MF-RHS600-0

Overview

The Bourns MF-RHS600-0 is a Multifuse polymer PTC resettable fuse designed for overcurrent protection. It features a hold current of 6 A and a trip current of 12 A, with a maximum voltage rating of 16 V. The component exhibits an initial resistance of 0.004 Ohms and a post-trip resistance of 0.012 Ohms maximum. It supports a maximum fault current of 100 A and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. The device utilizes radial leaded through-hole packaging.

Feature Summary

• Provides automatic circuit recovery after fault conditions without manual replacement
• Offers robust protection against overcurrent and short circuits in electronic systems
• Maintains stable performance across a wide operating temperature range

Applications

• Consumer electronics power supply protection
• Industrial control circuit safeguarding
• Telecommunications equipment overcurrent defense

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation to confirm package type and certification status. Ensure the selected variant matches the required hold and trip currents for the target application. Confirm compliance with relevant safety agency approvals such as UL or cUL before integration into final products.

Selection Notes

Select this component based on the required 6 A hold current and 16 V maximum voltage constraints. Consider the thermal environment to ensure operation remains within the specified -40°C to 125°C range. Evaluate the physical dimensions of the radial leaded package for PCB layout compatibility.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Multifuse MF-RHS series, which focuses on high-current radial leaded applications. The series provides cost-effective circuit protection solutions for demanding environments where space allows for through-hole mounting. It complements surface mount options by offering higher current handling capabilities in a standard leaded format.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other MF-RHS series variants with matching electrical ratings. Verify that alternative parts maintain the same 16 V rating and radial lead configuration. Cross-reference safety certifications to ensure equivalent regulatory compliance.
