Raychem Circuit Protection, a business unit of Tyco Electronics, introduced RoHS-compliant slow blow surface-mount fuses. Produced in industry standard 1206 chip sizes, the fuse line is said to offer small size, high reliability, strong arc suppression characteristics and high current ratings for the 1206 form factor.
Ffor DC power applications of up to 63VDC, slow blow fuses provide overcurrent protection on systems that experience large and frequent current surges during normal operation. Available in current values from 1.0 to 8.0 A, applications include protection of power supplies, capacitor filter banks, LCD backlight inverters and electric motors.
Features:
• 4 hrs minimum at 100% of rated current;
• 120 sec. maximum and 1 sec. minimum at 200% of rated current;
• 3 sec. maximum and 0.1 sec. minimum at 300% rated current;
• 0.05 sec. maximum and 0.002 sec. minimum at 400% of rated current.
Designed for operating temperatures between -55º and +125ºC, withstands soldering temperatures up to 260ºC for 60 sec. maximum.
Available on 7 in. (178 mm) reels for high-volume assembly methods; are UL recognized.
