  2. Thermistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermistor

    A degaussing circuit using a PTC thermistor is simple, reliable (for its simplicity), and inexpensive. As heaters, in the automotive industry, to provide cabin heating (in addition to heating provided by a heat pump or the waste heat of an internal combustion engine), or to heat diesel fuel in cold conditions before engine injection.

  3. Reference designator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_designator

    A reference designator unambiguously identifies the location of a component within an electrical schematic or on a printed circuit board.The reference designator usually consists of one or two letters followed by a number, e.g. C3, D1, R4, U15.

  4. Voltage regulator module - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_regulator_module

    Haswell featured a FIVR.. Most voltage regulator module implementations are soldered onto the motherboard.Some processors, such as Intel Haswell and Ice Lake CPUs, feature some voltage regulation components on the same CPU package, reduce the VRM design of the motherboard; such a design brings certain levels of simplification to complex voltage regulation involving numerous CPU supply voltages ...

  5. Varistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varistor

    Modern varistor schematic symbol, which is the same as a thermistor symbol [1] A varistor (a.k.a. voltage-dependent resistor (VDR)) is a surge protecting electronic component with an electrical resistance that varies with the applied voltage. [2] It has a nonlinear, non-ohmic current–voltage characteristic that is similar to that of a diode ...

  6. Self-regulating heater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-regulating_heater

    Since PTC heating elements are a kind of thermistor, they share the same principles of operation. The details depend on the type of material, but a class of materials widely used are crystalline ceramics. During manufacture, dopants are added to give the material semiconductor properties. These materials have somewhat negative temperature ...

  7. 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.

  8. 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.
