  • Publication number: 20240177893
    Abstract: An over-current protection device includes a heat-sensitive layer and an electrode layer. The electrode layer includes a top metal layer and a bottom metal layer, and the heat-sensitive layer attached therebetween. The heat-sensitive layer exhibits a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) characteristic and includes a polymer matrix and a conductive filler. The polymer matrix includes a polyolefin-based homopolymer and a polyolefin-based copolymer. The polyolefin-based homopolymer has a first coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), and the polyolefin-based copolymer has a second CTE lower than the first CTE. The polyolefin-based homopolymer and the polyolefin-based copolymer together form an interpenetrating polymer network (IPN).

  • Patent number: 11990258
    Abstract: An over-current protection device includes first and second electrode layers and a PTC material layer laminated therebetween. The PTC material layer includes a polymer matrix, a conductive filler, and a titanium-containing dielectric filler. The polymer matrix has a fluoropolymer. The titanium-containing dielectric filler has a compound represented by a general formula of MTiO3, wherein the M represents transition metal or alkaline earth metal. The total volume of the PTC material layer is calculated as 100%, and the titanium-containing dielectric filler accounts to for 5-15% by volume of the PTC material layer.

  • Patent number: 8753096
    Abstract: A compressor overload protection device utilizes a first electrode of an electric connector to electrically connect a first OLP overload protection loop that is electrically connected to a first power line of an external power source. In addition, a second OLP overload protection loop is connected to a second electrode and a third electrode of the electric connector, and a capacitor is electrically connected between the third electrode and the first electrode. When the operation of the compressor is overloaded, the first and second OLP overload protection loop can provide proper protection mechanism with respect to the first power line and the second power line to prevent a motor of the compressor from being overheated and damaged, and the electrodes of the electric connector can be effectively prevented from exploding.
