PTC Resettable Fuses are a type of fuse in which a polymeric Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) device is used as an overcurrent sensing element. This type of fuse is also known as an electronic fuse, polymeric fuse, or PPTC (Polymeric Positive Temperature Coefficient) fuse. The SMDC050F-2 fuse is one particular type in this dynamic family.

The SMDC050F-2 application field is expansive due to its high performance capabilities. It is used in an extensive array of devices as an overcurrent protection solution. In many cases, the SMDC050F-2 is used to reduce excessive power consumption and heat increase during circuit operation. It is also used in personal computers, projectors, cellular communications, office equipment, and household electronics as well as high power applications.

The working principle of the SMDC050F-2 is relatively simple. Its overcurrent sensing element - the PTC device - is designed to sense current levels beyond rated levels. The device will actuate electrical interrupts if an excessive current is detected, carrying out the job of a traditional fuse with the added benefits that come with the PTC device. Setting off electrical interrupts ensures unwanted power consumption and heat buildup does not become a risk. If the excessive current happens to be removed, the PTC device will reset and the fuse will be back in operation.

The design of the PTC device is chosen based on three individual design variables: a Resettable Ihold variable, Reset Time, and Maximum Ihold. The Resettable Ihold is the amount of current that the PTC device is designed to hold off before actuating the electrical interruption. The Reset Time is the time span from the moment the current is removed from the circuit to the moment the fuse is back in operation. Maximum Ihold is the maximum amount of current the fuse can sustain before the interruption is actuated. The design variables are carefully chosen based on the needs of the electrical circuit in which the fuse is to be used.

SMDC050F-2 fuses are used in a vast array of applications. Their proper usage depends highly on the implementation of the fuse and the use of the correct design variables. It is essential to understand the properties of the SMDC050F-2 fuse in order to use it in the most effective and efficient manner.
