Tyco

Electronics,

a

pioneer

of

polymeric

positive

temperature coefficient resettable devices, has developed

several material platforms to help protect battery

applications. Each of these material platforms offers

different

performance

characteristics,

allowing

the

engineer greater design flexibility. PolySwitch devices

for battery protection include SRP, LTP, LR4, VTP, VLP,

VLR and MXP series, disc, and special application strap

devices.
