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 ...

Littelfuse, Inc. has released a new series of polymeric positive temperature coefficient (PPTC) devices, also called resettable fuses, to protect ever-shrinking mobile and wearable devices. The ...

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 ...

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 ...

Designed to protect against electrical overloads and short circuits, Bel 0ZAF resettable fuses provide circuit protection for a variety of applications in the IoT, industrial, and medical sectors.

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, ...

If you’re an experienced hacker, you’ve probably run into a problem at some point and thought “let’s make a tool to automate that”. A few hours later you’ve got your tool, but then realize that the ...
