BNstar
Strong alternative with matching hold current, voltage, and 1206 package. Higher max fault current.
Find pin-compatible and parametric alternatives for the BHFUSE BSMD1206-150-12V, a 1.5A 12V PTC resettable fuse in a 1206 package. Review key electrical differences before substitution.
Using a part with incorrect hold/trip current negates the circuit protection function.
All candidates use the same 1206 package, but land pattern should be verified.
Direct replacement for BSMD1206-150-12V should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
Use BNstar SMD1206-150C-12V for the closest parametric match or TECHFUSE nSMD150-16V for an upgraded voltage rating.
Using a part with a higher hold current (e.g., 2.0A) will compromise the intended overcurrent protection.

| Feature / factor | BSMD1206-150-12V | SMD1206-150C-12V | nSMD150-16V | SMD1206-200C-12V | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Package | 1206 | 1206 | 1206 | 1206 | 1206 — Same package size.; nSMD150-16V: Same package size.; SMD1206-200C-12V: Same package size.; SMD1206-200C-16V: Same package size. |
| Current | 40 A | 50 A | 100 A | 3.5 A | 50 A / 100 A / 3.5 A / 2.0 A — Max fault current (Imax) is higher.; nSMD150-16V: Max fault current (Imax) is significantly higher.; SMD1206-200C-12V: Trip current (It) is higher.; SMD1206-200C-16V: Hold current (Ih) is higher, which alters the protection level. |
| Voltage | 12.0 V | 12.0 V | 16.0 V | 12.0 V | 12.0 V / 16.0 V — Max voltage (Vmax) matches.; nSMD150-16V: Max voltage (Vmax) is higher, offering more margin.; SMD1206-200C-12V: Max voltage (Vmax) matches.; SMD1206-200C-16V: Max voltage (Vmax) is higher, offering more margin. |
| Resistance | 0.025 Ω | 0.025 Ω | 0.030 Ω | - | 0.025 Ω / 0.030 Ω — Min initial resistance matches.; nSMD150-16V: Min initial resistance is slightly higher. |
Verified drop-in options for BSMD1206-150-12V are limited in the current batch. Review candidates marked Strong match or Datasheet verified, and validate package, pinout, and electrical limits before committing a BOM change.
