Bourns 2.5 A Resettable Fuse, 16V MF-MSMF250/16X-2

Bourns MF-MSMF250/16X-2 resettable fuse is a high-quality 2.5 amp hold current component designed for overcurrent protection in electrical and electronic circuits. Operating at 16 volts, this surface mount technology (SMT) fuse is supplied in an 1812 reel package ideal for automated manufacturing processes.

This device features fast-acting characteristics, rapidly transitioning from a low resistance state to a high resistance state when electrical overload or short circuit conditions occur. It automatically resets when the fault condition is removed, thereby providing maintenance-free protection across thousands of cycles.

The fuse has a trip current of 5 amperes and can manage a current rating of up to 100 amperes, making it suitable for a wide range of demanding applications. Gold plated nickel terminals ensure secure and reliable soldering and electrical connection on printed circuit boards.

It is designed to operate efficiently in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 85°C with a power dissipation rating of 1.2 watts. Certified to meet UL and RoHS standards, it complies with industry quality and environmental safety requirements.

Applications include automotive electronics, medical instruments, power switching devices, security systems, instrumentation and control, computers, peripherals, audio-visual, and telecommunications equipment.

This resettable fuse automatically switches from low resistance to high resistance to protect circuits under overload conditions. It supports a trip current of 5 amperes and can handle a current rating of up to 100 amperes.
