RTS Tripping Temperature > 175°C
Improved Protection of Power Semiconductors
• Protects power semiconductors from thermal runaway
• SMD reflow solderable up to 260 °C
• Tested for usage up to 60 V
• Integrated current measuring sensor (shunt)
Schurter RTS thermal fuse, successfully launched in 2018, gets a new variant with a tripping temperature of >175°C. The RTS is a particularly compact overtemperature protection device for power semiconductors in SMD technology for highest demands.
RTS stands for Reflowable Thermal Switch. It was developed to protect highly integrated power semiconductors from overheating. Prior to mechanical activation, the new thermal fuse can be soldered on conventional reflow soldering machines with profiles up to 260 °C.
Protection Against Thermal Runaway
Thermal runaway refers to the overheating of a power semiconductor due to a self-reinforcing, heat-producing process. One of the reasons is the trend towards increasing power density and miniaturization of electronic circuits. The RTS protects these power semiconductors against thermal runaway. In such an event, the thermal fuse acts as a fail-safe device and reliably interrupts the circuit from as early as 175 °C and thus addresses the operating temperatures of common power semiconductors even better.
Minimal Footprint
The new overtemperature protection device comes in the same minimal dimensions and maximum breaking capacity despite its additional shunt functionality. On its small 6.6 x 8.8 mm footprint the RTS can handle operating currents of up to 130 A and rated voltages of up to 60 VDC.
Integrated Current Measuring Sensor (Shunt)
The shunt version has an integrated resistance with particularly low temperature dependence. This resistance, known as a shunt, enables precise current measurement and enables an additional – non-thermal – circuit protection, e.g. via a controller.

Finder’s 7T Series multi-function thermo-hygrostat and thermostats are a must-have for panel and machine builders needing a space-saving solution to help detect and maintain optimal temperature and humidity within their control panels, particularly in changing environments.
Imperative for applications where the need to control temperature and humidity is vital, such as in drying kilns, road/tunnel lighting, industrial furnaces, refrigeration, and transportation, Finder’s 7T Series detects and maintains the correct humidity depending on ambient temperatures, all within a multi-functional, 35mm rail mounting (EN 60715), compact 17.5mm size.
With thermostat full-scale accuracy at -1…+3K, and hygrostat accuracy within 5%, and a nominal voltage of 110 … 240 V AC/DC, the combined unit of the Type 7T.51 is both space-saving and cost effective. It’s 1 NO 10 A contact allows for direct control of heaters and fans, without a separate modular contactor.
Maintaining constant temperatures in control panels and enclosures, the 7T Series thermostat suits the needs of both simple and sophisticated heating and ventilation systems. It features a snap action thermostatic bimetallic contact sensor and direct switching of heater loads up to 2500 V A and fan loads up to 130W.
Finder’s Type 7T.51 panel thermo hygrostat has a temperature range of +10…+60°C, and the Type 7T.81 thermostat has a temperature range options of -20…+40°C and +0…+40°C. All products protecting components within control panels ensuring long electrical life. The Type 7T.81.0.000.240x thermostat is for heating control, so should the panel temperature fall below the (minimum) set temperature the contact will close to call for heat. The contact will open when this set temperature is exceeded. tHE Type 7T.81.0.000.230x is for ventilation, so should the panel temperature exceed the (maximum) set temperature then the contact will close to call for cooling. The contact will open when the temperature falls below this set temperature.

• Prevents power semiconductors from thermal runaway
• Supports up to 60 VDC applications
• Reflow solderable at 260 °C
• Customer-specific version with shunt or overcurrent fuse
• Smallest dimensions
Schurter introduces its new RTS. The RTS is a particularly compact overtemperature protection device using advanced SMD technology. It is suited for the highest demands of protection in power semiconductors.
RTS stands for "Reflowable Thermal Switch". It was developed to protect highly integrated power semiconductors like MOSFETs, ICs, IGBTs, Triacs, SCRs, etc. from overheating. Before mechanical activation, the RTS can be mounted using conventional reflow soldering techniques with temperature profiles up to 260 °C.
Mechanical Activation
After having the RTS reflow soldered on a PCB, mechanical activation arms the RTS for tripping at 210 °C. This activation can be done manually or by fully automated means. In contrast to electrical activation, the RTS activation status is clearly and immediately visible to the installer. Furthermore, the third additional contact required for electrical activation is thereby eliminated.
Compact Dimensions, High Load Capacity
The new type of overtemperature protection shines with the smallest dimensions and highest load capacity. Operating currents up to 100 A at rated voltages of up to 60 VDC can be handled by the RTS, which is just 6.6 x 8.8 mm in size. Customer-specific variants are available with an integrated shunt or an additional overcurrent fuse. These further integrated functions are resulting in less space consumed on the printed circuit board. The Reflowable Thermal Switch meets the high reliability requirements of AEC-Q200 and MIL-STD.
Protection Against Thermal Runaway
Thermal runaway refers to the overheating of a power semiconductor due to a self-reinforcing, heat-producing process. The reasons for this are the ever increasing power density and the trend towards miniaturization of electronic circuits.
RTS protects power semiconductors not through a logic circuit but rather through basic laws of physics. In case of a thermal runaway, the RTS reliably interrupts the circuit precisely at the well-defined temperature.
Technical Data
• Rated Voltage 60 VDC
• Tripping temperature 210 °C
• Operating current up to 100 A

Finder's new thermostat, the type 1C.61, with adjustment sliders designed to respond to the need for practicality, simplicity and comfort in the control of room temperature.
Uniquely innovative, the 1C.61 is the first “touch slide” capable of combining the simplicity of a touch screen display with exclusive “guided programming”, with the ease of adjustment of the 24 linear sliders for temperature setting.
The size and design make it unique at only 17mm thick and it is finished in an attractive white cream and grey. The cover, with spring assisted opening and closing, offers protection to the sliders from dust and gives continuity to the aesthetic curves.
The backlit display features large font size and “Dynamic” icons, offering excellent legibility. However, despite the large display and backlight, the advanced electronics of the new 1C.61 cleverly limits the power consumption, extending battery life up to 2 years.
Simple but fully featured: The 1C.61 fully justifies this slogan, since by entering the “setup” an extensive range of advanced features and functionality can be programmed. For example, you can set the time of day to the nearest 15 minutes; the “day” function allows you to program any 1 of 3 modes (Off, Manual, Sliders) for each day of the week. It is possible to make the display show the temperature of an (optional) external sensor, or even make it the main controlling sensor.
Innovative functions can be “set” to fully block changes to the thermostat (under PIN control), protecting all parameters entered including the settings of the sliders. Alternatively, a simple lock against the effect of accidental or malicious touching of the display buttons can be selected. The possibility of calibration to align the display to the perceived temperature is also an option. A remote contact can be employed to alter the operation of the thermostat by forcing the output switch off manually or allowing it to follow the normal program. In case of difficulty the Reset function will restore all the factory settings, returning the product to “as purchased” state. Finally, the manual timer (or vacation) setting has been simplified by adopting the concept of a “calendar”, whereby setting the time and date of the return from holiday ensures the thermostat will automatically return to the conditions of automatic programmed temperature control.

Finder has introduced a series of microprocessor-based room thermostats providing a temperature setting resolution accuracy of 0.1ºC and advanced setting options to help reduce energy usage in residential and commercial environments.
Two new slimline thermostats are offered, each in a choice of grey or white housings: the 1T.31 provides LCD display and pushbutton temperature setting, while the 1T.41 provides LED indication and analogue dial temperature setting.
For both variants, selection of off, winter/heating and summer/cooling setting modes is very simple with either LCD display or blue/red colour coded LED indicators ensuring quick recognition of operating status.
A day/night selector enables temperatures to be set back by 3ºC to help further reduce energy consumption while maintaining a comfortable ambient environment. In addition, a +5ºC frost protection setting in the off mode helps protect against burst pipes.
Designed to be used together if required in the same building, both digital and analogue thermostats are presented in a consistent 18mm deep, IP20 rated housing for wall mounting. The thermostat supply voltage is provided by two AAA 1.5V batteries and the output contact is a 5A, 230VAC changeover relay.
