Positive Thermal Coefficient (PTC)
Description
Positive Thermal Coefficient devices(PTC),provide over-current
protection for electrical and electronic devices. They function
using conducting strips of metal imbedded inside polymers.
Under normal conditions, the devices resistance is near zero,
but over-current conditions will heat the PTC and expand the
polymer, increasing the impedance. When current returns to
normal, the components cool down, returning to their original
shape and very low levels of resistance.
