scope:
This Recommendation in the surge protective component application guide series covers self-restoring thermally activated overcurrent protectors (OCPs). These OCPs are operated by self-heating and are automatically reset after the end of the overcurrent condition without the need for manual intervention. This Recommendation covers the two types of body material; polymer and ceramic. These components are referred to as follows:
a) polymer positive temperature coefficient (PPTC) thermistors;
b) ceramic positive temperature coefficient (CPTC) thermistors;
Guide topics include:
- Construction
- Operation
- Production
- Ratings
- Characteristics
- Application examples
