PTCEL Series Inrush Current-Limiting PTC Thermistors

Vishay's PTC thermistors provide safe repetitive inrush current limitation and protection in many high-power applications

Image of Vishay's PTCEL Series PTC Thermistors, Inrush Current LimiterVishay's inrush current-limiting positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistors are designed to increase performance in active charge and discharge circuits for automotive and industrial applications. PTCEL high-energy series devices combine maximum energy handling of 340 J with a wide range of resistance at +25°C (R25) values and high-voltage capabilities. The devices’ increase in thermal capacity reduces the number of components required to save space, simplify designs and product development, reduce costs, and increase efficiency.

Features
  • High energy absorption levels: up to 340 J
  • High number of inrush-power cycles: greater than 100,000 cycles
  • Highly resistant against non-switching peak power up to 25 kW
  • Can handle high direct voltage up to 1,200 V
  • Self-protecting in case of overload with no risk of overheating
  • AEC-Q200 qualified
  • Rugged construction with UL 94-V0-approved coating
Applications
  • AC/DC and DC/DC converters
  • Load dump and DC-link circuits
  • Emergency discharge circuits
  • Onboard chargers or battery charging equipment
  • Motor drives
  • Welding equipment
