PTC resettable fuses are a type of current limiting devices that, after overheating due to an overload or a short circuit, will go into a high-resistance state. The resistance of PTC resettable fuses allows a current to keep flowing, but at a level that reduces the amount of energy the fuse will be exposed to.

PTCTZ3MR500STE is the model of a PTC resettable fuse from Littelfuse. It is engineered for reliable overcurrent protection in a variety of applications, including lighting, HVAC, consumer electronics, industrial, audio, and automotive, to name a few. It is approved to UL, CSA, and VDE safety standards and has active and long-term overcurrent protection of up to 12A into short circuits and overloads.

The main function of the PTCTZ3MR500STE is to protect circuits and components from damage resulting from overcurrent or overcurrent transients. When an overload or a short circuit condition occurs, the device quickly rises to its rated current. The PTCTZ3MR500STE has two modes of protection: active overcurrent protection and long-term overcurrent protection. The active overcurrent protection is activated when a current exceeds the preset trip level. Once this occurs, the internal fuse element heats up, reducing the current. Long-term overcurrent protection is activated when the overload or short circuit is sustained for an extended period of time. The thermal characteristics of the fuse provide a long-term current limiting capability.

The PTCTZ3MR500STE is designed with a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) device, which increases in resistance with an increase in temperature. The increased resistance drastically reduces the amount of current that can flow through the fuse and triggers a protective system shutdown. When the temperature drops, the device returns back to its low-resistance state and allows the circuit to be safely re-energized.

PTCTZ3MR500STE also features a low thermal impedance junction which allows for rapid thermal response to overcurrent events and a wide range of overcurrent ratings. The device provides excellent circuit protection in a wide variety of applications, including automotive, audio, HVAC, industrial, consumer electronics, and lighting systems.

The design and working principle of the PTCTZ3MR500STE are straightforward, making it easy to integrate into a variety of circuit designs. The device is also designed to be RoHS compliant, meaning it does not contain hazardous materials such as lead, cadmium, or mercury. This characteristic of the device makes it ideal for use in numerous applications, ranging from medical and automotive to consumer equipment.

The PTCTZ3MR500STE is a reliable device with an outstanding overcurrent protection. It provides a robust protection against short circuit and overload conditions and ensures the safe operation of the circuits. The device is suitable for use in a wide variety of applications, ranging from automotive and consumer electronics to industrial and HVAC systems.
