MOTOR PROTECTOR

As a world leader in automotive motor protection, Sensata Technologies has developed the smallest bimetal based protection available at the market today,

the 5AP. The 5AP is developed to operate in wide temperature and current ranges, while providing consistent performance characteristics and excellent

reliability. CAD-based design techniques combined with 6-Sigma supported manufacturing lines and the best quality control systems give this product

maximum safety and reliability. The 5AP operates as a sensi- tive power cut-out which is widely used in Window-Lifts, Adjuster-Motors, Door- Locks and

various other applications. One protector series covers a broad range of applications, thus providing the flexibility to customize a particular rating based

on the specific requirements of universal applications. But let’s find out what really makes the 5AP perform its job as it does: the Sensata Klixon® control.

The Klixon® disc is made of a combination of different metals with a predetermined calibration point. When heated, one of

the metals expands more than the other, causing the disc to snap. As a world leader in bimetal technology and bimetal-based

devices, Sensata Technologies has set its goals of constant improvement and maximum reliability during years of operation

and thousands of cycles.

The 5AP is manufactured on fully automatic equipment, custom designed to meet the various requirements of today’s

Introduction

Key Benefits

• Thermal motor protection reacting to both current and temperature

• Wide variety of standard thermal configurations

• Terminal materal provides trouble-free welding

• Eligible for customer partnumber printed on product as well as col-

or-coding

• Varying of both bimetal and S-wire resistivity creates a current-time

characteristic optimized for each specific application

• Unique combination of bimetal disc and resistivity wire guarantees very

precise tripping times thus prevents too high motor temperature

• Protector selection and application testing by Sensata Technologies
