Ohmic resistors are generally employed to limit the current when charging capacitors. This, however, is accompanied by technical risks. If, for example, the capacitor short circuits or the relay has a ...

Vishay has introduced an automotive-rated series of positive temperature coefficient (PTC) in-rush current thermistors that can absorb up to 340J, designed for dc link charging and energy discharge ...

Vishay Intertechnology VSH expanded its PTCEL series with the launch of new inrush current limiting positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistors. These devices offer high voltage and energy ...

Additional members of B5910XJ family of PTC inrush current limiters for power supplies retain comparable electrical properties to their predecessors, however they get a boost in heat capacity from 2 J ...

Resistors are one of the fundamental components used in electronic circuits. They do one thing: resist the flow of electrical current. There is more than one way to skin a cat, and there is more than ...
