Image of Murata PRG Series Automotive Grade Thermistors Murata Electronics has released the PRG21 series (0805 size) and PRG18 series (0603 size) for overcurrent protection in automotive applications. Through the innovative use of ceramic materials, Murata has developed means to provide higher reliability circuit protection with quick protection after a short circuit occurs. This allows the engineer to make equipment safer and maintenance-free.

Compared with organic PTC elements and chip resistors with the same characteristics. The PRG series features the ability to withstand higher voltage and higher power capacity. Making it possible to reduce the chip size, thus reducing board space and equipment size.

Features:		Applications:
Rapid operation to protect the circuit in an over current abnormality (such as a short circuit) By removing the overcurrent condition, these products automatically return to the initial condition and can be used repeatedly Stable operational performance due to PTC ceramic material Automotive and industrial temperature range of -40°C to +125°C Possible to use these products as current limiting resistors with overcurrent protection functions Offered in 0603 and 0805 SMD sizes RoHS compliant AEC-Q200 approved.
