AUTOMOTIVE PTC THERMISTOR DEVICES


PTC thermistors are insensitive to voltage fluctuations and can be
operated on any voltage supplies from 12V-230V. Because of this
versatility, many applications in the automotive industry are being
developed with PTC thermistors as primary components for heating,
protecting, and sensing purposes.

Innovative automotive component designs using PTC thermistors are
surfacing rapidly and we are working closely with a number of auto
component suppliers to meet the increasing demands. Projects currently
in the developmental phase are listed in the applications section below:
