SMD fuse provides 1,500-A breaking capacity

The UMT-H version of the universal modular fuses provides 1,500-A breaking capacity at rated voltages of 277 Vac/250 Vdc. The high breaking capacity of the UMT-H makes this time-lag fuse suitable for applications with high short-circuit currents.

The modular fuse measures 5.3 x 16 mm and is a smaller than the 5 x 20 mm cartridge fuses and offers equal technical specifications. The fuse suits applications where a cartridge fuse is used, including primary protection of PCB’s for over current and short circuit protection, sensors and power supplies. It can be used for applications requiring components for explosion protection, such as first responder equipment, industrial controls exposed to chemical environments, and lighting ballasts. It is offered with six rated currents from 160 mA to 2 A. Pricing starts at $0.93 ea/100 pieces.
