Littelfuse New 250 V Miniature Fuse/Clip Assembly Enables Easy Circuit Board Level Fuse Replacement
New 160 Series surface mount fuse/clip assembly offers high inrush current withstand capability and ability to replace fuses without exposing the circuit board and other components to the risks of rework solder heat
CHICAGO, Illinois, August 13, 2009 - Littelfuse (NASDAQ: LFUS) announces today the launch of the 160 Series 250V time-lag surface mount fuse/clip assembly device for over-current protection of printed circuit boards. The 160 Series is suitable for applications requiring both high current withstand capability for unpredictable low pulse/surge currents as well as quick and easy field replacement of blown fuse. It is RoHS compliant and Halogen-free.
In a dimension of approximately 10.90 mm (L) X 4.80 mm (W) X 4.80 mm (H), the 160 Series fuse offers the current ratings from 500mA to 5A, with a maximum inrush current withstand (I2t ) of 127A2secs and an interrupting rating of 50A at 250VAC. The fuse clip holder lowers the probability of fuse opening during momentary overloads. The fuse clip holder also makes possible field replacement of fuse which brings down rework and maintenance cost brought by the warranty on board replacements. As an intangible benefit, the field replaceable feature also avoids exposing other sensitive components to the risks of reworking and excessive soldering heat.
This fuse/clip assembly was designed particularly for LED lighting, lighting system, power converter and adaptor as well as telecom equipment. This product complements the broad line of Littelfuse surface mount fuses used on secondary side of power circuits, with ratings from 62mA to 15A at voltages from 24V to 350V.
The 160 Series is available in tape and reeled packaging, orders typically take 4-6 weeks ARO.
