PolySwitch Resettable Devices
Telecommunications & Networking Devices
This family of telecommunication and networking
devices was initially designed to meet the growing
demand for resettable overcurrent protection. These
product families help provide protection against
damage caused by power cross and power induction
surges as defined in ITU, Telcordia GR1089, and
UL60950. Available in chip, surface-mount, and radial-
leaded configurations, TE’s PolySwitch devices help
improve the reliability of customer premise and network
equipment world wide.

Voltage Ratings for Telecommunications and Networking Devices
For circuit protection telecommunications devices there are two applicable voltage ratings. These are
V
MAX
Operating
and
V
MAX
Interrupt.
To help understand the nature of these two different voltage ratings, the following definitions are provided:
V
MAX
Operating
: For telecommunications devices this is the voltage used to obtain component recognition under UL1434. Most circuit
protection devices are certified at 60V but can withstand higher V
MAX
Interrupt conditions as noted above.
See Table T3 for its V
MAX
Operating.
*V
MAX
Interrupt
: Under specified conditions this is the highest voltage that can be applied to the device at the maximum current. Devices
have been designed to trip safely under higher power level cross conditions, as listed above, to assist equipment in
meeting the appropriate industry conditions.
