PPTC resettable fuses for high operating temperature/high operating current applications

Bourns, Inc. introduces its Multifuse Model MF-RHS High-Temperature Radial Leaded PPTC Resettable Fuse Series. Its’ new fuse series answers the demand for more comprehensive high-temperature PPTC protection solutions that satisfy increased working temperature and high-power rating necessities for a wide range of equipment, especially in motor and industrial applications.

The new Model MF-RHS Series is based on the company’s advanced design, increasing resettable fuse performance and supporting an operating temperature range of up to 125C. Performance enhancements comprise an elevated 100A maximum current rating (Imax), including a hold current rating range (Ihold) from 3.5A to 13A at 16V maximum rated voltage and enhanced resistance stability in a smaller PPTC chip size. The series’ smaller package dimension and low power dissipation can also help improve overall power application efficiency.

The series is available now and is RoHS-compliant and halogen-free. The series is also UL and CSA-recognised and the products are manufactured in one of the company’s IATF 16949-certified facilities.
