BHFUSE
A close alternative from the same manufacturer series, but its higher hold current requires engineering sign-off.
Finding a substitute for the BHFUSE BSMD0805L-260 PTC fuse requires careful attention to its 2.6A hold current. While several alternatives exist in the same 0805 package, they typically feature a higher 3.0A rating, necessitating an engineering review to ensure circuit safety.
Higher hold current may fail to protect the circuit, potentially leading to damage.
All viable candidates share the same 0805 package, ensuring physical compatibility.
No direct, drop-in replacement for BSMD0805L-260 with identical key parameters was found. All alternatives require engineering review due to a higher hold current.
The best path is to evaluate BSMD0805L-300 from the same manufacturer. It shares most characteristics but has a higher 3.0A hold current, which must be validated for your circuit's safety requirements.
The primary risk is inadequate overcurrent protection due to candidates having a higher hold current (3.0A) than the target's 2.6A.

| Feature / factor | BSMD0805L-260 | BSMD0805L-300 | JK-SMD0805-300L | SL0805300 | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Package | 0805 | 0805 | 0805 | 0805 | 0805 — Same package and pin count from the same manufacturer series.; JK-SMD0805-300L: Same package and pin count.; SL0805300: Same package and pin count. |
| Current | 2.6A | 3.0A | 3.0A | 3.0A | 3.0A — Higher hold current. This is the next current rating up in the same product family.; JK-SMD0805-300L: Higher hold current (3.0A vs 2.6A) requires careful review of circuit protection needs.; SL0805300: Higher hold current may not protect the circuit as intended. Review required. |
| Voltage | 6.0V | 6.0V | 6.0V | 6.0V | 6.0V — Maximum voltage rating matches.; JK-SMD0805-300L: Maximum voltage rating is identical.; SL0805300: Maximum voltage rating matches. |
| Power | 1.2W | 1.2W | 0.8W | 1.0W | 1.2W / 0.8W / 1.0W — Power dissipation rating matches.; JK-SMD0805-300L: Lower power dissipation rating.; SL0805300: Lower power dissipation rating. |
| Tcr | 5s | - | 2s | - | 2s — Faster time-to-trip is generally favorable. |
| Resistance | 0.030Ω max | - | - | 0.045Ω | 0.045Ω — Higher post-trip resistance may affect circuit recovery. |
The best alternative is likely BSMD0805L-300, as it's from the same manufacturer and product series. However, it has a higher hold current of 3.0A compared to the original's 2.6A, which requires careful engineering validation.
