PTC resettable fuses are a relatively new and highly advanced type of electronic fuses. They are used in a wide range of electronic and electrical devices, from the most advanced aerospace applications to consumer safety products. The fuses incorporate a polymeric positive temperature coefficient (PTC) device fused in series with a standard fuse element and can be compared to a fuse-breaker combination. The PTC resettable fuse comprises of two layers – an upper layer of polymeric positive temperature coefficient (PTC) material and a lower layer of an appropriate base metal, usually silver. The PTC layer serves as the primary danger device, while the fuse element provides additional protection.

PTC Resettable Fuses, such as PFMF.110.16.2, offer the user some unique advantages. The first advantage is the ability to reset the fuse after it has tripped, ensuring that the circuit is restored to its original condition. This eliminates the need for manual intervention and reduces downtime due to fuse replacement. A second advantage of the PTC resettable fuses is their resistance to inrush current, which can cause traditional fuses to trip prematurely. The fuse element, which is used in conjunction with the PTC material, helps to limit the maximum current that can pass through the fuse, offering increased protection against power surges.

The working principle of PFMF.110.16.2 is based on the characteristics of the PTC material. This material is designed to act as a high resistance when an overload current is applied to it. The increased resistance of the PTC material reduces the amount of current flowing through the circuit, thus protecting it from further damage. This feature is known as positive temperature coefficient, or PTC. Once the overload has been removed, the PTC material returns to its original low-resistance state and the circuit is able to resume its normal operation.

In addition to protection against overloads, PFMF.110.16.2 also offers protection against short circuits. The fuse element in series with the PTC material limits the maximum amount of current that can pass through the circuit and serves as a manual switch for the circuit. When a short circuit occurs, the fuse element melts and disconnects the circuit, thus preventing further damage.

PTC Resettable Fuses, such as PFMF.110.16.2, are a highly effective solution for numerous applications in both commercial and industrial settings. The resettable feature offers a faster and more reliable means to restoring the circuit in the event of an overload, while the short circuit protection provides increased safety for expensive and sensitive components. PFMF.110.16.2 is available in a range of ratings, making it ideal for a variety of applications including power supplies, computers, consumer electronics, automotive, industrial, and medical devices.
