PolySwitch Mini-Terminal Bladed Device For Automotive Applications

The PolySwitch BD280 mini-terminal bladed device is suitable for one-to-one replacement of plug-in automotive mini fuses and bimetal circuit breakers. The device offers a no-moving-parts design, and a resistance switching action that immediately latches following an overcurrent event.

The solid-state design of the PolySwitch device, as opposed to the multi-part mechanical design of the bimetal device, provides significant advantages in automotive applications. The devices' resettable functionality, high resistance to shock, vibration and rough handling, lower surface temperature and power dissipation, and flatter thermal derating can help vehicle manufacturers reduce warranty repair costs and improve user satisfaction. Suitable for use in North American trucks, utility or off-road vehicles and worldwide passenger cars utilizing 12V battery systems, the resettable device helps prevent damage caused by overloads and short circuits.
