Corporate Murata Making Office (hereinafter referred to as "Company") expands PTC thermistor for smartphones and small wearable equipment overcurrent protection※1(General title: self-recovery fuse※2Product lineup, adding 0603m size (0.6 × 0.3 × 0.3 mm) high-pressure product "PRG03BC181RB7RL"And low resistance products"PRG03BC101RB7RL"(Hereinafter referred to as" this product "). This product has begun to mass production.

With the high functionalization and miniaturization of mobile devices such as smart phones to 5G and fast charging, the demand for small circuit protection components that ensure electronic circuit stability is increasing. Since the PTC thermistor has a sharp rise in resistance, the power resistance rises sharply, thus preventing an abnormality and failure of mobile devices by detecting circuit overcurrent generated at assembly or falling.

This product is in the same size, and the amount of pressure increases by the company, the same size is the same as the traditional product (resistance value of 180Ω, maximum voltage 13V), with the company's traditional product (180Ω, maximum voltage 13V), with the same size. 50%, reached 20V. In addition, the company expands lineup of 100Ω low resistance product line. Stable properties can be maintained for a long time by using the company's unique ceramic material.

In the future, the company will continue to expand product lineup to meet market demand and contribute to improve mobile equipment.

  • ※1
    PTC thermistor: Abbreviation for Positive Temperature Coefficient Thermistor. The use is when the temperature rises, the resistance value has risen sharply after a certain temperature, and the circuit is protected from overcurrent by detecting overcurrent of the electronic circuit.Please refer to you more information.
  • ※2Self-recovery fuse: fuse when an overcurrent is generated due to misconception or short circuit, to protect the circuit. After the overcurrent disappears, it will automatically return to the original state and can be reused.
