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

Littelfuse, Inc. has released a new series of polymeric positive temperature coefficient (PPTC) devices, also called resettable fuses, to protect ever-shrinking mobile and wearable devices. The ...

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 ...

Sensata launches FaultBreak contactor, a high voltage switching and protection solution improving safety, fault clearing, and ...

This design idea describes a resettable high-speed fuse that uses only a few off-the-shelf parts, resets itself after blowing, and doesn't require a special current-sense resistor. While the circuit ...

One can 3D print with conductive filament, and therefore plausibly create passive components like resistors. But what about active components, which typically require semiconductors? Researchers at ...

Designed to protect against electrical overloads and short circuits, Bel 0ZAF resettable fuses provide circuit protection for a variety of applications in the IoT, industrial, and medical sectors.

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 ...

If you’re an experienced hacker, you’ve probably run into a problem at some point and thought “let’s make a tool to automate that”. A few hours later you’ve got your tool, but then realize that the ...
