B59860C0160A070

Ptc Resettable Fuses Overview

The B59860C0160A070 is a ceramic PTC self-resetting fuse manufactured by TDK. It features a maximum voltage rating of 160V and a hold current (Ih) of 180 mA. The trip current (It) is specified at 360 mA, with a maximum fault current capacity of 1.5 A. At 25°C, the typical resistance is 15 Ohms with a tolerance of ±25%. The component utilizes radial leads for through-hole PCB mounting and operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 60°C.

Ptc Resettable Fuses Feature Summary

• Provides automatic circuit protection against overcurrent conditions by increasing resistance significantly upon thermal activation.
• Functions as a self-resetting device that returns to low-resistance state once the fault condition is removed and the component cools down.
• Designed for direct through-hole integration onto printed circuit boards using radial leaded terminations.

Ptc Resettable Fuses Applications

• Overcurrent protection for AC mains-powered electronic equipment
• Circuit safeguarding in household appliances connected to 110V/120V power lines
• Protection of internal wiring and components in industrial control systems

Ptc Resettable Fuses Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure compatibility with required packaging formats, such as bulk or tape-and-reel configurations. Confirm that the selected variant meets all necessary safety certifications for the target market, including UL and VDE standards. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest datasheet to validate electrical parameters against design requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Ptc Resettable Fuses Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring resettable overcurrent protection for AC line voltages up to 160V. Ensure the application's steady-state current remains below the 180 mA hold current threshold to prevent nuisance tripping. Verify that the physical dimensions and lead spacing fit the available PCB footprint constraints while maintaining adequate clearance for thermal dissipation during operation.
