1206L050YR

Littelfuse · Resettable Fuses · 1206

1206L050YR from Littelfuse, in a 1206. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 1 passive One of two interchangeable solder-plated copper end terminals of the resettable PTC; the 1206L050 is rated 0.50 A hold, 1.00 A trip, 6 Vdc max, 100 A max fault current.
2 2 passive Second interchangeable solder-plated copper end terminal of the resettable PTC (non-polarized); the 1206L050 has 0.10 ohm min and 0.150 ohm R1max resistance, with 0.70 ohm listed as the maximum resistance after trip or reflow.
