TE Connectivity has provided PPTC resettable devices for the automotive industry for more than 25 years. With the advent of TS16949 and TE's continued involvement in the automotive industry, TE has developed automotive specific versions of our PolySwitch PPTC devices (AHS, ASMD, AHRF, AHEF, AGRF and BD). These products are qualified and sold under PS400 specification which is derived from AEC-Q200, the standard for electronic components used in the automotive industry. The key difference between these product families and other protection devices in the TE circuit protection product portfolio is the qualification process followed according to a series of rigorous tests related to the automotive environment. As a result, they are characterized by specific additional values determined post automotive related testing.
