PPTC series offers low internal resistance

The POLYFUSE LoRho Surface Mount Resettable PPTC series is designed for high-speed overcurrent protection for applications that need ultra-low resistance, ultra-low voltage drop and minimal power dissipation.  The device provides overcurrent protection against fault current surges by limiting electrical current. The device generates heat when a fault current flow through the device, causing the internal resistance to rapidly rise, limiting current flow to the circuit downstream to a safe level. The devices internal resistance drops back to normal state when the overcurrent condition passes.

Features include:

• Smallest footprint PPTC in the market, available in sizes as small as 0402 to save board space.
• Offer high design flexibility to design-in the most suitable device for the application.
• A very thin height profile makes the series suitable for use in compact portable electronics.
• Fast response to fault currents provides secure protection for sensitive electronic products.
• Resetting automatically, they provide a low maintenance alternative to one-time fuses for overcurrent protection.
• RoHS compliant, lead free, halogen free, and UL and TUV recognized, which ensures they are environmentally friendly and compliant with international safety standards.
• Compatible with high temperature solders to meet lead-free soldering requirements.

 

The POLYFUSE LoRho PPTC resistor series is available in quantities of 2,000 to 10,000 in standard tape and reel packaging. Contact company for pricing.
