Resettable Devices
Raychem Circuit Protection has
pioneered PPTC technology for
over twenty years. Our radial-
leaded products represent the
widest range of product capabilities.
• RGE series for hold currents up
to 14A
• RHE series for flatter thermal
derating and operating tempera-
tures up to 125°C
• RUE series for balance of volt-
age rating (30V) and hold current
(up to 9A)
• RUSB series for fast time-to-trip
and low-resistance computer
applications
• RTE series specifically designed
for IEEE-1394 applications
• RXE series for low hold currents
(down to 50mA) and high volt-
age rating (up to 72V)
• TR600 series for North America
telephone applications
• TR250 series for ITU telephone
applications
• BBR series for cable telephone
applications
Whether for design or volume
application, our radial-leaded
products represent the most
comprehensive and complete set
of PPTC products available in
the industry today.

Selection Guide for Radial-leaded Devices
Step 1.
Determine the circuit’s operating parameters.
Fill in the following information about the circuit:
Maximum ambient operating temperature
Normal operating current
Maximum operating voltage
(i.e., RUE135 is 30V max.)
Maximum interrupt current
Step 2.
Select the PolySwitch device that will accommodate the
circuit’s maximum ambient temperature and normal operating
current.
Look across the top of Table R2 to find the temperature that most
closely matches the circuit’s maximum operating temperature. Look
down that column to find the value equal to or greater than the circuit’s
normal operating current. Now look to the far left of that row to find the
part number for the PolySwitch device that will best accommodate the
circuit. Devices in this section are grouped by voltage rating; therefore,
your operating current requirement may be found in more than one
product grouping.
The thermal derating curves located in Figures R1–R4 are the normal-
ized representations of the data in Table R2.
Step 3.
Compare the maximum electrical ratings of the selected
device with the maximum operating voltage and maximum inter-
rupt currents of the circuit.
Look down the first column of Table R3 to find the part number you
selected in Step 2. Look to the right in that row to find the device’s
maximum operating voltage (V
MAX
) and maximum interrupt current
(I
MAX
). Ensure that V
MAX
and I
MAX
are greater than or equal to operating
voltage and maximum interrupt current.

Step 4.
Determine time-to-trip.
Time-to-trip is the amount of time it takes for a device to switch
to a high-resistance state once a fault current has been applied
across the device. Identifying the PolySwitch device’s time-to-
trip is important in order to provide the desired protection
capabilities. If the device you choose trips too fast, undesired
or nuisance tripping will occur. If the device trips too slowly, the
components being protected may be damaged before the
device switches to a high-resistance state.
Refer to the typical time-to-trip curves for each of the
PolySwitch devices found in Figures R16–R21.
If the time-to-trip of the PolySwitch device is too fast or too slow
for the circuit, go back to Step 2 and choose an alternate
device.
Step 5.
Verify ambient operating conditions.
Ensure that your application’s minimum and maximum ambient
temperatures are within the operating temperature of -40°C to
85°C (-40 to 125°C for RHE device series).
Step 6.
Verify the PolySwitch device dimensions.
Using the dimensions in Table R4, compare the dimensions of
the PolySwitch device you selected with the application’s space
considerations.
