Eaten Resettable Fuses PTSA181216V150

Description:

The Eaton Resettable Fuse PTSA181216V150 is a Polymer Positive Temperature Coefficient (PPTC) resettable fuse. This means it's designed to protect electronic circuits from overcurrent faults. Unlike traditional fuses that melt and need replacement, a PPTC fuse "trips" to limit current during a fault and then resets itself once the fault is removed and the device cools down. 

Key Features:

• Resettable: Eliminates the need for fuse replacement after a fault.
• Surface Mount (SMD): Designed for surface mounting on printed circuit boards.   
• Polymer PTC: Uses a conductive polymer that increases in resistance with temperature.   
• Overcurrent Protection: Protects circuits from damage due to excessive current.   
• Fast Trip Time: Reacts quickly to overcurrent conditions.   
• Wide Range of Applications: Suitable for various electronic devices.
• Compact Size: Small footprint due to the 1812 package.

Applications:

• USB Ports: Protecting USB ports on computers and devices.
• Portable Electronics: Used in smartphones, tablets, and other portable devices.
• Battery Packs: Protecting battery packs from overcurrent and short circuits.
• Industrial Control Systems: Protecting sensitive electronic components.   
• Automotive Electronics: Used in automotive systems for circuit protection.   
• Consumer Electronics: Found in TVs, DVD players, and other home entertainment devices.
