Hot-swap circuits are among those measures put in place to protect equipment or personnel, or both. Some power supplies, for example, have built-in and adjustable current limiting (standard in ...

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced a new series of insulated, surface-mount inrush current limiting ...

Here at Hackaday we really like to feature projects that push the limits of what’s possible, or ones that feature some new and exciting technology that nobody has ever seen before. So what’s so ...

This current-limiting circuit, shown in this example as part of a small bench power supply, could in principle be used in conjunction with any dual-rail current source. The part of the circuit to the ...

Adding a clamp circuit to the well known current-limiter protects the "pass" transistor from over-currents when load faults occur. Most readers are probably familiar with two-terminal current-limiting ...

At a power-on cycle, inrush current, if not limited, can peak to tens of even hundreds of amps when capacitive load is present, thereby increasing the probability of failure and decreasing usable ...

Not that this happens often, but what do you do when faced with a repair where you don’t know the power source but you do know you have to drive LED backlighting? When faced with this dilemma [Eric ...

Littelfuse claims that its CPC1561B Solid State Relay (SSR) is the highest current (1 A, 60 V) normally-open SSR currently available on the market to integrate both current limiting and thermal ...

Designed and dual-rated for AC and DC applications, the Eaton FAZ-NA and FAZ-NA-L series current-limiting miniature circuit breakers from AutomationDirect offer protection for application with up to ...

Vishay has introduced a new series of insulated, surface-mount inrush current limiting positive temperature coefficient ...
