Overview
The MF-RX250/72-0 is a radial leaded PTC resettable fuse from the Bourns Multifuse MF-RX/72 series. It features a hold current of 2.5 A and a trip current of 5.0 A, with a maximum voltage rating of 72 VDC. The device has a minimum resistance of 0.05 Ohms and supports a maximum fault current of 40 A. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, utilizes a 10.2 mm lead spacing, and dissipates 1 W of power.
Feature Summary
- Provides automatic circuit protection by increasing resistance in response to overcurrent conditions
- Restores normal operation after cooling following fault clearance without replacement
- Designed for PCB mounting with radial leads for through-hole integration
Applications
- Overcurrent protection for portable electronic devices
- Circuit safeguarding in consumer electronics
- Protection for industrial instrumentation circuits
- Power supply input protection in telecommunications equipment
Procurement Notes
Verify the specific suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm exact electrical ratings and physical dimensions. Ensure the selected variant matches the required hold current and voltage specifications for the target application. Cross-reference datasheets to confirm compliance with RoHS directives and operating temperature ranges before procurement.
Selection Notes
Select this component based on the required 2.5 A hold current and 72 VDC maximum voltage constraints. Consider the 10.2 mm lead spacing for PCB layout compatibility. Evaluate the thermal environment to ensure operation remains within the specified -40°C to +85°C range. Confirm that the 40 A maximum fault current capability exceeds potential short-circuit levels in the circuit.
