A cable comprises a power conductor, a data conductor and a first PTC device. The power conductor is configured to transmit electrical power between a source and a sink. The data conductor is configured to transmit data between the source and the sink. The first PTC device is coupled to the data conductor and its resistance increases drastically to decrease current flowing through the data conductor if a temperature of the first PTC device exceeds a first trip temperature. The first trip temperature is 55-80&#xb0; C. The resistance of the PTC device is larger than 20 k&#x3a9; at 85&#xb0; C. and larger than 80 k&#x3a9; at 100&#xb0; C. A current flowing through the data conductor does not exceed 20 mA.

Cable with over-temperature protection

An over-current protection device comprises a PTC device, first and second electrodes, a first welding metal plate and a second welding metal plate. The PTC device comprises a first conductive layer, at second conductive layer and a PTC polymeric material layer laminated therebetween. The first electrode electrically connects to the first conductive layer. The second electrode electrically connects to the second conductive layer and is separated from the first electrode. The first welding metal plate is formed on an upper surface of the device and connects to the first electrode. The second welding metal plate is formed on the upper surface or a lower surface of the device and connects to the second electrode. The first and second welding metal plates are placed at two opposite ends of the strip-like structure, and each of them has a thickness sufficient to withstand spot-welding without significant resultant damage to the PTC device.

Over-current protection device

An anti-surge over-current protection device comprises a PTC material layer, first and second conductive layers. The PTC material layer has opposite first and second planar surfaces. The first conductive layer is in physical contact with the first planar surface and comprises a plurality of first conductive members isolated from each other. The second conductive layer is in physical contact with the second planar surface, and comprises a plurality of second conductive members isolated from each other. The first conductive layer, the PTC material layer and the second conductive layer form a circuit containing first and second conductive paths. In the first conductive path, the PTC material layer forms a first series connection resistive component having at least two resistors. In the second conductive path, the PTC material layer forms a second series connection resistive component having at least two resistors.
