PolySwitch Resettable Devices
Short-Form Catalog November 2001
Overview
Raychem’s families of PolySwitch
resettable devices continue to expand to
include devices with wider voltage,
current, and temperature ranges.
Sixteen standard product families of
PolySwitch devices are available in
leaded, axial, and surface-mount
configurations. Many have received UL
component recognition and meet the
requirements of other agencies,
including CSA and TÜV. Technically,
these devices are thermistor-type
devices based on a polymer positive
temperature coefficient material.
PolySwitch devices are used in a
wide variety of applications:
Automotive
• Actuators and medium motors
• Trace protection
• Wire harnesses
Battery Protection
• Lithium cells and battery packs
• Rechargeable battery packs
• Chargers
Computers and Peripherals
• DDC.2 computer video ports
• Hard disk drives/storage devices
• IEEE 1394 ports
• Mouse and keyboard ports
• USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports
• PC (PCMCIA) cards and sockets
• SCSI
Industrial
• MOSFET device protection
• Motors, fans, and blowers
• POS equipment
• Process and industrial controls
• Security and fire alarm systems
• Test and measurement equipment
• Transformers
• Medical electronics

Telecom and Broadband Products
These product lines consist of radial leaded and
surface mount devices that protect against short
duration high voltage faults (250-600Vrms). TR
and TS products are designed to meet the protec-
tion needs of telecommunications applications.
BBR devices provide overcurrent protection of the
power tap in hybrid-coaxial applications.
TR, TS and BBR devices are not intended for
continuous utility line voltage operation
(i.e. 120v or 240V).
