Resettable PTC protectors now smaller

24 March 2004 Circuit & System Protection

Littelfuse's new series of surface mount positive temperature coefficient (PTC) resettable circuit protection devices, the 1206 Series, is one-third the size of the 1812L series, previously its smallest available size. The 1206 Series is introduced in a 1,1 A rating with ratings ranging from 0,2 to 1,5 A to be released shortly after. The device's dimensions of 3,15 mm (length) x 1,65 mm (width) make it the smallest PTC offered by Littelfuse and especially appropriate for computer applications where space is at a premium.

The new series is based on its 1812 Next Generation platform. The 1206 series provides for protection of electronic circuits against overcurrent conditions in a wide range of computer and peripheral applications, including PC Cards, modems, keyboard and mouse ports, printers, network cards, and USB ports.

Designed for 'plug and play' applications, these devices conform to the USB standard requirements for the connection of peripherals to computers. The 1206 Series PTCs are recognised under the Components Program of Underwriters Laboratories, the Component Acceptance Program of CSA, and TUV.
