Publication number: 20060051588Abstract: An electrical device includes two electrodes and a conductive polymer layer, containing a mixture of a polymer and a conductive filler, separating the electrodes. A oxygen barrier material containing a thermosetting polymer component is present on the exposed surface of the conductive polymer layer that is not in contact with the laminar electrodes. The oxygen barrier material may be a polyamine-polyepoxide material, and may provide for acceptable barrier properties over a wide range of humidity levels.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 3, 2004Publication date: March 9, 2006Applicant: Tyco Electronics CorporationInventor: Matthew Galla

Publication number: 20050200447Abstract: A surface mount circuit protection device includes a laminar PTC resistive element having first and second major surfaces and a thickness therebetween. A first electrode layer substantially coextensive the first surface is formed of a first metal material of a type adapted to be soldered to a printed circuit substrate. A second electrode layer formed at the second major surface includes structure forming or defining a weld plate. The metal weld plate has a thermal mass and thickness capable of withstanding resistance micro spot welding of a strap interconnect without significant resultant damage to the device. The device is preferably surface mounted to a printed circuit board assembly forming a battery protection circuit connected to a battery/cell by battery strap interconnects, wherein one of the battery strap interconnects is micro spot welded to the weld plate of the device.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2004Publication date: September 15, 2005Inventors: Daniel Chandler, Matthew Galla

Publication number: 20050030689Abstract: A circuit protection device suitable for welding to a battery terminal or other substrate without adverse affects caused by weld splatter. The device contains a laminar PTC resistive element, e.g. made from a conductive polymer composition, sandwiched between first and second electrodes. A first electrical lead has a first attachment portion having an attachment surface which is attached to the first electrode, a first connection portion which can be connected to an electrical circuit and is spaced away from the PTC element, and a first barrier portion. The first barrier portion is positioned on the first lead between the first attachment and first connection portions and extends toward the second electrode. During resistance welding, the barrier portion prevents weld splatter from contacting the PTC resistive element.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 14, 2004Publication date: February 10, 2005Inventors: James Toth, Naofumi Miyasaka, Matthew Galla
