RESETTABLE CIRCUIT PROTECTION
When it comes to Polymeric Positive Temperature Coefficient (PPTC) circuit protection, you now have a choice.
Polymeric fuses are made from a conductive plastic formed into thin sheets, with electrodes attached to either side. The conductive plastic is manufactured from a non–conductive crystalline polymer and a highly conductive carbon balck. The electrodes ensure even distribution of power through the device, and provide a surface for leads to be attached or for custom mounting.
The phenomenon that allows conductive plastic materials to be used for resettable overcurrent protection devices is that they exhibit a very large non–linear Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) effect when heated. PTC is a characteristic that many materials exhibit whereby resistance increases with temperature. What makes the polymeric conductive plastic material unique is the magnitude of its resistance increase. At a specific transition temperature, the increase is resistance is so great that it is typically expressed on a log scale.APPLICATIONS
The benefits of polymeric Resettable Overcurrent Protectors are being recognized by more and more design engineers, and new applications are being discovered every day.
