Archives - Circuit Protection Market Reports

This study analyzes the global market for surge resistor networks, otherwise known as line feed resistors. These palladium/silver on ceramic devices have low ohmic value and excellent transient clamping capabilities and are used in a variety of telecommunications infrastructure designs with emphasis upon subscriber line interface cards. Line feed resistors are usually sold in conjunction with gas tubes and polymer PTC thermistors. The gas tube provides primary protection at the service entrance, while line feed resistors and PPTC thermistors are used as secondary protection against overcurrent and overvoltage respectively on the subscriber line interface card. Other telecom and industrial applications are discussed in the report. Value, volume and ASP for these products is discussed and forecasted and changes in the supply chain, technology with respect to metallization, competitive analysis, sales and market shares and forecasts to 2008.

This study analyzes the global market for gas discharge tube arrester components which are used as primary overvoltage protection in telecommunications and CATV infrastructure applications, including central office and station class arresters. GDT's have the capability of handling high voltages and have low inductance which makes them perfect for protection of telecom, datacom and CATV lines. GDT's are very popular in Europe and Asia and are making a come-back in the USA; however, the market is under assault by rival Thyristor technology. The study offers value and volume of demand, average unit pricing, competitive analysis, demand by end-use market segment, sales and market shares and forecasts to 2008. ISBN # 1-893211-32-0 (2004).

This study addresses the global market for Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistors, which are used as sen=ors in automotive HVAC systems, and various white goods and smaller home appliances. The study offers value and volume of demand and average unit price trends and directions. A competitive analysis is offered as well as forecasts to 2008. ISBN # 1-893211-29-0 (2004).

This study addresses the global market for electronic fuses, including mixed metal oxide solid matrix fuse chips; glass cartridge fuses, blade fuses and industrial class fuses. The study covers all aspects of the market including value and volume of demand, consumption by type and end-use market segment (automotive, industrial, consumer) and by world region. The study includes a competitive analysis, sales and market shares and forecasts to 2008. ISBN # 1-893211-35-5 (2004).
