PolySwitch Telecommunications and Networking Resettable Devices
Selection Table for Telecommunications and Networking Devices
Step 1.
Review the Protection Application Guide on page 287
which is based on the agency specification required to
qualify the final equipment.
Use the selection guide to narrow your product selection based on key
device characteristics.
Step 2.
Verify that the PolySwitch device hold current will accom-
modate the telecommunications circuit’s maximum ambi-
ent temperature and normal operating current.
Look across the top of the thermal derating table T2 on page 290 to
find the temperature that most closely matches the circuit’s maximum
operating temperature. Look down that column to find the value equal
to or greater than the circuit’s normal operating current. Now look to
the far left of that row to find the part number for the PolySwitch
telecommunications device that will best accommodate the circuit.
Note: The thermal derating curves in Figure T1 on page 291 are the
normalized representations of the data in the thermal derating table.

Step 3.
Verify that the time-to-trip characteristic of the chosen
device meets the protection requirements of the
telecommunications equipment circuit.
Time-to-trip is the amount of time it takes for a device to switch to a
high resistance state once a fault current has been applied across the
device. Identifying the PolySwitch device’s time-to-trip is important in
order to provide the desired protection capabilities. If the device you
choose trips too fast, undesired or nuisance tripping will occur. If the
device trips too slowly, the components being protected may be
damaged before the device switches to a high resistance state.
Refer to typical time-to-trip curves (Figures T11-16) on pages 297-299
for each of the PolySwitch devices. If the PolySwitch device’s time-to-
trip is too fast or too slow for the circuit, go back to Step 2 and choose
an alternate device.
Step 4.
Verify ambient operating condition.
Ensure that your application’s minimum and maximum ambient
temperatures are within the operating temperature range of -40°C
to 85°C.
Step 5.
Independently evaluate and test the device.
PolySwitch devices assist your telecommunications equipment in
meeting agency requirements. To confirm your selection, independent-
ly evaluate and test the device to the application requirements.

*These devices have a maximum operating voltage of 72V
**Voltage Rating for Telecommunications and Networking Devices is dependent upon the nature of the fault conditions. See below for details
Voltage Ratings for Telecommunications and Networking Devices
For Raychem Circuit Protection
telecommunications devices (TC,
TGC, TRx, TSx series) there are
two applicable voltage ratings.
These are
V
MAX
Operating
and
V
MAX
Interrupt.
To help under-
stand the nature of these two dif-
ferent voltage ratings the
following definitions are provided:
V
MAX
Interrupt:
Under specified
conditions this is the highest volt-
age that can be applied to the
device at the maximum current.
Devices have been designed to
trip safely under higher power
level cross condtions, as listed
above, to assist equipment in
meeting the appropriate industry
conditions.
V
MAX
Operating:
For telecommu-
nications devices this is the volt-
age we have used to obtain
component recognition under
UL1434. Raychem Circuit
Protection devices (TC, TGC,
TRx, TSx series) are recognized
at 60V but can withstand higher
V
MAX
interrupt
conditions as
noted above.
