Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MF-PSML260/6-2 qualifies as a direct substitute for the MF-PSML260-2 based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical voltage rating: 6V maximum
• Identical hold current (Ih): 2.6A
• Identical mounting type: Surface Mount
• Identical package designation: 0805 (2012 Metric), Concave
• Identical operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Identical material type: Polymeric PTC
• Identical regulatory compliance: ROHS3, cURus, TUV approval

The primary distinction is product status: MF-PSML260-2 is Obsolete, while MF-PSML260/6-2 is Active with current manufacturing and inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MF-PSML260/6-2 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete MF-PSML260-2 in applications requiring a 6V, 2.6A hold current polymeric PTC resettable fuse in 0805 surface mount configuration. Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings, temperature operating range, and regulatory certifications (ROHS3, cURus, TUV).

The thickness difference (0.032" vs 0.055" maximum) must be evaluated against PCB assembly constraints and available board space. The active product status of MF-PSML260/6-2 ensures ongoing availability and manufacturing support, eliminating supply chain risk associated with the obsolete MF-PSML260-2.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MF-PSML260/6-2 be used as a direct replacement for MF-PSML260-2?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical voltage rating (6V), hold current (2.6A), package type (0805 Concave), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C). The substitute is an active product with current manufacturing availability.

Q: What is the significance of the thickness difference between these parts?

A: The MF-PSML260-2 has a maximum thickness of 0.032" (0.80mm), while MF-PSML260/6-2 has a maximum thickness of 0.055" (1.40mm). This difference must be verified against PCB assembly specifications and available clearance in the target application.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both MF-PSML260-2 and MF-PSML260/6-2 are ROHS3 Compliant with identical regulatory approvals (cURus, TUV).

Q: Why is MF-PSML260-2 listed as Obsolete?

A: The MF-PSML260-2 has been discontinued by Bourns Inc. The active equivalent MF-PSML260/6-2 provides identical electrical and functional performance for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Q: What packaging options are available for MF-PSML260/6-2?

A: MF-PSML260/6-2 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format, standard for surface mount component procurement.
