What is battery strap resettable fuse?
are unique as they are intended to be resistance spot welded to battery cells or to pack interconnect straps. Used in variety of applications such as battery packs for mobile phones, computers, cordless phone, mobile radio, camcorders, PDAs and can be used on Power Tools as well.

| Fuse | Unipolar circuit breaker |
| Fuse – IEC system | Bipolar circuit breaker |
| Fuse, IEEE / ANSI system | Three-pole circuit breaker |
When does a PTC fuse blow into an open circuit?
PTC fuses don’t blow into an open circuit like one-time fuses. PTCs suddenly turn into high-impedance (high resistance) devices, blocking current flow, when they sense a specified level of heat.
How does a PTC fuse work in a toaster?
How does a PTC fuse work? Most PTCs are thermistors; a passive component made of a material that has a positive temperature coefficient. Too much current flowing through a device can cause it to heat up, which like the elements in a toaster, raises the PTC’s temperature.
When to use PPTC resettable current limiting fuses?
The maximum available current if there’s ever a short circuit Form factor, mounting, and space requirements (e.g., radial, SMD, through-hole mounting, etc.) Ambient temperatures under all operating circumstances (e.g., if located in a server room, will the server room AC never break down?)
How much resistance does a PTC add to a circuit?
Under normal operation, a PTC only adds a tiny amount of resistance in series with a circuit; on the order of 1mΩ (Eaton) to 250Ω. An over-current condition will rapidly trip a PTC into a high-resistance state.
