SLIC Overcurrent POSISTOR Slide 4
There are a few devices on the market today that offer SLIC protection. A current fuse is the lowest cost device, but requires replacement once it blows making its total cost, including repair services, fairly expensive. A polymer PTC Thermistor provides suitable resettable protection up to 600V, but it is an expensive solution. The POSISTOR® is a lower cost resettable solution that provides protection up to 250V. If a 600V short occurs, the POSISTOR will fail in a permanently open fashion, complying with UL’s requirements. The POSISTOR provides a good compromise between cost and resettable performance.
