PolySwitch surface-mount devices are the preferred

circuit protection method for computer, consumer,

multimedia,

portable,

and

automotive

electronics

applications.

In an effort to reduce the size and cost of surface mount

devices, we introduced the miniSMD product series in

1995.

Subsequently,

we

developed

the

microSMD,

nanoSMD and picoSMD family of products. The picoSMD

series reduced the device size to a 2012mm (0805 mils)

foot print, one fourth the size of the popular miniSMD

series.

Recent additions to the PolySwitch surface-mount series

include

24V

miniSMD

4532mm

(1812

mils),

60V

decaSMD 5050mm (2018 mils), and 2.0A microSMD

3225mm (1210 mils) devices.
