Fast-Acting High-Current Chip Fuse Helps Board Space
Tyco Electronics has introduced a 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.
The 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.
