A PTC (Positive Thermal Coefficient) resettable fuse is an element placed in series with an electric/electronic circuit. It is also known as polyfuse, multifuse, or multiswitch. It protects the circuit from overcurrent by changing resistance from low to high. On the other hand, the traditional one fuse completely cuts supply. A PTC resettable fuse returns to its normal low-resistance state when power supply is cut. Then, the fuse gets cool down. PTC resettable fuses are made of innovative polymeric or ceramic material in the form of thin sheets bounded between two conductive planer terminals. Furthermore, selection of material for use in PTC resettable fuses depends on insulating properties and applications of the material. Most electronic and semiconductor devices are biased to overcurrent. Hence, they require rapid protection, which can be achieved by using PTC resettable fuses. Property of reset-ability of these fuses has eliminated the need for service personnel, which has resulted in reduced cost of service and repair. PTC resettable fuses offer greater control, repeatability, and remote monitoring. This helps industries reduce unscheduled downtime and increase productivity. PTC resettable fuses are designed to obtain protection from fault current for a wide range of applications in consumer appliances, electronic toys, batteries, computers, and railways. These fuses are also employed to protect a wide variety of circuits in telecommunications and automobiles industries.
Increasing use of PTC resettable fuses for protecting DC motor assemblies in the automotive industry is expected to fuel the global PTC resettable fuses market in the next few years. The continually rising demand for consumer electronics products such as tablet PCs, game consoles, set-top boxes, and mobile phones is also anticipated to drive the global PTC resettable fuses market during the forecast period. Miniaturization of PTC resettable fuses with lower resistance rating is becoming a new trend in the market. On the other side, due to high response time of PTC resettable fuses, they are not suitable for use in certain sensitive applications. This is expected to be a restraining factor for the PTC resettable fuses market in the next few years.
