PTS120615V050

Ptc Resettable Fuses Overview

The PTS120615V050 is a PolyTron surface-mount resettable PTC device manufactured by Eaton Electronics. It belongs to the PTS1206 series and operates within a voltage range of up to 15 VDC. The component maintains a holding current of 500 mA and trips at a current of 1 A. Its maximum fault current rating is 100 A, with an initial resistance of 700 mOhms. Designed for SMD/SMT installation in a 1206 (3216 metric) package, it measures 3.5 mm in length, 1.8 mm in width, and 1.06 mm in height. The device functions reliably between -40°C and +85°C.

Ptc Resettable Fuses Feature Summary

• Provides automatic circuit protection through self-resetting polymeric positive temperature coefficient technology.
• Designed for surface mount integration into compact electronic assemblies.

Ptc Resettable Fuses Applications

• USB peripheral port protection
• Motherboard and peripheral plug-and-play circuits
• Battery and port protection for mobile devices

Ptc Resettable Fuses Procurement Notes

Verify the specific Eaton Electronics datasheet for the PTS120615V050 to confirm compliance with RoHS directives and halogen-free status. Ensure that the selected packaging format aligns with automated assembly requirements. Cross-reference the official electrical specifications against the design constraints to validate thermal and current handling capabilities before finalizing procurement orders.

Ptc Resettable Fuses Selection Notes

Select this component when designing low-voltage DC circuits requiring overcurrent protection with a 500 mA nominal load. The 1206 footprint suits space-constrained layouts. Verify that the operating environment remains within the specified -40°C to +85°C range. Confirm that the 15 VDC maximum voltage rating exceeds the system's peak operational voltage to ensure reliable tripping behavior without dielectric breakdown.

Ptc Resettable Fuses Part Context

This part is part of the PolyTron family of resettable fuses from Eaton Electronics. It serves as a reusable alternative to traditional one-time fusible links in consumer electronics and portable devices. The 1206 package standardizes its placement on printed circuit boards alongside other passive components.

Ptc Resettable Fuses Replacement Considerations

Consult Eaton Electronics documentation for direct cross-references or updated series replacements. Verify that any substitute maintains identical 1206 dimensions, 500 mA holding current, and 15 VDC voltage rating to preserve board layout integrity and circuit protection thresholds.
