Circuit protection has become a crucial design consideration to protect sensitive applications against overcurrent conditions. In most applications, overcurrent and overtemperature conditions are an ...

Every time a user plugs in, operates or leaves a system unattended, an overcurrent fuse should be there to ensure against circuit operation above a specified value. BRIAN AHEARNE, Product Line Manager ...

Many times choosing between using a Fuse or PTC is a matter of preference, though there are important considerations and common areas of applications where the use of one may be better than the other.

Bourns has added 20 Multifuse polymer PTC resettable fuses in 1206 packages to its circuit protection portfolio, the Model MF-NSMF series. The new higher power rated fuses provide expanded over ...

The Semifuse range of polymer re-settable PTC fuses has now been extended to include 10A-rated “strap” devices as well as 14A-rated leaded versions - suitable for use upto 20VDC. With a wide range of ...
