Patent number: 9679683Abstract: An over-current protection device comprises a PTC device and a first external lead. The PTC device comprises first and second conductive layers and a PTC material layer laminated therebetween. The first conductive layer forms an upper surface of the PTC device. The first external lead has a lower surface soldered to the first conductive layer. The lower surface is provided with a plurality of protrusions of which tops are in direct contact with the first conductive layer to form a gap between the first external lead and the first conductive layer. Solder paste fills the gap to form an electrically conductive connecting layer. The over-current protection device may further comprise a second external lead with protrusions soldered to the second conductive layer to form an axial-lead or a radial-lead type device.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2015Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: POLYTRONICS TECHNOLOGY CORP.Inventors: Tsungmin Su, Pao Hsuan Chen, Chao Wei Fang

Patent number: 7852192Abstract: The over-current protection device of the present invention can be used for over-current protection to PCM. The over-current protection device comprises a PTC device, at least one insulation layer; at least one electrode layer and at least one conductive channel. The insulation layer is placed on a surface of the PTC device, and the electrode layer is formed on the insulation layer afterwards. As a result, the insulation layer is between the electrode layer and the PTC device. The electrode layer serves as a surface of the over-current protection device. The conductive channel electrically connects the PTC device and the electrode layer. In an embodiment, the conductive channel is a blind hole penetrating through the electrode layer and the insulation layer and ending at the surface of the PTC device, and the surface of the blind hole is coated with a conductive layer to electrically connect the PTC device and the electrode layer.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2007Date of Patent: December 14, 2010Assignee: Polytronics Technology CorporationInventors: Ching Han Yu, David Shau Chew Wang, Pao Hsuan Chen

Patent number: 7708912Abstract: A variable impedance composition according to one aspect of the present invention comprises a high electro-magnetic permeability powder in an amount from 10% to 85% of the weight of the variable impedance composition, and an insulation adhesive in an amount from 10% to 30% of the weight of the variable impedance composition. The incorporation of high electro-magnetic permeability powder including carbonyl metal, such as carbonyl iron or carbonyl nickel, in the variable impedance composition can not only suppress the overstress voltage, but also dampen the transient current. In contrast to the conventional electrostatic discharge (ESD) device, the relatively high electro-magnetic permeability carbonyl metal powder can reduce arcing as well as lower the trigger voltage of the device. The high electro-magnetic permeability characteristics can also absorb the undesirable electro-magnetic radiation that causes corruption of signal and loss of data.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2008Date of Patent: May 4, 2010Assignee: Polytronics Technology CorporationInventors: Pao Hsuan Chen, David Shau Chew Wang, Tong Cheng Tsai

Publication number: 20090224213Abstract: A variable impedance composition according to this aspect of the present invention comprises a conductive powder in an amount from 10% to 30% of the weight of the variable impedance composition, a semi-conductive power in an amount from 30% to 90% of the weight of the variable impedance composition, and an insulation adhesive in an amount from 3% to 50% of the weight of the variable impedance composition. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the variable impedance material presents a high resistance at a low applied voltage and a low resistance at a high applied voltage. As the variable impedance material is positioned in a gap between two conductors of an over-voltage protection device, the over-voltage protection device as a whole presents a high resistance to a low voltage applied across the gap and a low resistance to a high voltage applied across the gap.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2008Publication date: September 10, 2009Applicant: POLYTRONICS TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Pao Hsuan Chen, David Shau Chew Wang, Ching Han Yu, Tong Cheng Tsai
