NANOSMD400LR-C-2 Circuit Protection

PTC Resettable Fuses are well-known for their reliable operation in electronics, automotive, and industrial applications. They are designed to provide over-current protection, and prevent catastrophic damage caused by short-circuits and other harmful forms of electrical interruption. The NANOSMD400LR-C-2 is the latest addition to the PTC resettable fuse family, and it offers users a high degree of protection in a small package.

The NANOSMD400LR-C-2 is a radial-lead resettable fuse that is specifically designed for medium- to high-current applications. It is capable of providing up to 2A of continuous current, with a maximum stop current of 4A. The tri-metal element features a fast-acting fuse response time of approximately 11 milli-seconds, creating an efficient and reliable current-limiting circuit.

The primary application field of the NANOSMD400LR-C-2 is in the field of power supplies, battery chargers, and other power management applications. It is also suitable for use in general-purpose electronic circuitry, such as solenoids, relays, and lighting systems. Its small physical footprint makes it ideal for use in small enclosures and confined spaces, as the resettable fuse does not require any additional space or mounting hardware.

The operating principle behind the NANOSMD400LR-C-2 is simple. When the current passes through the device, it heats up the tri-metal element, which then expands and pushes outward on the spring arms, breaking the electrical connection. This interrupts the current flow and prevents any further damage from occurring. Once the current is reduced to a safe level, the element contracts and the spring arms close, allowing the current to pass through again.

The use of PTC resettable fuses can provide an extra layer of safety and protection in a variety of applications, and the use of NANOSMD400LR-C-2 in particular can provide an ideal solution in areas where space is at a premium. With its high-current protection capabilities, fast response time, and small footprint, the NANOSMD400LR-C-2 is perfect for a variety of electronic devices and applications.
