www.DataSheet4U.com RUE Selection Guide and Product Data This section has two parts: A Selection Guide that walks you through the process of selecting the correct RUE 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 RUE devices. RUE Selection Guide Follow these seven steps to select a PolySwitch RUE device for a circuit: 1. Define the operating parameters for the circuit. These include: Maximum ambient operating temperature Normal operating current Maximum operating voltage (RUE is 30 V maximum) Maximum interrupt current 2. Select the RUE device that accommodates the circuit’s maximum ambient operating temperature and normal operating current. 3. Compare the RUE device’s maximum operating voltage and maximum interrupt current with the circuit’s to be sure the circuit does not exceed the device ratings. 4. Check the RUE device’s time-to-trip to be sure it will protect the circuit. 5. Verify that the circuit’s ambient operating temperatures are within the RUE device’s operating temperature range. 6. Verify that the RUE device’s dimensions fit the application’s space considerations. 7. Independently evaluate and test the suitability and performance of the RUE device in the application. 4 ® ® TUV Rheinland Raychem Circuit Protection Devices RUE Devices 141 RUE Radial Leaded 1....
