New APPLICATION NOTE 2010 (EIA 0805) MF-PSMF Series Industrial Solutions Resettable PTC Thermistors for Industrial Protection Resettable PTC thermistors or polymer PTC resettable fuses are common overcurrent protection devices in consumer applications such as personal computers, game consoles, mobile phones and set top boxes. They also protect a wide variety of circuits in automobiles and telecommunication networks. In addition to these high profile market segments, resettable PTC thermistors have been a popular circuit protection solution in the industrial and medical markets for many years. Industrial Demands As companies strive to increase production, shorten cycle times and reduce overhead, the need for Applications factory automation becomes more apparent. Automation can bring greater control, repeatability and Data ports (e.g. USB 2.0) allow remote monitoring. A finely controlled industrial facility can help meet the relentless just-in- Motors time demands of the 21st century marketplace. Unscheduled downtime of such facilities can cause Alarm and security systems havoc and destroy quality. For that reason, industrial controllers, systems and equipment must be of Power over Ethernet CCTV the highest reliability to prevent such downtime. Test and measurement devices Reliability of Industrial Controls Industrial controllers that remotely monitor pressure, temperature, speed and levels of substances
