PTGL04AS100K3B51B0

PTC resettable fuses provide valuable protection from overcurrent circumstances, and are particularly useful for applications that require frequent resetting and high inrush currents. The PTGL04AS100K3B51B0 PTC resettable fuse is a popular model for a range of different applications.

Reliability is key in any electronic device, and the PTGL04AS100K3B51B0 is designed with this in mind. Its zero voltage drop characteristic ensures that no additional power consumption will occur during normal operation or when resetting. This feature also guarantees instantaneous and accurate protection.

This particular model has a current rating of 100kA (8/20μs pulse wave). It\'s designed to be used in applications where there is a significant risk of overcurrent, caused by capacitive loading, via inductance or large inrush currents. Due to the large current rating, the PTGL04AS100K3B51B0 is suitable for high-power applications, which require robust protection without excessive power consumption.

At its core, the PTGL04AS100K3B51B0 is an over-current protection device. It works by detecting abnormal current surge and automatically cutting the power off to protect the connected device. It is a bi-stable device which maintains a "safe" open-circuit state until either an over-current situation is encountered or a manual reset is performed. Once reset, the operating voltage is considered safe and the fuse will return back to a closed-circuit state.

Like other resettable fuses, the PTGL04AS100K3B51B0 protects against the sudden surge of current, or over-current, that can occur during normal operation. It works by self-regulating to well below the set current limit. Once the current falls below this limit, the fuse then automatically re-opens. This ensures that the fuse will not open and stay open due to a sustained over-current, avoiding any potential damage to connected equipment.

The PTGL04AS100K3B51B0 has various applications, including circuit protection for high-power electronic equipment, over-current protection for automotive components, and surge protection for solar cells. It is also used in many industrial and other high-power applications. Its robust design makes it ideal for protecting sensitive electronics from any damaging soldering and adverse environments.

Overall, the PTGL04AS100K3B51B0 PTC resettable fuse is an effective and reliable unit, boasting a wide range of protection features for a variety of applications. With its instantaneous protection and zero voltage drop, the PTGL04AS100K3B51B0 provides optimal, reliable protection without sacrificing power efficiency.
