Schurter is expanding its range of surface mount chip fuses with the new 50 mA fuse in the USFF family. It features lower voltage loss and an exact opening time. The fuse thus offers a solution for the operation of sensitive electronic systems where such performance is critical. The surface mount chip fuse sets itself apart from standard commercial products through a lower voltage loss and an exact opening time. The wire-bonding technology used in the fuse allows stable, reliable operation at ambient temperatures from -55°C to 90°C, making it good for protection of applications such as in sensors, ICs, and batteries. The new fuse is particularly well suited for the protection of smart metering systems. The product has cURus certification, is halogen-free and conforms to RoHS.
