Detailed Pin Configuration

The MF-R015/600-2 has two radial leads for easy integration into circuit boards. The pinout configuration is as follows: - Pin 1: Connected to one end of the PTC element - Pin 2: Connected to the other end of the PTC element

Functional Features

• Resettable: Automatically resets once fault condition is removed
• Overcurrent Protection: Safeguards circuits from excessive current flow
• Polymer PTC: Utilizes polymer-based positive temperature coefficient material for enhanced performance

Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages: - Automatic reset reduces maintenance requirements - Polymer PTC offers improved stability and reliability

Disadvantages: - Limited maximum voltage compared to some alternatives - Trip current may not be adjustable

Working Principles

The MF-R015/600-2 operates based on the principle of a polymer PTC resistor. When the current exceeds the trip current, the PTC material heats up, causing its resistance to increase dramatically, limiting the current flow and providing protection to the circuit. Once the fault condition is removed, the PTC cools down and returns to its low-resistance state.

Detailed Application Field Plans

The MF-R015/600-2 is suitable for a wide range of applications including: - Consumer electronics - Automotive electronics - Industrial control systems - Power supplies - Telecommunications equipment
