Of course when there is a fault, it behooves one to register it so that the problem can be corrected. |
Problem with Polyfuses is how do you mount
them in an airplane? They have to be free
to get hot . . . that's what triggers their
current reduction behavior. They're designed
to solder onto an etched circuit board.

Mounting them in a mechanically robust configuration
while letting the body of the device hang out
in the breeze is problematic.
I was tasked twice to look at Polyfuses at
Beech over the years . . . they just didn't
lend themselves to airframe integration. Inside
some black box was okay . . . but we just couldn't
figure a way to use them economically on the
bus structures.
