The ±8% current-limit accuracy means the threshold is tight enough to avoid nuisance trips during inrush charging of downstream bulk capacitance, yet precise enough to protect the load from a sustained overload. In a 5 A design, the trip point sits between 4.6 A and 5.4 A — that window matters when the load draws 4.8 A steady-state and you need headroom for transients without blowing the fuse. ## Package footprint and thermal design — 10-VSON with exposed pad The TPS259230DRCR comes in a 10-VFDFN exposed pad package (3 mm × 3 mm VSON). Without adequate pad attachment, the package cannot dissipate the heat from a sustained 5 A pass-through, and the internal thermal shutdown will cycle the output. The cut-tape option is available for prototyping or low-volume builds. No special handling beyond standard MSL moisture sensitivity — confirm the bake requirements from the reel label before reflow. ## Temperature range — industrial, not automotive This part is not rated for under-hood automotive environments — if the design requires AEC-Q100 qualification or a 105°C+ ambient, look at TI's automotive-grade eFuse family instead.","metaTitle":"TPS259230DRCR Texas Instruments Electronic Fuse","metaDescription":"TI TPS259230DRCR electronic fuse in 10-VFDFN package. 4.5V to 5.5V input range, 5A continuous output, ±8% accuracy, -40°C to 85°C.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Power Management (PMIC / Gate Driver)"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Texas Instruments","Series":"-","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR); Cut Tape (CT)","Accuracy":"±8%","Function":"Electronic Fuse","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Package / Case":"10-VFDFN Exposed Pad","Product Status":"Active","Sensing Method":"-","Voltage - Input":"4.5V ~ 5.5V","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Current - Output":"5A","Base Product Number":"TPS259230","Operating Temperature":"-40°C~85°C(TA)","Supplier Device Package":"10-VSON (3x3)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$1.7300","priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/34f82fda115508e1e836e3cbda952ce3.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icboms.com/api/mcp/products/TPS259230DRCR/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the output current capability of the TPS259230DRCR?","answer":"The continuous output current rating is 5 A.
