PTR016V0160-BK1

Ptc Resettable Fuses Overview

The Eaton PTR016V0160-BK1 is a PolyTron PTC resettable fuse designed for overcurrent protection in low-voltage circuits. It features a maximum voltage rating of 16 VDC and a hold current of 160 mA. The device trips at a minimum current of 320 mA and can withstand a maximum fault current of 40 A. Initial resistance is typically 15 Ohms, rising to a maximum of 25 Ohms after tripping. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and utilizes radial kinked leads with a 5 mm spacing for through-hole PCB mounting.

Ptc Resettable Fuses Feature Summary

• Provides automatic circuit recovery after fault clearance without manual replacement
• Utilizes polymer positive temperature coefficient technology for rapid response to overcurrent conditions
• Features radial kinked lead termination for secure through-hole printed circuit board installation

Ptc Resettable Fuses Applications

• Overcurrent protection for portable electronic devices
• Circuit safeguarding in telecommunications equipment
• Protection for automotive electronics and accessories

Ptc Resettable Fuses Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix BK1 indicates radial kinked leads upon procurement confirmation. Ensure the selected component matches the required 16V DC voltage class and 160mA hold current specifications for the target application circuit. Confirm compliance with RoHS directives if required by project standards before finalizing orders.

Ptc Resettable Fuses Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring 16V DC protection with a 160mA continuous operating current. Consider the 320mA trip threshold to ensure nuisance tripping does not occur during normal peak loads. Evaluate the initial resistance value against signal integrity or power loss requirements in the specific design context.

Ptc Resettable Fuses Part Context

This part belongs to the Eaton PolyTron PTR016V series, which offers various hold currents for 16V applications. It serves as a reusable alternative to traditional fusible links, providing cost-effective overcurrent protection. The series is widely used in consumer electronics and industrial control systems where space constraints and reliability are critical factors.

Ptc Resettable Fuses Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Eaton PolyTron parts with identical 16V ratings and similar hold currents, such as the PTR016V0150 or PTR016V0200, depending on precise current tolerance needs. Cross-brand replacements require matching voltage, hold current, and physical footprint dimensions.
