Power-line PCB Protection

Problem: Overcurrent / Overtemperature

Power-line PCB (printed circuit board) traces can over heat or be damaged by an overcurrent event caused by mis-wiring or by connecting improper power.
 

Solution: PolySwitch devices.

PolySwitch devices help protect against overcurrent or overtemperature by thermally "tripping", which reduces the current flowing through the trace.
