The BrightKing BK16 SERIES PTC Data Sheet provides specifications, electrical characteristics, selection guide, test procedures, and packaging information…
The BK16 SERIES offers radial leaded PTC devices for over‑current protection with holding currents from 2 A to 14 A and a maximum voltage rating of 16 V. Features include flame‑retardant epoxy polymer insulation (UL94 V‑0), lead‑free options, and compliance with MSL‑1 (J‑STD‑020). The devices are intended for IT equipment, access network gear, central office hardware, ISDN/xDSL equipment, phones, fax machines, and LAN/WAN/VOIP cards.
The datasheet details electrical parameters such as hold current (IH), trip current (IT), maximum voltage (VMAX), fault current (IMAX), resistance limits (RMIN/RMAX), and typical power dissipation (Pd typ.). It also includes a selection guide, thermal‑derating curves, test procedures, storage recommendations, and soldering guidelines for both wave and manual processes.
