MF-RX185/72-0 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Bourns MF-RX185/72-0 is a polymeric PTC resettable fuse from the MF-RX/72 series, designed for overcurrent protection in low voltage circuits up to 72V. It has a hold current of 1.85A and a trip current of 3.70A, with a maximum interrupt rating of 40A. The device offers low initial resistance (0.08 Ω to 0.12 Ω) and a maximum post-trip resistance of 0.19 Ω, ensuring minimal power loss during normal operation.

 

This PTC fuse is housed in a radial, disc package with a lead spacing of 5.10 mm and overall dimensions of 17.80 mm length, 3.10 mm width, and 22.90 mm height. It operates over a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C and is suitable for through-hole mounting. The part is RoHS compliant, lead-free, and halogen-free per Bourns definition.

 

Typical applications include security and fire alarm systems, loudspeakers, and power transformers where reliable resettable overcurrent protection is required. The device is recognized by cUL and TÜV agencies.
