PTC Resettable Fuses are designed to protect against overcurrent and overvoltage conditions in electronic equipment. By using a polymeric Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) element, these devices automatically open when current flow exceeds a certain level and then reset themselves after the current is shut off. This type of fuse offers a number of distinct advantages over traditional thermal or time-delay fusing solutions, including enhanced current protection, faster response times, and cost savings.

The PTS181212V150 is an example of a PTC Resettable Fuse. It is a single pole, thermal protection element designed to protect against overcurrents under high temperature. The fuse is rated to reset at a current of 150V, or 150 mA, a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C, and a maximum surge current of 390 mA. The fuse’s thermal element is designed to allow for long life operation and fast response times.

PTC Resettable fuses are commonly used in a wide range of applications, including consumer electronics, automotive, lighting, and industrial control systems. In consumer electronics, they are used to protect power converters, protection circuits, power supply, and circuit boards. In automotive applications, they are used to provide built-in protection from overcurrent and overvoltage conditions. In lighting applications, they help protect the power supply and ensure the safety of the luminaire. And in industrial control systems, they are often used to protect against short circuits and overloads.

PTC Resettable fuses work by utilizing the temperature and resistive characteristics of polymeric Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) materials. When current flow exceeds the fuse’s current rating, the polymeric material heats up and rapidly increases its resistance to the current flow, causing the fuse to open. Once the current flow stops, the material returns to its original temperature and lowers its resistance, allowing the fuse to reset. This feature makes PTC Resettable fuses ideally suited for applications that are subject to frequent power spike or current overloads. In addition, this type of fuse offers improved life cycle performance, faster response times, cost savings, and improved safety.

PTC Resettable Fuses continue to be one of the best solutions to overcurrent and overload protection. With their fast response times, long life operation, and cost savings, they are an ideal choice for a wide range of applications. In the case of the PTS181212V150, its 150V and -40 to 125°C ratings make it suitable for various types of consumer electronics, automotive, lighting, and industrial control systems.
