PTC’s – Basic Theory of Operation / “Tripped” Resistance Explanation
Fundamentally, a Bel PTC consists of a block of polymeric material containing conductive filler and bonded
between two conductive, planar terminations.
At currents below the device IHOLD rating, AND at temperatures below 100C, the PTC maintains a
resistance value below its R1 MAX rating.
As the device's temperature approaches 130C, either due to an increase in ambient temperature or a
current exceeding its I TRIP rating, volumetric expansion of the filled polymer breaks apart the majority of
conductive pathways across the terminals created by chain contact of adjacent filler particles or device
resistance increases sharply by several orders of magnitude.
At the much higher “Tripped” resistance, there is just enough leakage current to allow internal heating to
“hold” the device in its tripped state (around 125C) until power is interrupted. Once power is removed, the
PTC's core cools and contracts allowing conductive chains to reform and return the device to its low
resistance state.
The catalog data for each device specifies a "Typical Power" value. This is the power required to exactly
match the heat lost by the tripped device to its ambient surroundings at 23C. By Ohm's Law, power can be
stated as: W = E^2/R. Thus the approximate resistance of a “Tripped” PTC can be determined by: R =
E^2/W, where "E" is the voltage appearing across the PTC (usually the supply's open circuit voltage), and
"W" is the Typical Power value for the particular PTC.
Since the PPTC acts to maintain a constant internal temperature, its apparent resistance will change based
upon applied voltage and, to a lesser degree, ambient conditions. Consider the following example....
A PTC with a Typical Power of 1 watt protecting a circuit using a 60V supply will demonstrate an apparent,
tripped resistance "R" of:
R = 60^2/1 = 3,600 ohms
This same tripped device when used to protect a 12V circuit would now present an apparent resistance of:
R = 12^2/1 = 144 ohms
The value for Typical Power is "typical" because any physical factors that affect heat loss (such as ambient
temperature or air convection) will somewhat alter the level of power that the PTC needs to maintain its
internal temperature. In short, PTCs do not exhibit a constant, quantifiable tripped resistance value.

Cautionary Notes
1. Operation beyond the specified maximum ratings
or improper use may result in damage and
possible electrical arcing and/or flame.
2. These Polymer PTC (PPTC) devices are intended
for protection against occasional
overcurrent/overtemperature fault conditions and
may not be suitable for use in applications where
repeated and/or prolonged fault conditions are
anticipated.
3. Avoid contact of PTC device with chemical
solvent. Prolonged contact may adversely impact
the PTC performance.
4. These PTC devices may not be suitable for use in
circuits with a large inductance, as the PTC trip
can generate circuit voltage spikes above the PTC
rated voltage.
5. These devices are intended for use in DC voltage
applications only. Use in AC voltage applications
should be first discussed with Bel Fuse
engineering.
6. Not recommended for use on potted or conformal
coated PCB’s. Restriction of free air flow could
affect electrical performance and/or result in
device failure. Consult Bel Fuse engineering.
7. MSL: 2a (According to IPC J-Std-020).

Solder Reflow
Due to “lead free / RoHS 2 ” construction of these PTC devices , the required Temperature and Dwell Time in the “ Soldering ” zone of the
reflow profile are greater than those used for non-RoHS devices.
1. Recommended reflow methods; IR, vapor phase oven, hot air oven.
2. Not Recommended For Wave Solder / Direct Immersion.
3. Recommended paste thickness range – 0.20 – 0.25mm.
4. Devices are compatible with standard industry cleaning solvents and methods.
5. MSL: 2a (According to IPC J-Std-020).
Caution
If reflow temperature / dwell times exceed the recommended profile, the electrical performance of the PTC may be affected.
