“Komatsulite has a long, proven history of developing mini-breaker technology to meet the overtemperature and overcurrent protection needs of battery-powered applications. Our mini-breakers innovatively combine a bi-metal fuse and a polymeric positive temperature coefficient (PTC) device in one package, providing several advantages over either technology on its own,” said Yoichi Yoshimura, President at Komatsulite.
