protect electrical circuits against overcurrent conditions with resettable feature, is fully
compatible with current industrial standards.
l The new designed SMD2920 Series provides surface mount overcurrent protection with
superior performance.
l Application: The SMD2920 Series is ideal for computers and peripherals and can be applied to
almost anywhere there is a low voltage power supply and a load to be protected.
l The solder plated termination is designed to meet or exceed solderability specifications and
provide excellent solder joint inspectability.
l Agency Approval: UL File # E201431.
CSA File # CA115375-1

Note: I hold = Hold current: maximum current device will pass without tripping in 20℃ still air.
I trip = Trip current: minimum current at which the device will trip in 20℃ still air.
Vmax = Maximum voltage device can withstand without damage at rated current (I max )
I max = Maximum fault current device can withstand without damage at rated voltage (Vmax )
Pd = Power dissipated from device when in the tripped state at 20℃ still air.
R min= Minimum resistance of device in initial (un-soldered) state.
R 1max= Maximum resistance of device at 20℃ measured one hour after tripping or reflow soldering of 260℃ for 20 sec.
Caution: Operation beyond the specified rating may result in damage and possible arcing and flame.

How to Select a Polymer PTC fuse:

(1) Determine the following operating parameters for the circuits:
(A) Normal Operating Current (I hold)
(B) Maximum Circuit Voltage (V max)
(C) Maximum Interrupt Current (I max)
(D) Normal Operating Temperature (min℃/max℃)
(2) Select the device form factor and dimension suitable for the application:
Surface Mount Device (SMD Series)
Radial Leaded Device (RLD Series)
Axial Leaded Strap Device (STD Series)
Other Custom-designed Device (Disc/Chip)
(3) Compare the maximum ratings for V max and I max of the PTC device with
the circuit in application and make sure that the circuit’s requirement does
not exceed the device ratings.
(4) Check that the PTC device’s trip time (time-to-trip) will protect the circuit.
(5) Verify that the circuit operating temperatures are within the PTC device’s
normal operating temperature range.
(6) Verify the performance and suitability of the chosen PTC device in the
application.
