Bourns 1.6 A 30V Radial Lead Resettable Fuse MF-R160

Bourns MF-R160 is a specialized 1.6 A resettable fuse designed for protection of electrical and electronic circuits against excessive current conditions, rated at 30 volts. This radial leaded component features a rapid switching from low resistance to high resistance upon detecting overload or short circuits, which protects connected circuitry effectively.

The device construction includes cured, flame retardant epoxy polymer insulating material that meets stringent UL 94V-0 flame retardancy standards. Its compact dimensions (10.2 mm length, 16.8 mm height, and 3 mm width) facilitate small form factor PCB designs without requiring additional fuse holders.

The MF-R160 has a hold current rating of 1.6 A and a trip current of 3.2 A, with a fast time-to-trip of 8 seconds, ensuring timely protection while maintaining normal operation within rated currents. It supports operation in temperature extremes from -40°C to 85°C, making it suitable for demanding industrial and commercial environments.

Its low minimum resistance of 0.055 Ω and maximum resistance of 150 mΩ provide stable electrical performance while power dissipation is limited to 0.9 W. The fuse is UL, CSA, and TUV approved, meeting high quality and safety requirements.

Typical applications include security systems, power supplies and transformers, power switching devices, automotive and medical equipment, instrumentation, control systems, computers, peripherals, audio visual, and telecommunications devices.

Automatically resets itself thousands of times for maintenance free use. Compact radial leaded design suitable for PCB mounting. Cured epoxy polymer insulation ensures flame retardant safety. Wide temperature range operation from -40°C to 85°C.

RoHS and UL compliant to guarantee environmental and safety standards. Designed for applications in security, automotive, medical, and electronics systems.
