Tyco Electronics Expands Fuse Line with Devices Exhibiting Some of the Highest Current Ratings Available in the 1206 Form Factor.

Product Features

• Glass ceramic monolithic structure provides stability in application cycling
• High-current rating in a small package allows more efficient use in system space
• Strong arc suppression in overcurrent conditions MENLO PARK, Calif. -- Feb. 17, 2009 -- Tyco Electronics introduces a new line of fast-acting, high-current chip fuses. Helping provide overcurrent protection on power supplies, servers, communications equipment, voltage regulator modules, and other space-constrained applications, the surface mount chip fuse offers strong arc suppression characteristics and some of the highest current ratings available in the industry-standard 1206 form factor. Key device parameters for the high-current fuse include:
• rated current values up to 20A with voltage ratings up to 24VDC
• operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C
• 100A interrupt rating at rated voltage
• some of the highest I2t values available in the 1206 form factor
• halogen free and RoHS compliant.

The fuse's monolithic, multilayer design enhances high temperature performance and contributes to the high inrush current withstanding capability. "The new high-current chip fuse complements and expands Tyco Electronics' line of overcurrent protection devices," said Steven Deffley, global product manager, Fuse Line. "This small form factor device can help designers optimize board space requirements in high-current, high-temperature applications." The devices are available on 178mm diameter reels for compatibility with high-volume assembly methods.
