Industry’s first reflowable thermal protection device replaces power FETs

Presented as the industry’s first surface-mountable reflowable thermal protection device, the RTP200R120SA (RTP200) can be used to replace redundant power FETs, relays, and heavy heat sinks. The first device in the RTP product family, the RTP200 can withstand multiple reflow passes with peak temperatures exceeding 200°C, and will also open when it detects temperatures above 200°C.
