Resettable Devices Defeat Over-Current Damage May 2007 Issue Published Date: February 28, 2007
The PolySwitch LVR resettable protection devices guard against failures caused by mechanical overloads, overheating, stall, lost neutral, and other potentially damaging conditions. The series includes components that are rated for line voltages of 120 Vac and 240 Vac for up to 2A of operating current at 20°C. They reportedly offer low resistance, fast time-to-trip, and a low profile. When compared to bimetal breakers, the components reportedly offer greater flexibility, longer lifespan, and lower EMI. Prices range from $0.254 to $0.45 each. For further information, call RAYCHEM CIRCUIT PROTECTION, Menlo Park, CA. (800) 227-7040.
