the Expansion of the Model MF-ASML/X Low Resistance PPTC Resettable Fuse Series
MULTIFUSE® PPTC RESETTABLE FUSES
Riverside, California – December 8, 2023 – The Bourns Multifuse Product Line is pleased to announce the expansion of its Model MF-ASML/X Low Resistance Surface Mount Polymer Positive Temperature Coefficient (PPTC) Resettable Fuse Series. This new model expands the series to include an Ihold current rating of 0.75 A at a 6 VDC maximum rated voltage.
Bourns’ proprietary low resistance conductive materials provide post trip resistance values as low as 0.25 ohms and initial resistance values as low as 0.025 ohms. These low resistance values help boost the current carrying capability of the devices. The expanded MF-ASML/X model family can now achieve Ihold current ratings of 0.1 A ~ 0.75 A at 6 VDC in a compact 0402 size package.

The Model MF-ASML/X Series utilizes Bourns’ innovative freeXpansion™ design that increases the performance of the resettable fuse with higher hold currents (Ihold), higher voltages (Vmax), improved resistance stability and smaller footprints. The primary applications for these products include wearables, Li-ion battery packs, motherboards, and portable consumer electronic I/O port protection. These devices have been designed to protect against both overcurrent and overtemperature events within the products’ designated specifications.
