Power Switch Family Expands

The newest addition to Infineon's PROFET™+ family of power switches is the dual-channel, low-ohmic BTS5016-2EKA. It saves space and optimizes performance in automotive applications with high-currents and loads of up to 12 V. From lighting, heating, power distribution, to lifting systems and power supplies, you can replace relays, fuses, and discrete circuits with a single, streamlined unit.

Automatic diagnostics detect the smallest load-change which is important for LEDs. And because the automotive environment is harsh, the BTS5016-2EKA has built-in protection against short-circuits and static discharge. It lasts longer, and so does your system.

The BTS5016-2EKA operates on a low stand-by current with minimal power leakage, which means it is also environmentally friendly.
