RGE Selection Guide
and Product Data
This section has two parts:
⢠A Selection Guide that walks you through the process of
selecting the correct RGE device for a circuit.
⢠Product Data that outlines electrical characteristics,
physical characteristics, agency recognitions, environmental
specifications, component layouts, tape and reel specifications,
and ordering information for RGE devices.
RGE Selection Guide
Follow these seven steps to select a PolySwitch RGE device for
a circuit:
1. Define the operating parameters for the circuit.
These include:
⢠Maximum ambient operating temperature
⢠Normal operating current
⢠Maximum operating voltage (RGE is 16 V maximum)
⢠Maximum interrupt current
4
2. Select the RGE device that accommodates the circuitâs maximum
ambient operating temperature and normal operating current.
3. Compare the RGE deviceâs maximum operating voltage and maxi-
mum interrupt current with the circuitâs to be sure the circuit does
not exceed the device ratings.
4. Check the RGE deviceâs time-to-trip be to sure it will protect the
circuit.
5. Verify that the circuitâs ambient operating temperatures are within
the RGE deviceâs operating temperature range.
6. Verify that the RGE deviceâs dimensions fit the applicationâs space
considerations.
7. Independently evaluate and test the suitability and performance
of the RGE device in the application.
