    Abstract: An over-current protection device includes a resistor element, an outer electrode, and an encapsulation layer. The resistor element has a first insulation layer, a first electrically conductive layer, a PTC material layer, a second electrically conductive layer and a second insulation layer stacked sequentially from bottom to top. The first insulation layer has a bottom surface and a first sidewall adjoining the bottom surface. The outer electrode has a first electrode and a second electrode disposed on the bottom surface. The first and second electrodes are electrically connected to the first conductive layer through the first and second vias, respectively. The encapsulation layer covers the first sidewall of the first insulation layer and extends to a part of the bottom surface, thereby forming a first perimeter on the bottom surface of the first insulation layer. The first and second electrodes are located inside the first perimeter.

    Abstract: An over-current protection device includes an electrode layer and a heat-sensitive layer. The heat-sensitive layer exhibits a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) characteristic, and is laminated between a top metal layer and a bottom metal layer of the electrode layer. The heat-sensitive layer includes a polymer matrix and a conductive filler. The polymer matrix includes a first fluoropolymer and a second fluoropolymer. The weight average molecular weight of the second fluoropolymer ranges from 630000 g/mol to 1100000 g/mol. The conductive filler is dispersed in the polymer matrix, thereby forming an electrically conductive path in the heat-sensitive layer.

    Abstract: An over-current protection device includes a first metal layer, a second metal layer and a heat-sensitive layer laminated therebetween. The heat-sensitive layer exhibits a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) characteristic and includes a first polymer and a conductive filler. The first polymer consists of polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF), and PVDF exists in different phases such as α-PVDF, β-PVDF and γ-PVDF. The total amount of α-PVDF, β-PVDF and γ-PVDF is calculated as 100%, and the amount of α-PVDF accounts for 48% to 55%. The conductive filler has a metal-ceramic compound.

    Abstract: A cable comprises a power conductor, a data conductor and a first PTC device. The power conductor is configured to transmit electrical power between a source and a sink. The data conductor is configured to transmit data between the source and the sink. The first PTC device is coupled to the data conductor and its resistance increases drastically to decrease current flowing through the data conductor if a temperature of the first PTC device exceeds a first trip temperature. The first trip temperature is 55-80° C. The resistance of the PTC device is larger than 20 kΩ at 85° C. and larger than 80 kΩ at 100° C. A current flowing through the data conductor does not exceed 20 mA.
