Features

1. Specific Curie Temperature:

The Curie point of a PTC for degaussing is typically designed between 50°C and 60°C. This temperature is well below the damage threshold for the PTC itself or surrounding components, yet ensures a significant change in resistance within a very short period of time.

2. Extremely High Initial Cold Resistance:

At room temperature (cold state), its resistance is very low, typically only a few ohms to tens of ohms. This allows for a very strong surge current (up to 10 amps or more) to be generated at power-up, creating a powerful alternating decaying magnetic field for degaussing.

3. Rapid Temperature-Resistance Change Characteristics:

After power is applied, the strong current causes the PTC to rapidly heat up within 0.5 seconds to several seconds, exceeding its Curie point. Once the Curie point is exceeded, its resistance increases dramatically (to several thousand ohms), quickly limiting the current to a very low level (typically less than 1 mA).

4. Self-Heating & Self-Holding:

After demagnetization, the PTC thermistor remains in a high-resistance state, relying on a small holding current to maintain its high temperature and high resistance. The heat generated by this holding current balances with the ambient temperature (heat dissipation), stabilizing its temperature near the Curie point.

5. Auto-Resetting:

When the device is turned off and power is disconnected for a period of time (usually several minutes), the PTC thermistor cools down and its resistance automatically returns to its initial cold, low-resistance state, preparing for demagnetization upon the next power-on.

Application

Secondhand Market and Old Equipment Maintenance: A large number of CRT devices are still in use.

Industrial and Professional Fields: Certain precision instruments, laboratory equipment, and high-precision machine tools still require demagnetization to ensure measurement or processing accuracy, and the principles are similar.

Expanding the Principle: This PTC inrush current characteristic is also used in other starting circuits requiring instantaneous high currents, such as compressor starting devices.

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.
