2. Resettable fuse - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resettable_fuse

   A resettable fuse or polymeric positive temperature coefficient device (PPTC) is a passive electronic component used to protect against overcurrent faults in electronic circuits. The device is also known as a multifuse or polyfuse or polyswitch. They are similar in function to PTC thermistors in certain situations but operate on mechanical ...

3. Thermal cutoff - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_cutoff

   Thermal cutoff. An assortment of thermal fuses. A thermal cutoff is an electrical safety device (either a thermal fuse or thermal switch) that interrupts electric current when heated to a specific temperature. These devices may be for one-time use (a thermal fuse), or may be reset manually or automatically (a thermal switch).

4. Self-regulating heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-regulating_heater

   A positive-temperature-coefficient heating element (PTC heating element), or self-regulating heater, is an electrical resistance heater whose resistance increases significantly with temperature. The name self-regulating heater comes from the tendency of such heating elements to maintain a constant temperature when supplied by a given voltage ...

5. Thermistor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermistor

   A thermistor is a semiconductor type of resistor whose resistance is strongly dependent on temperature, more so than in standard resistors. The word thermistor is a portmanteau of thermal and resistor. Thermistors are categorized based on their conduction models. Negative-temperature-coefficient (NTC) thermistors have less resistance at higher ...

6. High capacity oceanographic lithium battery pack - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_capacity...

   PTCs, or positive temperature coefficient thermistors act as resettable fuses. PTCs begin to get warm at a trip current. PTCs begin to get warm at a trip current. The warmth increases their resistance which produces even more heat, and the PTC quickly "trips" and shuts off most of the current.

7. Fuse (electrical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuse_(electrical)

   Fuse (electrical) A miniature time-delay 250 V fuse that will interrupt a 0.3 A current at after 100 s, or a 15 A current in 0.1 s. 32 mm (1 1/4") long. In electronics and electrical engineering, a fuse is an electrical safety device that operates to provide overcurrent protection of an electrical circuit. Its essential component is a metal ...
