The miniSMDC125F/16 is a Polymeric PTC Resettable Fuse from TE Connectivity (formerly Tyco Electronics). This device is designed to protect electronic circuits from overcurrent faults by limiting the current flow during an overcurrent condition and automatically resetting once the fault is removed.
Applications:
- USB Ports: Overcurrent protection for USB ports in computers and peripherals.
- Game Consoles: Protecting sensitive components from power surges.
- Set-Top Boxes: Preventing damage from overcurrent conditions.
- Mobile Phones: Safeguarding battery charging circuits and other internal components.
- General Electronic Equipment: Overcurrent protection in a wide range of devices.
Features:
- Resettable Fuse: Automatically resets after the overcurrent condition is removed.
- Surface Mount Package: Suitable for automated assembly processes.
- Fast Trip Time: Quickly responds to overcurrent faults.
- Low Resistance: Minimizes voltage drop during normal operation.
- Compact Size: Small footprint for space-constrained applications.
Benefits:
- Overcurrent Protection: Protects electronic circuits from damage due to overcurrent conditions.
- Automatic Resetting: Eliminates the need for manual fuse replacement.
- Improved Reliability: Enhances the reliability of electronic equipment.
- Simplified Maintenance: Reduces maintenance costs by eliminating fuse replacement.
- Cost-Effective: Provides a cost-effective overcurrent protection solution.
Additional Details:
The miniSMDC125F/16 has a hold current of 1.25A and a trip current of 2.5A. The hold current is the maximum current the device can carry without tripping, while the trip current is the current at which the device will trip and limit the current flow. The operating voltage is typically 16V. The device's resistance increases dramatically when it trips, limiting the current flow to a safe level.
The datasheet provides detailed information on the device's electrical characteristics, tripping time, and operating temperature range. The device is compliant with industry standards for overcurrent protection.
