  2. Thermistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermistor

    NTC thermistors are widely used as inrush-current limiters and temperature sensors, while PTC thermistors are used as self-resetting overcurrent protectors and self-regulating heating elements. An operational temperature range of a thermistor is dependent on the probe type and is typically between −100 and 300 °C (−148 and 572 °F).

  3. 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.

  4. Thermal cutoff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_cutoff

    Another type of thermal switch is a PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) thermistor; these thermistors have a "cutting off" temperature at which the resistance suddenly rises rapidly, limiting the current through the circuit. When used in conjunction with a thermistor relay, the PTC will switch off an electrical system at a desired temperature.

  5. Resettable fuse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resettable_fuse

    Resettable fuses - PolySwitch devices. A resettable fuse or polymeric positive temperature coefficient device (PPTC) is a passive electronic component used to protect against overcurrent faults in electronic circuits.

  6. Inrush current limiter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inrush_current_limiter

    NTC thermistors can be used as inrush-current limiting devices in power supply circuits when added in series with the circuit being protected. They present a higher resistance initially, which prevents large currents from flowing at turn-on. As current continues to flow, NTC thermistors heat up, allowing higher current flow during normal operation.

  7. Thinking Electronic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thinking_Electronic

    With the PC industry rising from the 1980s in Taiwan, its NTC thermistor is adapted as the inrush current limiter in switched-mode power supply to suppress the inrush current when power supply turns on, and the varistor protects the circuit from damaged by surge current occasionally occurred in the electricity network.
