Introduction to PTC Resettable Fuses

PTC resettable fuses are a type of non-destructive safety device composed of a metal have and a specially formulated semiconductor bridge. They are designed to protect electronic circuits from being damaged by a sudden current surge or overcurrent. Once the current passes the threshold of the device, the current will be blocked and the device will reset. With the ability to automatically reset when the current surge is finished, these devices are ideal for protecting sensitive electronics from overcurrent damage.

16R400GPR Application Field and Working Principle

The 16R400GPR is a polymeric positive temperature coefficient (PPTC) resettable fuse with a capacity of 400 amperes at 32 volts. It is mostly used for over current protection in industrial, lighting, consumer and automotive applications. This device works by detecting the current passing through the element and when the current exceeds the threshold, the temperature in the element increases and it will actuate the internal switch. The internal switch will trip the device and the current will be shut off, protecting the system from overheating and possible damage.

The 16R400GPR fuse can be used in a wide variety of applications such as overcurrent protection of automotive systems, control panels, power tools and motors, entertainment systems, lighting, and HVAC applications. This device is also well suited for applications such as electrical surge protection and reverse polarity protection. In order to ensure optimal performance, it is important to select the right PPTC fuse for the application. For instance, if the application requires dealing with a high repetition rate surge protection, the 16R400GPR will not be the best choice as its response time is slower.

Another important factor to consider is the reset voltage. The reset voltage is the amount of current required to reset the fuse after it has tripped. A low reset voltage means that the device will reset more quickly, while a higher reset voltage will take longer to reset. It is important to select a device with the proper reset voltage that can meet the requirements of the application.

The 16R400GPR has a number of features that make it ideal for many applications, including its low cost and small form factor. In addition, it is designed to be resistant to failure from shock and vibration, as well as providing resistance to sudden temperature changes. It is UL and TUV certified and RoHS compliant.

In conclusion, the 16R400GPR is a reliable and cost effective PPTC resettable fuse that can provide protection from overcurrent in a variety of applications. With its low cost, small form factor and UL and TUV certification, this device is an ideal choice for protecting electronics from overcurrent damage. The device is also designed to be resistant to shock and vibration, as well as sudden temperature changes, making it a reliable choice for many applications.
