The MSMD010-60V is a resettable fuse, also known as a Polymer Positive Temperature Coefficient (PPTC) device, manufactured by TECHFUSE. It is designed to protect electronic circuits from overcurrent faults. When an overcurrent condition occurs, the device heats up and its resistance increases dramatically, limiting the current flow and protecting the circuit. Once the fault is cleared and power is removed, the device cools down and its resistance returns to a low value, allowing normal circuit operation to resume.

Applications

• USB port protection
• Power supply protection
• General electronic equipment
• Automotive electronics
• Battery packs

Features

• Resettable: Automatically resets after the fault is cleared.
• Surface Mount: Suitable for automated assembly processes.
• Compact Size: Saves board space.
• Fast Trip Time: Quickly limits current during an overcurrent event.
• Low Resistance: Minimizes voltage drop during normal operation.
• RoHS Compliant: Environmentally friendly and compliant with RoHS standards.

Benefits

• Overcurrent Protection: Protects circuits from damage due to excessive current.
• Resettable Functionality: Eliminates the need to replace blown fuses.
• Improved Reliability: Enhances the reliability of electronic equipment.
• Reduced Downtime: Minimizes disruptions caused by overcurrent events.
