0402L010SL 0402 0.1A 6V POLYFUSE Lead-Free SMT SMD Surface Mount Resettable PPTC For CD-ROMs
Traditional Fuses vs. PTCs
Fuses and PTCs are both overcurrent protection devices, though each offer their own unique operating characteristics and benefits. Understanding the differences between the two technologies should make the choice in selection easier, depending on the application.
The most obvious difference is that PTCs are automatically resettable whereas traditional Fuses need to be replaced after they they are tripped. Whereas a fuse will completely stop the flow of current (which may be desired in critical applications) after most similar overcurrent event, PTCs continue to enable the equiment to function, except in extreme cases.
Because they reset automatically, many circuit designers choose PTCs in instances where overcurrent events are expected to occur often, and where maintaining low warranty and service costs, constant system uptime, and/or user transparency are at a premium. They are also often chosen in circuits that are difficult to access or in remote locations, were fuse replacement would be difficult.
There are several other operating characteristics to be considered that distinguish PTCs and fuses, and it is also best to test and verify device performance before use within the end application.

Select the proper circuit protection component.
(Refer to PTC Selection Tables below and specifications with Data Sheets)
Determine the opening time at fault.
Consult the Time-Current (T-C) Curve of each PTC series to determine if the selected part will operate within the constraints of your application.
If the device opens too soon, the application may experience nuisance operation. If the device does not open soon enough, the overcurrent may damage downstream components.
To determine the opening time for the chosen device, locate the overload current on the X-axis of the appropriate T-C Curve and follow its line up to its intersection with the curve. At this point read the time tested on the Y-axis. This is the average opening time for that device.
If your overload current falls to the right of the curve the device will open. If the overload current is to the left of the curve, the device will not operate.
Verify ambient operating parameters.
Ensure that the application voltage is less than or equal to the device's rated voltage and that the operating temperature limits are within those specified by the device.
Verify the device's dimensions.
Compare the maximum dimensions of the device to the space available in the application. The dimension of each product is included within each data sheets on the following pages.
Test the selected product in an actual application.
