About this manual

The BTS 612 N1 is a smart two‑channel high‑side power switch that replaces electromechanical relays, fuses and discrete circuits. It offers overload protection, current limitation, over‑voltage and short‑circuit protection, thermal shutdown, reverse‑battery protection and diagnostic outputs.

The handbook lists detailed electrical parameters such as operating voltage 5.0‑34 V, on‑state resistance around 200 mΩ, input voltage range –10 V to +16 V, standby current 90‑150 µA and power dissipation up to 36 W. It also describes protection functions, truth tables, package dimensions (TO‑220AB/7) and ordering codes.
