Circuit protection has become a crucial design consideration to protect sensitive applications against overcurrent conditions. In most applications, overcurrent and overtemperature conditions are an ...

Every time a user plugs in, operates or leaves a system unattended, an overcurrent fuse should be there to ensure against circuit operation above a specified value. BRIAN AHEARNE, Product Line Manager ...

Toshiba has expanded its range of eFuse circuit breaker ICs with a 53mΩ version that trips in 320ns, all in a 3 x 3mm package. Dubbed TCKE712BNL, it is aimed at consumer goods including cameras, ...

For hot plug consumer and industrial products, including external disks, printers and servers, the NIS5132 resettable electronic fuse from Diodes Incorporated helps raise power system reliability, by ...

Bourns has introduced a series of miniature resettable thermal cut-off (TCO) devices for dense, high capacity lithium-ion battery packs. The Model AC series offers five trip temperatures: 72, 77, 82, ...

The fuse described in this design idea does not drop the connection, it simply limits the output current. A behavior that is similar to a polyfuse, however the circuit shown in Figure 1 is more ...

Bel Fuse (NASDAQ: BELFA and BELFB) and premier global manufacturer of circuit protection devices, announces their 0ZT Series of high-temperature SMD resettable PPTC fuses for automotive, ethernet, and ...

Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have demonstrated fully 3D-printed resettable fuses, essential components in active electronics that usually rely on semiconductors. However, ...

One can 3D print with conductive filament, and therefore plausibly create passive components like resistors. But what about active components, which typically require semiconductors? Researchers at ...
