Littelfuse Introduces 508 Series 6.3 x 32mm Size Fuses for 1000V AC/DC
CHICAGO, Illinois - Littelfuse, Inc. (NASDAQ/NGS:LFUS), the leader in electronic circuit protection technology, today introduced its new 508 Series of compact ceramic-body fuses for high-energy applications. These 6.3x32mm cylindrical fuses have a remarkable circuit interrupting capacity of 10kA at 1000V AC/DC. They will be particularly attractive to multimeter and other instrumentation manufacturers that have found it difficult to obtain fuses this small to protect their sensitive electronic circuits from short circuits and high-energy fault currents.
By introducing the 508 Series, Littelfuse supports the industry trend toward smaller and smaller circuits and equipment footprints, while facilitating the use of such equipment in high-energy applications. The design of the 508 Series ensures these fuses will open quickly and safely to protect compact circuits and equipment under very high fault application conditions.
The 508 Series comes in two operating current ratings of 315mA and 500mA. Both of these ceramic-body cartridge style fuses are capable of interrupting 10kA at 1000V AC/DC. They are 100 percent lead-free and compliant with RoHS requirements. The 508 Series is also recognized under the component programs of the UL and CSA agencies.
