Littelfuse is an industrial technology manufacturing company dedicated to powering a sustainable, connected and safer world.
TTape is ideal for a wide range of applications, including electric/hybrid vehicles, commercial vehicles and energy storage systems (ESS). Its distributed temperature monitoring feature provides sensitive detection of localised battery overheating, thereby extending battery life and improving the safety of battery installations.
Key benefits and features of TTape include:
Premature Battery Ageing Management: TTape helps vehicle systems manage premature battery ageing issues, significantly reducing the risks associated with thermal runaway.
Extended Battery Pack Life: TTape ensures that battery packs remain usable for longer by initiating temperature management at an early stage.
Efficient multi-cell monitoring: Multiple cells can be monitored using a single TTape device, alerting the BMS faster in the event of an over-temperature condition.
Ultra-fast response: With a response time of less than one second, TTape ensures faster alerts to possible thermal runaway conditions.
Seamless Integration: With no calibration required, TTape integrates easily with existing BMSs, making it the solution of choice for many battery applications.
In addition, TTape's ultra-thin design makes it ideal for conformal installation. Using a single MCU input, the distributed temperature monitoring feature greatly improves the detection of localised cell overheating. This approach enables effective cooling measures, extends battery life and significantly improves safety standards for battery installations.
"TTape is distinct from NTC and is a great addition to the Littelfuse product portfolio. The huge advantage of localised battery overheating detection ensures faster alerts to the BMS compared to traditional NTC setups." Tong Kiang Poo, Global Product Manager at Littelfuse, explains, "The TTape platform is a distributed temperature monitoring device for battery packs that helps improve detection of localised cell overheating. It eliminates the need for calibration or temperature look-up tables and seamlessly integrates with current BMS solutions and NTCs with a single MCU input to enhance the detection of battery overheating."
This breakthrough product continues Littelfuse's tradition of innovation. It leverages the company's research, design and development expertise in PPTCs to deliver a temperature monitoring solution that is highly anticipated by the industry.
With an emphasis on safety and efficiency, TTape promises to change the landscape of the lithium-ion battery pack market. As the industry as a whole rapidly moves toward more sustainable and safer energy solutions, products such as Littelfuse's TTape demonstrate the company's commitment to innovation and excellence.
In terms of availability, the TTape distributed temperature monitoring platform is available in tape-and-reel or boxed packaging, depending on the desired length. Samples are available through Littelfuse's authorised distributors worldwide.
