16R1500SGPR

Ptc Resettable Fuses Overview

The Littelfuse 16R1500SGPR is a POLY-FUSE resettable PTC device rated for 16 VDC maximum voltage and 15 A hold current. It features an 8.5 A trip current threshold and a maximum resistance of 34 mOhms after tripping, with a minimum initial resistance of 15 mOhms. The component supports a maximum fault current of 100 A and dissipates up to 2.6 W of power. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and utilizes a radial through-hole package measuring 14.3 mm in length, 10.4 mm in width, and 3 mm in height.

Ptc Resettable Fuses Feature Summary

• Provides automatic circuit protection by increasing resistance during overcurrent conditions
• Enables manual or automatic reset once the fault condition is removed and the device cools
• Designed for surface mounting on printed circuit boards using a radial lead configuration

Ptc Resettable Fuses Applications

• Overcurrent protection for portable electronic devices
• Protection circuits for automotive electronics
• Circuit safeguarding in industrial control systems
• Power supply input protection for consumer appliances

Ptc Resettable Fuses Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix GPR corresponds to the required tape and reel packaging format rather than cut tape or bulk quantities. Confirm RoHS compliance status and REACH registration details against the latest manufacturer documentation. Ensure the ordering quantity aligns with the standard factory pack size of 2,000 units to match production requirements. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to confirm coating material specifications are current.

Ptc Resettable Fuses Selection Notes

Select this component when a high hold current of 15 A is required within a low voltage system limited to 16 VDC. The radial lead design facilitates easy insertion into PCB layouts requiring through-hole mounting. Consider the thermal characteristics and power dissipation limits to ensure reliable operation under continuous load conditions without nuisance tripping.

Ptc Resettable Fuses Part Context

This part belongs to the POLY-FUSE 16R series, which offers resettable protection solutions for low-voltage applications. The series provides various hold current options to suit different circuit demands while maintaining a compact footprint. These devices serve as alternatives to traditional fuses by eliminating the need for replacement after a fault event occurs.

Ptc Resettable Fuses Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 16V 15A radial PTC fuses from Littelfuse such as the 16R1500S. Verify that alternative components match the 16VDC rating, 15A hold current, and radial package dimensions to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.
