We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Circuit breakers",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Resettable switch protects automotive electronics from
Raychem Circuit Protection, which we summarised at the time by saying "The PolySwitch bladed contact device features a 2.8mm form factor to facilitate easy, one-to-one replacement of mini-sized fuses and Type II bimetal circuit protection devices in
12V vehicle systems".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Digital multimeter offers new options from
Agilent Technologies Europe: "Agilent's U1240A enables users to observe open/close switch behaviours in the presence of intermittent signals".
In August 2007, we covered the news from Schurter
concerning its T9 series
- take a look at Thermal circuit breaker adds mounting options
which says: "Fuseholder-style single-pole thermal circuit breaker is now optionally available with threaded-neck and snap-in versions for rear mounting".
Take a look also at the news release from E-T-A Circuit Breakers, Breaker board protects equipment racks,
as well as Contacts save space for onboard docking from ITT Electronic Components,
and Switching breakers snap into place from Schurter.
