Circuit protection has become a crucial design consideration to protect sensitive applications against overcurrent conditions. In most applications, overcurrent and overtemperature conditions are an ...

Overcurrent protection is critical for the lifespan of electronic devices in a wide range of applications. Overcurrent conditions can lead to costly field failures, so ignoring circuit protection is ...

The fuse described in this design idea does not drop the connection, it simply limits the output current. A behavior that is similar to a polyfuse, however the circuit shown in Figure 1 is more ...

A new technical paper titled “Semiconductor-free, monolithically 3D-printed logic gates and resettable fuses” was published by researchers at MIT. “This work reports the first active electronics fully ...

A new technical paper titled "Semiconductor-free, monolithically 3D-printed logic gates and resettable fuses" was published by researchers at MIT. "This work reports the first active electronics fully ...

This design idea describes a resettable high-speed fuse that uses only a few off-the-shelf parts, resets itself after blowing, and doesn't require a special current-sense resistor. While the circuit ...

Bourns has introduced a series of miniature resettable thermal cut-off (TCO) devices for dense, high capacity lithium-ion battery packs. The Model AC series offers five trip temperatures: 72, 77, 82, ...

Sensata’s new FaultBreak™ is a breakthrough, market-leading innovation designed to deliver resettable, passive fault protection for electric vehicles (EVs). Enables robust, cost-effective high voltage ...

One can 3D print with conductive filament, and therefore plausibly create passive components like resistors. But what about active components, which typically require semiconductors? Researchers at ...
