PTC Resettable Fuses, commonly known as Polymeric Positive Temperature Coefficient (PPTC) fuses, provide a simple and efficient method of protecting circuits from over-current faults in items such as applications, consumer electronics and industrial equipment. The 0ZCG0020AF2C is a PTC Resettable Fuse, and provides reliable protection against overcurrent or short circuit faults.

The 0ZCG0020AF2C is an ideal choice of PTC fuse for applications such as lighting, radio receivers, mobile phone chargers and other health-care products that require overload protection. It is designed to withstand surges up to twice the rated current for a specified duration, allowing the fuse to protect up to the rated current without obstruction.

The primary benefit of the 0ZCG0020AF2C is that it can reset after overload events without having to wait for a manual reset. This prevents the device from being damaged by over-current events, which would otherwise require physical replacement. Furthermore, the mechanism is fail-safe, with a polymer material that expands when an over-current occurs to open the circuit and prevent further damage.

The working principle of the 0ZCG0020AF2C is simple yet efficient. It works by having a conducting polymer material that melts when a certain temperature is exceeded. This temperature is related to the current of the circuit, which means that the higher the current the higher the temperature, so when the current level goes above the rated maximum, the polymer melts and breaks the circuit.

The maximum temperature at which the 0ZCG0020AF2C operates is determined by the ambient temperature and the rated current of the circuit. As ambient temperature increases, the rated current must be adjusted to keep the temperature within acceptable limits. The current passes through a conducting polymer material that melts at a certain temperature; when the temperature increases, the current must decrease to prevent further melting.

Once the current has been reduced sufficiently to cool down the polymer, the conducting material reforms and the continuous circuit is established again. This cycle will then repeat as long as the circuit is subjected to over-current and high temperature events.

The 0ZCG0020AF2C is a valuable safety tool that helps protect circuits from dangerous over-current or short circuit events. The ability of the device to reset itself after a fault is especially useful in applications such as power supplies, health-care products and consumer electronics. The simple yet effective working principle of the fuse ensures that it will provide reliable protection for various applications.
