Fast-acting fuses help provide overcurrent protection on systems using DC power sources of up to 63VDC, and help facilitate the development of more reliable, high-performance consumer electronics such as laptops, multimedia devices, cell phones, and other portable electronics. Available in industry standard 0402, 0603, and 1206 chip sizes, the surface-mount fuse line offers small size, high reliability, strong arc suppression characteristics, and the highest current ratings available in both 0402 and 0603 form factors. The fuse features clear time characteristics of 4 hours minimum at 100% of rated current, 5 seconds maximum at 250% of rated current, and 0.05 seconds maximum at 400% of rated current.

Surface-Mount Fuses Advantage
The fuse's monolithic, multilayer design provides the highest hold current in the smallest footprint, reduces diffusion-related aging, improves product reliability and resilience, and enhances high temperature performance in a wide range of circuit protection designs. The lead-free device is designed for operating temperatures between -55ºC to +125ºC, and withstands soldering temperatures of up to 260ºC for 60 seconds maximum.
