RUEF600K-2 Circuit Protection

PTC resettable fuses are an important component in many electrical systems. The RUEF600K-2 is a Poly-Switch type PTC resettable fuse, manufactured by Littelfuse. This fuse offers excellent overcurrent protection of 12 to 16 A, provides fast response to overload and short circuit conditions, and its low temperature operating range offers excellent reliability.

The RUEF600K-2 is a small-sized fuse, suitable for use in various electronic devices and applications. It can be used as an overcurrent protection device in power supplies, power management systems, and home electronics. It can be used as an overvoltage protection device in automotive and industrial applications. The RUEF600K-2 can also be used as a circuit interrupt, protecting circuit elements from high-power surges. In many applications, this fuse provides reliable overcurrent protection in a smaller form factor.

The RUEF600K-2 is a bi-stable PTC resettable fuse. It consists of two thermistor elements in series, sandwiched between two conducting plates. When an overload current is applied, the thermistor elements heat up and expand, increasing the contact resistance between the conducting plates. This increases the overall resistance of the fuse, and its current carrying capacity decreases. When the current reaches its rated capacity, the fuse will trip and the current is interrupted.

When the overcurrent condition is removed, the RUEF600K-2 will automatically reset itself and the current will resume to its normal flow. Since the fuse has no mechanical moving parts, the life of the fuse is considerably extended. The RUEF600K-2 also comes with an electrical timing feature, which allows the fuse to reset itself three seconds after it trips. This helps prevent nuisance tripping.

This PTC resettable fuse has several advantages over standard fuses. One advantage is that it is much safer than traditional fuses, as it will automatically reset itself when overload current is removed. Another benefit is that the size of the RUEF600K-2 is much smaller than traditional fuses, enabling it to be used in space-constrained applications. Additionally, thanks to its overvoltage protection feature, it provides added protection against voltage spikes.

The RUEF600K-2 is a reliable, safe, and cost-effective solution for a broad range of applications. Its fast response time and easy installation make it an ideal choice for many commercial and industrial applications. It offers excellent protection from overcurrent and overvoltage, and with its small size, it can be used in a variety of applications. The RUEF600K-2 is the perfect choice for those looking for a reliable and economical fuse solution.
