PTC resettable fuses play an increasingly important role in electronic equipment as they are energy-efficient, space-saving, and cost-effective alternatives to other conventional fuses. The PFRT.014.250 is one of the most popular resettable fuses on the market. This article will look at the application field and working principle of the PFRT.014.250.

First of all, the PFRT.014.250 can be used in many different types of electronic circuits. It is commonly used in high-power DC switching circuits, such as those found in power supplies, solar inverters, and automotive electronics. It is also used in AC circuits, especially those with high inrush current, such as in high-power motor drives and lighting ballasts. The low thermal resistance and low profile of the PFRT.014.250 also make it ideal for use in applications where space is at a premium, such as notebooks, smartphones, and other handheld devices.

As a resettable fuse, the PFRT.014.250 works on the principle of a Polymeric Positive Temperature Coefficient (PPTC). When a PPTC goes into thermal runaway due to an overcurrent event, the device quickly opens the circuit, interrupting the overcurrent and preventing the circuit from drawing too much power and possibly damaging the components. Once the overcurrent event is over, the PPTC slowly cools down and reset itself, allowing the circuit to be re-energized without the need for manual resetting.

The PFRT.014.250 has several features that make it especially useful in high-power applications. It has a very short response time of 0.25 seconds, allowing it to shut off the circuit before the system components are damaged. It also has a high current rating of 14A. compared to traditional resettable fuses, which is more than enough for most applications. It also has a low self-resistance of 0.14 Ohms, which helps maximize the efficiency of the circuit.

The PFRT.014.250 is also very robust, capable of withstanding up to 1000 cycles of open-and-close events before its performance deteriorates. In other words, it can be used in circuits that experience routine power outages without the need to be replaced. Furthermore, its small size and low profile make it an ideal choice for applications where size and space are limited. This makes it an ideal choice for use in mobile electronics.

In summary, the PFRT.014.250 is one of the most popular and reliable resettable fuses on the market. It is used in a wide variety of electronic circuits, from high-power DC switching circuits to AC circuits with high inrush currents. Its features, including a very short response time, a high current rating, and a low self-resistance, make it an ideal choice for both large and small applications. Its small size and low profile also make it an ideal choice for use in devices where size and space are at a premium. As a result, it is one of the most widely used resettable fuses on the market, and should be a reliable choice for any application.
