MF-RHS1000-0

Overview

The Bourns MF-RHS1000-0 is a polymer PTC resettable fuse from the Multifuse MF-RHS series, designed for through-hole radial mounting. It features a maximum voltage rating of 16V and a hold current (Ih) of 10A. The device exhibits a minimum initial resistance (Ri) of 0.004 Ohms and a maximum trip resistance (R1) of 0.012 Ohms. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and carries cUL and cURus certifications.

Feature Summary

• Provides overcurrent protection using polymer positive temperature coefficient technology
• Offers high current handling capability with low on-state resistance
• Features radial leaded construction for reliable PCB integration

Applications

• Automotive circuit protection systems
• Industrial power supply units
• Consumer electronics overcurrent safeguarding

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific hold current and resistance values against the official Bourns datasheet before procurement, as manufacturing revisions may occur. Confirm that the 16V rating aligns with your system's maximum operating voltage. Ensure the radial lead spacing matches your PCB footprint requirements. Check for AEC-Q200 compliance if automotive qualification is mandatory for your application.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high current protection up to 10A is required in space-constrained designs. The low resistance minimizes power loss during normal operation. Consider the 16V limit for low-voltage applications. The radial package facilitates automated insertion. Evaluate thermal management needs given the 125°C maximum operating temperature.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Bourns Multifuse MF-RHS series, which specializes in high-current, low-resistance resettable fuses. The series is engineered for robust performance in demanding environments, offering a compact alternative to traditional fuses while maintaining repeatability after tripping events.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the official Bourns replacement guide for direct equivalents. Verify that any substitute maintains the 10A hold current and 16V rating. Ensure the replacement supports radial mounting and meets the same safety certifications.
