Press Release Summary:
Accommodating 5 x 20 mm fuses, FX0442 and FX0443 are vertical, PCB-mounting fuseholders rated at 10 A, 250 Vac with max power dissipation of 2.5 W. Both feature straight PC spills with hand-release or screwdriver/tool release caps; latter are bayonet-fitting for accelerated fuse insertion and removal. Qualified to shock-protection category PC2, products offer less than 10 mW contact resistance and greater than 10 MW insulation resistance at 500 Vdc.
Original Press Release:
Elektron Technology Announces New PCB Mounting Bulgin Fuseholders
Romford, UK - Elektron Technology, owner of the Arcolectric, Bulgin and Sifam electronics manufacturing brands, today introduces the FX0442 and FX0443; two new vertical, PCB-mounting fuseholder designs in Bulgin's already extensive fuseholder range.
Accommodating 5 x 20mm fuses and rated at 10A, 250V ac with maximum power dissipation of 2.5W, the FX0442 and FX0443 are designed and manufactured for volume applications where PCB mounting offers a fast, economic method of integrating the fuse element into the circuit.
Both the FX0442 and FX0443 have straight PC spills with either hand-release or screwdriver/tool release caps. The caps are bayonet-fitting for quick, reliable insertion and removal of the fuse. Contact resistance of both fuseholders is <10mW and insulation resistance is rated at >10MW at 500V dc.
Both fuseholders are qualified to shock-protection category PC2, meaning live parts are inaccessible with a standard test finger in accordance with IEC60529. Using nylon and polyester flame retardant materials with flammability ratings to UL94V-0 at 85°C they pass the glow wire test to EN60695-2-12. Both fuseholders also have international approvals from VDE and UL covering both The USA and Canada.
"Elektron Technology is proud to introduce quality products like the FX0442 and FX0443 that offer engineers tangible benefits through what are actually quite simple design enhancements", points out Owen Kivlin, Technical Director of Elektron Technology. "The design of the FX0442 and FX0443 offers designers another degree of flexibility on PCB orientation with the benefits of a durable wire-free assembly. PCB mounting certainly improves the build quality of the end products, as well as being easier to assemble".
The FX0442 and FX0443 are available today. Press images of FX0442 and FX0443 can be downloaded from http://www.eml.com/images/ele003.jpg
