5TT160

The 5TT160 fuse is a newly designed axial lead PTC Resettable Fuse with an amperage rating of 160ma. This type of fuse is commonly used in low current applications, such as computer motherboards or other electronic components. It is designed to protect sensitive electronic circuits from over-current conditions.

The 5TT160 fuse consists of a ceramic-filled plastic housing with a metal coil inside. The PTC fuse element is located inside the coil. When current flows through the fuse element, it begins to heat up and increase its resistance. If the current exceeds the rated amperage, the coil will become hot and the PTC element will open and cut off the current flow. When the current drops, the PTC element will reset itself and the current will flow through the element again.

The 5TT160 is designed to offer a high level of protection in applications that require overcurrent protection in a relatively low current application. It offers overcurrent protection over a wide range of temperatures, and the reset current is usually higher than the original current, so the device is capable of resetting itself quickly and easily to its original state. This makes it ideal for a wide range of applications, including computer motherboards and other electronic components.

The reset time of the 5TT160 is relatively fast, usually less than a few seconds, allowing it to be used in time critical applications. It is also relatively low cost compared to other overcurrent protection devices, making it an economical choice in applications where cost is a major factor.

The 5TT160 is a very reliable and cost effective overcurrent protector, and is suitable for a wide range of applications, such as in computers and other electronic devices. Its wide variety of temperature ranges, reset current, and quick reset time make it an ideal choice for low current applications.
