorized global distributor with the newest electronic components and industrial automation products, is now shipping the TTape™ distributed temperature monitoring device (DTMD) from Littelfuse. TTape is a state-of-the-art distributed temperature monitoring platform tailored for Li-ion battery packs found in automotive, consumer, electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles (EV/HEV), industrial and energy storage and harvesting applications.
Littelfuse TTape, available from Mouser, is engineered to detect the slightest temperature variations across battery cells by providing real-time data to prevent potential thermal runaways, fires or explosions. Littelfuse's TTape 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 (MCU) input that can trigger the MCU to exit sleep mode during over-temperature events. TTape is also compatible with existing battery management systems (BMSs) that utilize 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. And, with a response time of less than one second, TTape guarantees quicker alerts, signaling the potential onset of thermal runaway conditions.
