APPLICATIONS

Over-temperature/over-load protection:

• Telecom

-Central Office Switching (C.O.)

-Subscriber Terminal Equipment (T.E.)

-Set-top Box

-Modems

• General industry and automotive

-Low power overload protection

-Inrush current limitation

DESCRIPTION

The component consists of a high performance PTC

ceramic mounted in a lead frame with lead (Pb)-free tin

plated contacts. The terminations are joined to the Ag plated

ceramic by a high melting solder. The ceramic is covered

with a protective high temperature silicone layer.

MARKING

• All SMD PTCs are marked with a 3-digit type number

(XXX) and a date code (YYWW)
