Market position
It is well known as NTC Thermistor and varistor manufacturer in Taiwan, as well as the first public listed cooperation in Taiwan's protective component industry. Alone with the PC industry raising from 1980' in Taiwan, its NTC thermistor is adapted as the Inrush current limiterInrush current limiter
An inrush current limiter is a component used to limit inrush current to avoid gradual damage to components and avoid tripping the supply's fuse or circuit breaker. Negative temperature coefficient thermistors and fixed resistors are often used for this. Less often, other components are also used...
