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, ...

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

From traditional fuses to eFuses, understanding the advantages, limitations, and use cases of each technology helps engineers ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 added 20 Multifuse polymer PTC resettable fuses in 1206 packages to its circuit protection portfolio, the Model MF-NSMF series. The new higher power rated fuses provide expanded over ...

A new technical paper titled “Semiconductor-free, monolithically 3D-printed logic gates and resettable fuses” was published by researchers at MIT. “This work reports the first active electronics fully ...

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 ...
