Littelfuse setP Temperature Indicators, Available First from Mouser, Offer Overtemperature Protection to USB Type-C Plugs

November 20, 2018 – Mouser Electronics, Inc., the authorized global distributor with the newest semiconductors and electronic components, is the first to stock setP™ temperature indicators from Littelfuse. Designed for the expanding USB Type-C market, setP surface mount temperature indicators help protect against overheating inUSB Type-C plugs and chargers with captive Type-C cables.

        Littelfuse setP temperature indicators, available first from Mouser Electronics, help protect USB Type-C plugs from overheating, combining overcurrent and over temperature protection into a single package. Consolidating these protection technologies replaces the need to use both current limiting switches and PPTC devices.

        Available in a compact, 2.0 mm × 1.2 mm (0805) SMD package, setP temperature indicators are a discrete solution that is independent of power, featuring a sensitive sensing temp of 100 degrees C. The SMD setP series offers an easy drop-in solution to existing designs, protecting systems with power 100 W or higher without contributing to IR loss.

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
