| Datasheet | Download Datasheet |
The OptiFuse RS240-016 is a 160 mA hold radial-lead resettable PTC fuse, rated 240 VAC/DC maximum.
A PTC fuse carries its hold current indefinitely; on an overcurrent it heats, its resistance rises sharply and it limits the current to a trickle, then resets on its own once the fault is removed and power is cycled. This one always trips at 370 mA, in max. 15.0 s at 5 x IH.
It withstands a fault current of up to 2 A at rated voltage and interrupts up to 265 V. Resistance: minimum 2.50 Ω, 7.80 Ω maximum one hour after tripping. Tripped, it dissipates typically 1.40 W. It operates from -40 to +85 °C.
Construction: outline 9.9 W x 12.5 H x 3.8 T mm (max.); lead spacing 5.1 mm; leads 24 AWG (0.51 mm); tin plated copper.
