BK16-1000-SZ

Ptc Resettable Fuses Overview

The YAGEO BK16-1000-SZ is a polymeric positive temperature coefficient (PPTC) resettable fuse designed for overcurrent protection in electronic circuits. It belongs to the BK16 series, featuring a radial leaded package suitable for PCB mounting. The device operates with a maximum voltage of 16 VDC and provides a holding current of 10 A, tripping at 20 A. It supports a maximum fault current of 100 A and dissipates up to 3.7 W of power. The component functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, offering reliable circuit safeguarding.

Ptc Resettable Fuses Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'SZ' against official YAGEO documentation to confirm exact packaging or compliance variations. Ensure the selected variant matches the required 16V rating and 10A holding current specifications for the target application. Cross-reference datasheets for thermal derating curves and mechanical dimensions prior to integration.

Ptc Resettable Fuses Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16V DC system requires resettable protection with a 10A continuous operating current. Consider the radial package constraints and the -40°C to +85°C operational temperature range. Evaluate the 20A trip current threshold to ensure it aligns with normal surge currents without nuisance tripping during standard operation.

Ptc Resettable Fuses Part Context

The BK16-1000-SZ is part of the broader BK16 series from YAGEO, which offers various holding currents ranging from 2.0A to 14.0A within the same 16V family. This specific model targets applications needing higher current capacity compared to lower-rated variants like the BK16-500-SZ, while maintaining consistent physical and electrical characteristics across the series.

Ptc Resettable Fuses Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other BK16 series models with matching 16V ratings and similar holding currents, such as BK16-1200-SZ or BK16-800-SZ, provided the electrical parameters fit the circuit requirements. Verify that any replacement maintains the radial lead configuration and PCB footprint compatibility.
