Product Description

MZ4 series PTC thermistors are used in various types of fluorescent lamps, electronic ballasts and electronic energy-saving lamps as preheating-starting components. Preheating of the electrodes lengthens the life of the lamps and the number of switching cycles significantly.


Specification

Product Name: MZ4 PTC Thermistor
R25 : 600-800Ω±25%
Diameter : 4mm
Non-action current : 75-120℃
Max voltage : 300V-800V
Application : Electronic ballasts, energy-saving lamps
Color : Green or Yellow

Features

Silent Operation: Compared to traditional electromagnetic relays, PTCs operate without arcing or noise.

Anti-vibration: The lack of mechanical contacts eliminates reliability issues caused by contact vibration.

High Reliability: Suitable for harsh environments (such as vibration and oily environments) and boasts a long service life.

Low Cost: Simple structure, offering an extremely high cost-effectiveness.

Application

Single-phase motor starting: such as washing machine motors, water pump motors, and fan motors.

CFL and LED driver power supplies: Acts as a surge suppressor, limiting the inrush current to the filter capacitor at startup, protecting the rectifier bridge and fuse.

Transformer demagnetization: The principle is similar to that of a demagnetization circuit, providing a decaying current.

MZ2 PTC Thermistor

PTC thermistors are electronic components whose resistance increases significantly with increasing temperature. They exhibit self-healing properties, rapidly switching to a high-resistance state in the event of overcurrent or overheating, automatically disconnecting the circuit. They also automatically reset themselves after the fault is resolved. They are widely used in circuit protection, motor starting, and temperature sensing.

PTC Thermistors For Electronic Ballasts And Energy-Saving Lamps

PTC thermistors are core components for safe, reliable, and long-life preheating and starting in energy-saving lamps and ballasts. Their unique temperature-resistance characteristics enable fully automatic, contactless preheating and control, playing a vital role in improving the overall performance and reliability of lighting products.

PTC Thermistors For Overcurrent And Overheat Protection

PTC thermistors, used for overcurrent and overheat protection, are unique positive temperature coefficient thermistors that play a crucial protective role in modern electronic circuits. Their core function is to utilize their inherent nonlinear resistance-temperature characteristics to rapidly transition from a low-resistance state to a high-resistance state when an abnormal overcurrent or overtemperature occurs in a circuit, automatically shutting off the fault current and protecting subsequent precision components. Once the fault is resolved and the circuit is powered off and cooled, the thermistor automatically returns to its low-resistance state, restoring normal operation without the need for manual replacement.
