16R600GPR

Ptc Resettable Fuses Overview

The Littelfuse 16R600GPR is a POLY-FUSE PolySwitch resettable PTC device designed for overcurrent protection. It features a radial leaded form factor with PCB mount installation. Key electrical parameters include a maximum voltage rating of 16 V, a hold current of 6 A, and a trip current of 10.2 A. The device has a minimum resistance of 28 mOhms and a power dissipation of 2.8 W. It supports a maximum fault current of 100 A and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Physical dimensions are 17.1 mm in length, 10.7 mm in width, and 3 mm in height, with a lead spacing of 5.1 mm.

Ptc Resettable Fuses Feature Summary

• Provides reliable overcurrent protection by raising resistance as it heats to limit current flow during fault conditions.
• Offers automatic reset functionality after the fault condition is removed and the device cools down.
• Features a compact radial leaded design suitable for direct PCB mounting in space-constrained applications.

Ptc Resettable Fuses Applications

• Protection of circuits, wiring harnesses, and PCB components from overcurrent events.
• Overcurrent protection for automotive actuators, screens, and small motors.
• General-purpose circuit protection in telecom and power supply applications.

Ptc Resettable Fuses Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Littelfuse distributors or certified channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status via official documentation. Note that this specific part number may have limited availability or be discontinued; check current stock levels and lead times with suppliers before finalizing procurement plans.

Ptc Resettable Fuses Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16 V system requires a 6 A hold current with radial leads. Ensure the application environment stays within the -40°C to +85°C operating range. Verify that the expected fault currents do not exceed the 100 A maximum rating. Consider the 28 mOhms initial resistance for voltage drop calculations in low-voltage circuits.

Ptc Resettable Fuses Part Context

This device belongs to the Littelfuse 16R series of POLY-FUSE PolySwitch resettable fuses. These devices are solid-state PTC thermistors used for overcurrent protection.
