TRF250-120T-RA-B-0.5

PTC Resettable Fuses

PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) resettable fuses are a type of fuse used in electronic applications. They are a highly reliable, self-resetting protective device, designed to open and close circuit connections in the event of a system overload. They are re-usable and will protect against overloads, short circuits and system overvoltage.

TRF250-120T-RA-B-0.5 is a type of PTC resettable fuse designed for use in telecom and control panels, computer systems, process control circuits, motor controls, audio/video systems, and other low voltage electronics.

Application Field

TRF250-120T-RA-B-0.5 is suitable for use in low power electronic equipment such as control panels, computers, process control circuits, and audio/video systems. It is also suitable for load up to 120 VA. It can be used in automotive, audio/video, telecom, industrial and medical applications as well.

Working Principle

The working principle of TRF250-120T-RA-B-0.5 is based on the nature of PTC elements. Inside the PTC element, there is a high resistance, which increases the impedance for over-currents to reduce the conduction and heat generate due to this. When the voltage increases, the PTC element temperature increases, resulting in an increased impedance, resembling that of an open circuit. So, the TRF250-120T-RA-B-0.5 can self-reset by reducing the temperature.

The TRF250-120T-RA-B-0.5 PTC resettable fuse can detect an overload or a short circuit. When the current increases beyond the specified level, the PTC element will start to heat up due to the increasing resistance. This results in an increased blocking voltage, which can then switch off the circuit and protect it from damage. After the current is reduced, the fuse can reset itself and allow the system to operate normally again.

Advantages

TRF250-120T-RA-B-0.5 PTC resettable fuses offer many advantages compared to other types of fuses. First, they are more reliable as they are designed and tested to operate through multiple cycles. They are also safer as they protect against high currents and short circuits. Another benefit is that they are re-useable, meaning you can reset the fuse after it has tripped and the circuit will remain operational.

Also, they are relatively small and lightweight with good electrical characteristics. This makes them ideal for a variety of use cases as they can be easily installed and used in tight spaces. Additionally, they have a long lifespan and low power consumption, which means they are cost-effective and efficient.

Conclusion

TRF250-120T-RA-B-0.5 is a reliable PTC resettable fuse suitable for many types of low power applications. It is designed to protect against overloads, short circuits and overvoltage and can be re-used multiple times. It offers reliable protection which is safer than traditional fuses and its small size and lightweight design makes it ideal for tight spaces. Finally, its long lifespan and low power consumption make it an economical and efficient option.
