Ptc Resettable Fuses Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation RFE/Fuzetec when sourcing this component to ensure authenticity. Confirm that the 16V maximum voltage and 12A hold current ratings align with your circuit design requirements. Check datasheet specifications for thermal derating curves and trip time characteristics relevant to your operating environment before finalizing procurement decisions.

Ptc Resettable Fuses Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high hold current capacity within a compact radial footprint. Ensure the operating voltage does not exceed the 16V maximum rating. Consider the physical dimensions of 17.50mm x 3.60mm for PCB layout constraints. Validate that the tin-plated copper lead material meets your manufacturing process requirements for wave or reflow soldering.

Ptc Resettable Fuses Part Context

This part belongs to the FRG series of PTC resettable fuses from Fuzetec Technology Co., Ltd., founded in 1999 as a circuit protection specialist. The series includes various current ratings such as the FRG500-16F and FRG1100-16F, offering scalable protection solutions. The FRG1200-16F specifically addresses higher current needs compared to lower-rated variants in the same voltage class.

Ptc Resettable Fuses Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other FRG series parts like FRG1100-16F or FRG1400-16F if current ratings can be adjusted. Verify that any replacement maintains the 16V maximum voltage rating and compatible radial disc package dimensions. Ensure the substitute component adheres to the same MIL-STD-202 soldering standards and uses similar tin-plated copper lead materials.
