MF-SVS230S-0

Overview

The Bourns MF-SVS230S-0 is a Multifuse PPTC resettable fuse designed for strap mount installation. It features axial leads with a tab slot option and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Key electrical parameters include a hold current of 2.3 A, trip current of 5.2 A, maximum voltage of 10 VDC, and a maximum fault current rating of 100 A. The device exhibits a resistance of 18 mOhms and a power dissipation of 2.6 W. Its physical dimensions are 11.5 mm in length, 5.5 mm in width, and 0.9 mm in height.

Feature Summary

• Provides overcurrent protection through polymer positive temperature coefficient (PPTC) technology that resets automatically after fault clearance.
• Features an axial lead configuration with a tab slot design specifically intended for secure strap mounting applications.

Applications

• Overcurrent protection for low-voltage DC circuits
• Protection for portable electronic devices
• Battery pack circuit safeguarding

Procurement Notes

Verify component status carefully as the MF-SVS230S-0 is listed as End-of-Life (EOL). Confirm availability through authorized distributors or secondary markets, noting that standard supply channels may not stock this discontinued item. Ensure compatibility with existing designs before sourcing obsolete inventory.

Selection Notes

Select this component only when a 10 VDC maximum voltage rating and 2.3 A hold current align with specific circuit requirements. Consider the axial strap-mount form factor if board space constraints preclude surface-mount alternatives. Evaluate thermal management needs given the 85°C maximum operating temperature limit.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Bourns MF-SVS series of Multifuse PPTC resettable fuses. The series offers various hold currents and voltage ratings tailored for diverse circuit protection needs. The SVS variant specifically denotes the axial lead style with tab slots for robust mechanical attachment in industrial or consumer electronics assemblies.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Due to the End-of-Life status, engineers should consult Bourns technical support for recommended cross-references or next-generation replacements within the Multifuse portfolio.

FAQ

What is the maximum fault current rating for the MF-SVS230S-0?

The maximum fault current rating is 100 A.

Does the MF-SVS230S-0 support automatic resetting after a trip event?

Yes, it is a PPTC resettable fuse that returns to its low-resistance state once the fault condition is removed and the device cools down.
