Circuit Protection Electronics Circuit circuit fuse fuse protection protectionHEILIND ELECTRONICS Bel Fuse-Circuit Protection 0ZCN Series surface mount resettable positive temperature coefficient (PTC) fuses are designed using polymeric materials containing conductive filler bonded between two conductive, planar terminations. When a tripped resistance is reached, device will reset only after power to the circuit is removed, the fault is cleared and power is reapplied to the circuit. This reset ability protects electronic equipment from overload, thus eliminating the need for service personnel to physically replace a fuse. Devices are used in a wide variety of industrial, computer, battery, consumer electronics, telecom and automotive applications.
