PTC resettable fuses, often referred to as PolyFuse, are becoming increasingly popular in the field of electronic protection. RGEF500 series of PTC resettable fuses have been designed to provide optimal overcurrent and overload protection against short-circuits and other fault conditions in electronic systems. The main components of the RGEF500 are a PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) thermal switch, a resistor and a support terminal. The PTC is the key component in the fuse and provides the overcurrent protection. The PTC works by being heater under surge or overload current. As the current rises, the PTC resistance increase. As a result, the current supply is reduced and the circuit is protected from damage. The resistor helps to limit the current flow and provides additional protection in the event of a sustained surge or overload. The support terminal is used to provide a solid mounting point for the fuse and also provides support to the other components.  

The application field of the RGEF500 series of PTC resettable fuses can be found in devices where an overcurrent must be protected. This can include motors, lighting systems, battery systems, power supplies, solar panels, computers, medical equipment, consumer electronics and much more. The fuse has been designed to provide optimal protection for electronic systems and offers superior performance when compared to alternative fuse solutions. The RGEF500 can be used in applications where an overcurrent must be prevented from exceeding a certain level, or in circuits where an overload must be protected in order to prevent damage to the system.

The working principle for the RGEF500 series of PTC resettable fuses is relatively simple. When a fault is caused by an overcurrent, such as a short circuit, the temperature of the PTC rapidly increases. This causes the resistance of the PTC to increase significantly, reducing the current flow through the fuse. As the temperature cools down, the resistance of the PTC decreases, allowing for the current to resume flowing and preventing any further damage to the system. One of the main benefits of the PTC fuse is that it is self-resetting, meaning that after the overcurrent or overload has been removed, the current can resume flowing as normal. In cases where the overload remains, the fuse could be manually reset.

Overall, the RGEF500 series of PTC resettable fuses offer an effective and reliable solution for overcurrent and overload protection in electronic systems. Their self-resetting mechanism makes them the ideal choice for applications where the fault is not usually sustained and where the protection must be quickly reset without any manual intervention. As technology progresses, the demand for more effective and reliable electronic protection solutions continues to grow and PTC fuses have become increasingly popular in a wide range of applications.
