¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ Adds Multifuse? PPTC Resettable Fuse Series Developed for High Operating Temperature/High Operating Current Applications

New high power rated Model MF-RHS Series features low power dissipation in a small package designed to help to increase efficiency in motor and industrial designs

RIVERSIDE, Calif., January 2, 2024 - ¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ, a leading manufacturer and supplier of electronic components for power, protection, and sensing solutions, today introduced its Multifuse® Model MF-RHS High Temperature Radial Leaded Polymer Positive Temperature Coefficient (PPTC) Resettable Fuse Series. ¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ' new fuse series answers the need for broader high temperature PPTC protection solutions that meet increased working temperature and high power rating requirements for a wide range of equipment, particularly in motor and industrial applications.

The new Model MF-RHS Series is based on ¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ' advanced design that increases resettable fuse performance and supports an operating temperature range up to 125 °C. Performance enhancements are comprised of an elevated 100 A maximum current rating (Imax), including a hold current rating range (Ihold) from 3.5 A to 13.0 A at 16 V maximum rated voltage and enhanced resistance stability in a smaller PPTC chip size. The series' smaller package dimension and low power dissipation can also help increase overall power application efficiency.

The ¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ® Multifuse® Model MF-RHS Series is available now and is RoHS compliant* and halogen free**. The series is also UL and CSA recognized and the products are manufactured in one of ¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ' IATF 16949 certified facilities.
