PolySwitch Surface-mount
Resettable Devices
More than ten years ago,
Raychem Circuit Protection intro-
duced the SMD product family,
and polymeric PTC devices
quickly became the computer
industry standard for keyboard,
mouse, and disk drive protection.
In 1995, Raychem Circuit
Protection advanced the technol-
ogy, reducing the size and cost of
surface-mount resettable devices
with the introduction of its
miniSMD product series. The
recent additions to the surface-
mount family include the
nanoSMD series, which reduces
the size to a 3216mm (1206mils)
foot print, one-third the size of the
popular miniSMD series.

Selection Guide for Surface-mount 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. miniSMDC014 is 60V
DC
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 S2 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 surface mount device that will best
accommodate the circuit. Devices in this section are grouped by
device dimensions, so your operating-current requirement may be
found in more then one grouping.
The thermal derating curves located in Figure S1 are the normalized
representations of the data in Table S2.
Step 3.
Compare the selected device’s maximum electrical rat-
ings with the circuit’s maximum operating voltage and
interrupt current.
Look down the first column of Table S3 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 the circuit’s
maximum 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.
Figures S11-S18 show the typical time-to-trip at 20°C for each of the
PolySwitch devices.
If the PolySwitch device's time-to-trip 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˚C to 125˚C for SMDH160).
Step 6.
Verify the PolySwitch device dimensions.
Using dimensions in Table S4, compare the dimensions of the
PolySwitch device you selected with the application’s space con-
siderations.
