It consists of a polymer loaded with carbon particles. An excessive current causes it to heat up and the polymer to expand so that the carbon particles are no longer in contact. As a result, the current can no longer flow until it's allowed to cool down. See Polyfuses in..."

This is undesirable in a transformer or an inductor as its performance is then reduced. But in digital magnetic recording (in a hard disk or a digital tape) the surface is deliberately saturated in order to reliably record ones and zeros." current Tag: Visual edit

In this condition there is excess charge in the collector region, and this has to drain away before the transistor will switch off again. This limits the speed at which it can switch, and so saturation is a condition designers try to avoid."

A computer connected to more than one network or a router has a NIC for each network, and each must have its own IPAddress."
