Notes:
IH : Hold current: maximum current device will pass without interruption in 20°C still air.
IT : Trip current: minimum current that will switch the device from low resistance to
high resistance in 20°C still air.
VMAX : Maximum continuous voltage device can withstand without damage at rated current.
IMAX : Maximum fault current device can withstand without damage at rated voltage.
PD : Power dissipated from device when in the tripped state in 20°C still air.
RMIN : Minimum resistance of device as supplied at 20°C unless otherwise specified.
RMAX : Maximum resistance of device as supplied at 20°C unless otherwise specified.
R1MAX : Maximum resistance of device when measured one hour post reflow
(surface-mount device) or one hour post trip ( radial-leaded device) at 20°C unless
otherwise specified.
* Electrical characteristics determined at 25°C.

Warning
■ Users should independently evaluate the suitability of and test each product selected for their own application.
■ Operation beyond the maximum ratings or improper use may result in device damage and possible electrical arcing and flame.
■ These devices are intended for protection against damage caused by occasional overcurrent or overtemperature fault conditions and should not be used when
repeated fault conditions or prolonged trip events are anticipated.
■ Contamination of the PPTC material with certain silicone-based oils or some aggressive solvents can adversely impact the performance of the devices.
■ Device performance can be impacted negatively if devices are handled in a manner inconsistent with recommended electronic, thermal, and mechanical
procedures for electronic components.
■ PPTC devices are not recommended for installation in applications where the device is constrained such that its PTC properties are inhibited, for example in
rigid potting materials or in rigid housings, which lack adequate clearance to accommodate device expansion.
■ Operation in circuits with a large inductance can generate a circuit voltage (Ldi/dt) above the rated voltage of the device.
