Tyco's Polyswitch features small form factor
Tyco Electronics has announced an addition to its PolySwitch resettable PPTC (polymeric positive temperature coefficient) devices surface-mount product family. Useful for the latest generation of high frequency data ports, I/O ports and storage devices, the picoSMD035F device offers circuit designers the smallest PPTC overcurrent protection device available for consumer and computer electronics.
The “The picoSMD035F device’s small size, fast time-to-trip, and low power dissipation make it a logical and innovative solution for high density circuit board designs,” said Global Product Marketing Manager, Ashfaque Ameen.
Rated at 6V, the picoSMD035F device provides a hold current of 0.35A, a trip current of 0.75A and a maximum resistance of 1.4Ω. The device meets safety agency standards, is full-edge terminated with nickel-gold finish for superior solderability, and is RoHS compliant. Production quantities are now available in tape and reel packages.
