    The document discusses polyfuse, also known as a polymeric positive temperature coefficient (PPTC) device. A PPTC is a self-resetting fuse that functions as an overcurrent protection device for circuits. It is constructed as a thermister element in a circuit that increases in resistance when the temperature rises due to excessive current. PPTC fuses have advantages over other fuse types as they are resettable, compact, and have low resistance and cost. Common applications of PPTC fuses include battery protection, IC protection, and protection of computer peripherals and electrical equipment.
