Vishay Intertechnology has introduced a new series of inrush current limiting positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistors.
The PTCEL High Energy series devices combine maximum energy handling to 340 J with a wide range of resistance values and high voltage capabilities.
They enable increased efficiency and high maximum voltages of 1200 VDC, allowing designers to save space and lower costs by utilizing fewer components.
The thermistors provide current limitation and overload protection in various applications, and are highly resilient against non-switching peak power up to 25 kW.
