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 ...

The fuse described in this design idea does not drop the connection, it simply limits the output current. A behavior that is similar to a polyfuse, however the circuit shown in Figure 1 is more ...

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.

Diodes Inc has introduced the NIS5135, a self-protected resettable electronic fuse designed to enhance system reliability against shutdown and catastrophic failures. The fuse is suited to plug and ...
