.. 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, ponent layouts, tape and reel specifications, and ordering information for RGE devices. RGE Selection Guide Follow these seven steps to select a Poly Switch 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 2. Select the RGE device that acmodates the circuit’s maximum ambient operating temperature and normal operating current. 3. pare the RGE 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 RGE device’s time-to-trip be to sure it will protect the circuit. 5. Verify that the circuit’s ambient operating temperatures are within the RGE device’s operating temperature range. 6. Verify that the RGE device’s dimensions fit the application’s space considerations. 7. Independently evaluate and test the suitability and performance of the RGE device in the application. ® ® TUV Rheinland Raychem Circuit Protection Devices RGE Devices Radial Leaded 1. Define the circuit’s operating parameters. Fill in the following information about the circuit: Maximum ambient operating temperature Normal operating current Maximum operating voltage (RGE is 16 V max.)
