PolySwitch Resettable Devices
Automotive Devices
We have provided PPTC resettable devices for the
automotive industry for over 25 years. With the advent
of TS16949 and our continued involvement in the
automotive industry, TE Circuit Protection developed
automotive-specic versions of our PolySwitch PPTC
devices (the nanoASMDC, microASMD, miniASMDC,
AHS, ASMD, AHRF, AHEF, AGRF and BD families).
These products are qualified and sold under the
PS400 specication which is derived from AEC-Q200,
the standard for electronic components used in the
automotive industry. The key difference between these
product families and other protection devices in our
circuit protection product portfolio is the qualication
process that is followed that includes a series of rigorous
tests related to the automotive environment. As a result,
they are characterized by specic additional values
determined following automotive-related testing.
