This quick reference guide describes TE Circuit Protection’s products for automotive applications. These circuit protection devices help provide protection for overcurrent, overvoltage, and PCB trace ...

Overvoltage protection of AC power lines is a common practice, which encompasses a variety of protection circuit solutions. Most designs are cost-driven and tend to use only the bare minimum of ...

Do you know the facts about circuit protection, or have you just been relying on what you hear around the shop? As an electrical contractor, system designer, plant electrician, or electrical inspector ...

If a motor isn't adequately protected, a short circuit will likely result in premature replacement. Then there's the problem of nuisance tripping upon initial start-up because the magnetic setting of ...

An overload or short circuit in a fuse or mini circuit breaker can lead to undersupply or failure of an entire 24-V dc power-supply system. Selectivity protection using an electronic fuse offers a ...

Dow Inc. DOW recently launched the Dowsil CC-2588 Conformal Coating, a tough, abrasion-resistant silicone-based protective material for printed circuit boards (PCBs) and electronic components that ...

Several types of devices are employed in electronic systems to protect against voltage transients, power surges, and excessive voltage or current. Varistors is one of those devices that protect ...

My introduction to circuit protection came at the tender age of eight. Being a curious lad with an inventive – and apparently self-destructive – bent, I decided to make my mother a lamp. I put a hose ...

It can be important to balance dielectric strength and thermal performance when deciding on coatings for insulation and heat ...

We’re used to interfaces such as I2C and one-wire as easy ways to hook up sensors and other peripherals to microcontrollers. While they’re fine within the confines of a small project, they do have a ...
