These heater elements provide overcurrent protection by responding to heat generated during overload conditions, interrupting the circuit before motor windings sustain damage. The SMFH16 is a small-form factor component installed by licensed electricians and industrial maintenance technicians as part of motor control center (MCC) assemblies or standalone starter units. Its compact dimensions make it suitable for panel space-constrained installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClass SMF heater elements are used in commercial and industrial motor control applications where thermal overload protection is required. The SMFH16 fits into compatible Siemens overload relay blocks and is typically installed in motor starters protecting fractional to small integral horsepower motors. This heater element is a direct replacement component used during scheduled maintenance or after an overload event has caused the original element to fail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClass SMF form factor for use in compatible Siemens thermal overload relay blocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThermal response design interrupts circuit during sustained overload to protect motor windings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact size supports installation in space-constrained motor control enclosures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight construction at 0.044 pounds for easy handling during service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement heater element for use in Siemens Class SMF thermal overload relays and compatible motor starter assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the motor control circuit before removing or installing heater elements. Verify the heater element selection matches the motor full-load amperage and service factor per the overload relay manufacturer sizing chart. Do not energize the starter until the enclosure is fully closed and all components are properly seated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeater Class\u003c\/strong\u003e: SMF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.465 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.154 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.154 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.044 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 75455425934\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SIEMENS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: SMFH16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SIEMENS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51383432216882,"sku":"SMFH16","price":51.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/312677571.jpg?v=1782596396","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/siemens-smfh16-class-smf-overload-heater-element","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
