PolySwitch Resettable Devices
Automotive Devices
We have provided PPTC resettable devices for the
automotive industry for over 25 years. With the advent of
TS16949 and our continued involvement in the
automotive industry, we developed automotive specific
versions of our PolySwitch PPTC devices (nanoASMDC,
microASMD, miniASMDC, AHS, ASMD, AHRF, AHEF,
AGRF and BD). These products are qualified and sold
under PS400 specification which is derived from AEC-
Q200, the standard for electronic components used in
the automotive industry. The key difference between
these product families and other protection devices in
our circuit protection product
portfolio is the
qualification process followed according to a series of
rigorous tests related to the automotive environment. As
a result, they are characterized by specific additional
values determined post automotive related testing.
