A History of Product Innovation

Innovation has been part of our history since 1980 and started with the use of a polymeric positive temperature coefficient (PPTC) device as a variable resistor for battery protection. Today Tyco Electronics is a global leader in PPTC resettable device technology, and we have broadened our product portfolio to become a more complete circuit protection solution provider.

We design, manufacture, and market a complete line of PolySwitch™ resettable overcurrent devices, Fast Acting fuses, Slow Blow fuses, Telecom fuses, SiBar™ thyristor surge protectors, GDT (Gas Discharge Tubes), ROV (Metal Oxide Varistors), ESD protection devices, 2Pro™ devices and PolyZen™ micro-assemblies.

Recognized as a leader for operational excellence and customer service, we offer a dedicated direct engineering sales force, worldwide manufacturing and design centers, and local engineering support. This allows us to think globally and act locally.
