RHE450 is listed in the Ptc Resettable Fuses range at ChipApex. The manufacturer field lists Littelfuse Inc.. Its product description is PTC RESET FUSE 16V 4.5A RADIAL. Review the specifications below when checking this part for your BOM.
The Littelfuse RHE450 is a radial-leaded PolySwitch resettable PPTC device designed for PCB mounting. It features a hold current of 4.5 A and a trip current of 7.8 A, with a maximum voltage rating of 16 VDC. The component has a maximum rated current of 100 A and an initial resistance of 54 mΩ. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and utilizes a 5.8 mm lead spacing.
Verify the exact part number against official Littelfuse documentation to ensure compatibility with specific design requirements. Confirm that the 16 VDC maximum voltage and 4.5 A hold current align with the target circuit parameters. Check for any specific agency approvals or RoHS compliance status required by the end application standards before finalizing procurement.
Select this component when a reusable overcurrent protection solution is needed for low-voltage DC circuits. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified -40°C to +125°C range. Consider the 54 mΩ resistance impact on circuit efficiency and verify that the 100 A maximum rated current exceeds potential fault currents in the application.
The RHE450 belongs to the PolySwitch resettable PPTC family from Littelfuse. These devices utilize polymer technology to provide solid-state overcurrent protection. They are widely used in industrial and commercial applications where circuit accessibility for manual fuse replacement is limited or impractical.
Consult official Littelfuse substitution guides for verified equivalent parts. Do not assume cross-compatibility based solely on electrical ratings. Verify package dimensions and lead spacing match the existing PCB footprint if replacing an existing component.
