  • Patent number: 7203049
    Abstract: The over-current protection device of the present invention uses the unbalanced properties of the thermal expansion coefficients between the outer and inner sides for an upper metallic conductive sheet and a lower metallic conductive sheet to generate a torque to deform outwardly. The torque is used to pull a current-sensing element and present with at least a cracking face, so as to introduce an electrically open effect similar to a fuse. Thus, the present invention can achieve the object for preventing the danger of circuit system by the short circuit during the burning of over-current protection device.

  • Patent number: 6895660
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a manufacturing method of an over-current protection device, characterized in that the PTC plaque is conducted by punching under frozen state to form the over-current protection devices so as to reduce the heating and temperature rising in the PTC plaque due to punching and temperature difference between the metal foil and the conductive composite material. Relatively, the deformation and stress of the over-current protection device caused by punching will also be reduced. Therefore, there is no need for additional process to increase the temperature sensitivity and electrical property stability of the over-current protection device.

  • Patent number: 6853527
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an over-current protection apparatus for high voltage, which connects the ceramic current-sensing element and polymer current-sensing element in series to form a novel over-current protection apparatus. By the characteristic of the polymer current-sensing element having higher switching off speed, the invention first responds to the over-current by raising its temperature, and then the heat is thermally conducted through the adhesive layer to the ceramic current-sensing element, resulting in a voltage drop produced by the over-current partially or predominantly received by the ceramic current-sensing element. Thus, the over-current protection device of the invention not only can endure high voltage (>600V), but also will not exhibit a negative temperature coefficient phenomenon.
