AVX’s miniature low current land grid array fuse provides accurate 125mA current rating

The UL E141069 approved, RoHS compliant Accu-Guard® Series fuse is ideal for handheld devices including, cell phones, PDAs, two-way radios, and video and digital cameras, in addition to hard disk drives (HDD), LCD screens, computers instrumentation, battery chargers and rechargeable battery packs.



“AVX’s Accu-Guard® thin film fuses are the most accurate precision fuses available on the market. The Accu-Guard® Series of fuses is based on thin-film technology which allows precise control of the component electrical and physical characteristics that is not possible with standard fuse technologies. As a leader in circuit protection devices, AVX is the first to offer a miniature 0402 low current series. Previously, customers were forced to choose between size and current rating,” said Sonja Brown, global circuit protection product manager at AVX.



The miniature 0402 Accu-Guard® features a fusing resistance >1MΩ. Its nickel solder coating is compatible with automatic soldering technologies.



The Accu-Guard® 0402 125mA rating is the first product offering in a planned series of low current fuses to include 100mA to 150mA range.



Typical prices range from $0.15 - $0.29 depending on volume for standard commercial product depending on volume.
