The Littelfuse 0402L Series PTC is a resettable overcurrent protection device designed for surface mount applications where space is limited. This low-profile device offers fast response to fault currents, is RoHS compliant, and compatible with high-temperature solders. It's ideal for protecting USB peripherals, PDAs, game console ports, disk drives, and tablet/notebook PCs. The 0402L series is the smallest PTC in the market, offering a compact design that saves board space.
Description: Provides surface mount overcurrent protection for applications where space is at a premium and resettable protection is desired.
