ProTek Devices Intros Overcurrent Protection PPTC Thermistors
ProTek Devices has added to its family of overcurrent protection devices with new surface-mountable poly-switch temperature coefficient thermistor (PPTC) devices that include the company's first resettable PPTC thermistors. The new components are suitable for circuit protection in many applications such as automotive, mobile device battery packs, computer motherboards, and more. The new components include the PMPS150-1812; PMPS150E-1206; PMPS200-1812; PMPS200D-1210; PMPS260C-1812; and PMPS380E-1206. These surface mount device (SMD) PPTCs are designed for overcurrent protection. Two series are also being introduced: the PLRO1206 and the PLRO1210, which are resettable SMD PPTCs for overcurrent protection.
