FRX017-60F

Ptc Resettable Fuses Overview

The FRX017-60F is a radial-leaded PTC resettable fuse from the FRX series, manufactured by RFE/Fuzetec. It features a maximum voltage rating of 60 volts and a hold current (Ih) of 0.17 amperes. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. It utilizes tin-plated copper leads with an insulating flame-retardant epoxy coating. This solid-state device provides overcurrent protection for electronic circuits without requiring replacement after tripping.

Ptc Resettable Fuses Feature Summary

• Solid-state radial-leaded construction for reliable circuit protection
• Self-resetting functionality eliminates need for manual replacement after fault conditions
• Flame-retardant epoxy insulating coating ensures safety compliance

Ptc Resettable Fuses Applications

• Wide variety of electronic equipment
• Circuits operating at up to 60 volts
• Low hold current protection applications

Ptc Resettable Fuses Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation, as documentation references both RFE International and Fuzetec Technology Co., Ltd. Confirm the lead material specifications and soldering characteristics against MIL-STD-202 Method 208E requirements during integration. Ensure the selected variant matches the required 60V maximum voltage rating and 0.17A hold current for the target application design.

Ptc Resettable Fuses Selection Notes

Select this component when a low hold current of 0.17A is required for 60V systems. Consider the radial disc package for through-hole mounting. Evaluate the thermal environment to ensure operation remains within the specified -40°C to 85°C range. Compare against other FRX series variants if different current ratings or voltage levels are needed for alternative circuit designs.

Ptc Resettable Fuses Part Context

The FRX017-60F belongs to the FRX series of radial-leaded PPTC devices. This series offers a broad spectrum of hold currents ranging from 0.05A to 3.75A across various voltage ratings. The FRX017-60F specifically addresses applications requiring precise low-current protection in compact through-hole configurations, serving as a reusable alternative to traditional fusible links.

Ptc Resettable Fuses Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include FRX010-60F and FRX015-90F, though these differ in hold current and voltage ratings respectively. Verify that any replacement maintains the 60V maximum voltage constraint and compatible physical dimensions for the existing PCB footprint.
