OHD Thermal Guard: Applications

Thermal Sensors
OHD Thermal Guard
Overview Applications
The OHD Thermal Guard is developed for thermal problem Typical applications include atmospheric temperature
countermeasures and safety standard conformity, which detection and overheating monitoring of power transistors,
are becoming increasingly important for electronic devices power modules, room heaters, hot gas heaters, PPCs,
in recent years. amplifiers, motors, HDDs, FDDs and other general
appliances.
Its unique proprietary design features a magnet and
a temperature-sensing soft ferromagnetic substance
called Thermorite®. The material’s magnetic flux density
decreases as the temperature increases turning it into a
paramagnetic substance at the Curie temperature.
Benefits
• High reliability for on/off operations • Compact, light and easy to handle
• High-speed response • Dust, explosion and corrosion-proof
• Long operational life • Wide range of operating temperatures available in 5°C
• Excellent environmental durability increments from +30°C to +130°C
• Compatibility with extremely low (0.1 mW or lower) • UL, CSA and TÜV approved
signals to high power (6 W) levels • RoHS/REACH compliant
• Extremely simple circuit design

Handling Precautions
Precautions to be taken when using Thermal Reed Switches
(Please read these precautions before using our products)
• Do NOT use in close proximity to strong magnetic parts.
• Do NOT use product under mechanical weight load.
• Do NOT use if dropped or severely shocked.
• Do NOT use with a greater load than specified.
• Avoid stress (especially torsion) in case of additional processing.
• Thermal guards have a specific resonance frequency. Please contact a KEMET representative if an oscillation is added.
• OHD1 and OHD5R are designed for printed circuit board insertion. OHD3 is reed wire soldered type.
Export Control
For customers in Japan
For products which are controlled items subject to the ”Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Law” of Japan, the export
license specified by the law is required for export.
For customers outside Japan

Thermal Sensors should not be used or sold for use in the development, production, stockpiling or utilization of any
conventional weapons or mass-destructive weapons (nuclear weapons, chemical or biological weapons, or missiles), or any
other weapons.
