Schurter, a manufacturer of fuses, connectors, circuit breakers, input systems and EMC products, now offers a broad range of chip fuses developed specially for low-loss and precise overcurrent protection in secondary circuitry.
Ideal for a wide range of applications such as mobile and battery-operated devices in sensor technology and industrial electronics, the Schurter chip fuses are available in a number of different current ratings from 50 mA to 25 A at a rated voltage of up to 125 VAC/VDC. Depending on the version and voltage ratings, a breaking capacity of up to 600 A is reached.
The new chip fuses offer extremely precise opening times and minimal power dissipation, says the company, and their solid construction makes them resistant to vibrations and pulse loads, In addition, the SMD contacts, some of which are gold-plated, have a positive influence on the wettability, storage life and electrical quality of the chip fuses.
All Schurter chip fuses come with cURus certification, and the USI 1206 is also VDE-approved.
