FRG800-16F

Ptc Resettable Fuses Overview

The FRG800-16F is a radial leaded PTC resettable fuse manufactured by RFE/Fuzetec. It features a maximum operating voltage of 16 V and a trip current of 13.6 A. The device maintains a hold current of 8 A, providing reliable overcurrent protection for electronic circuits. Designed for through-hole mounting, this component offers self-resetting capabilities after fault conditions clear.

Ptc Resettable Fuses Feature Summary

• Self-resetting polymeric positive temperature coefficient (PPTC) construction
• Radial leaded package for through-hole circuit board integration
• Trip current threshold of 13.6 A for rapid overcurrent response

Ptc Resettable Fuses Applications

• Consumer electronics power supply protection
• Automotive electrical circuit safeguarding
• Industrial control system overcurrent defense

Ptc Resettable Fuses Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation matches RFE/Fuzetec or Fuzetec Technology Co., Ltd. when sourcing components. Confirm that the radial lead configuration aligns with your printed circuit board layout requirements. Ensure the 16 V rating meets the system's maximum operating voltage constraints to prevent insulation breakdown during normal operation.

Ptc Resettable Fuses Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, self-resetting solution is required for 16 V systems. The 8 A hold current suits applications needing moderate continuous current capacity without nuisance tripping. Consider the thermal environment, as ambient temperature affects the trip characteristics of PTC devices compared to standard fuses.

Ptc Resettable Fuses Part Context

This part belongs to the FRG series of radial leaded PTC resettable fuses. The series includes variants with different current ratings while maintaining similar voltage specifications. These components are commonly used in automotive and industrial sectors where reusable protection is preferred over replaceable fusible links.

Ptc Resettable Fuses Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 16 V rating, 8 A hold current, and 13.6 A trip current specifications. Verify that alternative PTC fuses support radial through-hole mounting to ensure mechanical compatibility. Check datasheets for equivalent thermal performance curves to guarantee identical protection behavior in the target application.
