SHIELD_BTS50015-1TAD | The 12V protected switch shield for Arduino comes with BTS50015-1TAD, an ultra-low ohmic smart high-side power switch from Power PROFET™

Overview

Designed for relay and fuse replacement in power distribution and junction boxes, Power PROFET™ can drive resistive, capacitive and inductive loads (e.g. heating resistors, filter capacitors, motor, valves and pumps). The Power PROFET™ family targets high current applications (e.g. ECU power feeds, auxiliary power outlets, PTC heaters, rear windows heaters) and applications with high switching cycles and high energy requirements (e.g. "start-stop" systems, electric brake vacuum pumps).

Summary of Features

Stand alone and microcontroller mode.
Can be controlled with Arduino compatible microcontroller boards such as the XMC™ microcontroller kits from Infineon.
Easy to use “plug and play”.
Fully configurable for different kind of loads.

Benefits

Enables quick evaluation of Power PROFET™ for switching loads (BTS50015-1TAD: I _NOM = 33 A).
Fast prototyping for switching applications.

Potential Applications

Relay and fuse replacement in power distribution and junction boxes.
