PTC Resettable Fuses are an ideal solution to protect against frequently occurring inrush current surges, short-circuit currents, and certain over-current conditions. The MF-R016/600-A-2 is a PTC Resettable Fuse with a rated voltage of 600V AC/DC, and a rated current of 16A. By utilizing a self-reset mechanism when an over-current/surge condition or a short-circuit condition arises, the MF-R016/600-A-2 is able to maintain continuity of current flow while providing protection against overloads and short circuits.

The working principle of the MF-R016/600-A-2 is relatively simple but effective. When power is supplied to the circuit, the PTC Resettable Fuse consists of two main components – a PTC element and an active device. The PTC element is a semiconductor material that responds to a change in current. When current flows through the PTC element, it produces resistance. The active device is used to monitor the resistance of the PTC element and trips when the resistance reaches a certain threshold. This value is determined by the resistive characteristics of the PTC element.

In normal operation, the PTC Resettable Fuse acts as an open circuit, allowing the full current to flow through the circuit. If an over-current/short-circuit condition arises, the PTC element’s resistance increases, causing the active device to trip and cut off the current flow to the circuit. When the fault is cleared, the PTC element’s resistance returns to its predetermined value, resetting the active device and allowing the full current to flow through the circuit again.

The MF-R016/600-A-2 PTC Resettable Fuse is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

• Heavy Duty Power Supplies
• X-Ray/Medical Equipment
• AV Equipment/Gadgets
• Photographic/Cinematic Equipment

The MF-R016/600-A-2 is an ideal choice for protecting against in-rush current surges, maintaining continuity of power, and providing protection against overloads and short circuits. Its two-part construction provides a reliable and cost-effective solution to ensure continuity of power in a circuit without the need for frequent repairs or replacements due to faults.

PTC Resettable Fuses provide a number of benefits when used in an application. They are capable of handling short term transient current (inrush current) surges efficiently. The trip current is generally temperature-independent and can handle high overloads without damaging the circuit. Since they self-reset after a fault is cleared, they eliminate the need to manually intervene to reset the fuse. All of these benefits make PTC Resettable Fuses an ideal choice for applications requiring repeated current interruptions.

The MF-R016/600-A-2 PTC Resettable Fuse is a reliable and cost-effective solution for applications where inrush current protection, overload protection, and short circuit protection are required. Its self-reset mechanism is quick and effective in tripping the fuse when necessary and resetting it when the fault has cleared. The reliable operation and cost-efficiency of the MF-R016/600-A-2 make it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications, from power supplies to audio/video equipment.
