Rated to 120 VAC/VDC, the new RoHS-6 compliant devices boast a unique polymer formulation to ensure long-life performance and unparalleled reliability. Their capacity to limit the flow of dangerously high current during fault conditions allows them to protect products and systems during overcurrent surges and overtemperature faults. The parts do not need replacement after a fault event as they reset themselves, allowing the circuit to resume normal operating conditions once power is removed. This resettable functionality makes them the perfect option to traditional fuses and fusible links as they allow EOEMs to reduce the applied costs associated to repairs, service, and warranties. Materials meet UL-94V-0 requirements.
