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

Overcurrent protection is critical for the lifespan of electronic devices in a wide range of applications. Overcurrent conditions can lead to costly field failures, so ignoring circuit protection is ...

Menlo Park, Calif. – Tyco Electronics' power components division has launched two products in its Raychem line. The company says its LVR series of PolySwitch resettable fuses is one of the first ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

This design idea describes a resettable high-speed fuse that uses only a few off-the-shelf parts, resets itself after blowing, and doesn't require a special current-sense resistor. While the circuit ...

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, ...

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, ...
