Littelfuse introduces time-delay fuses with enhanced overcurrent protection and surge resistance

     Littelfuse Corporation, a global leader in circuit protection, announces the introduction of the 835 series of time-delay porcelain AC fuses. The 835 series is Littelfuse's first with unmatched I2t values. When the DC voltage is 250V, the maximum breaking current is 1,500 A; 1.5kA 8/20µs surge capacity and fuses in 5x20 packages. Rated current 5A, 6.3A and 8A available.

     The fuses are available in tubular and lead-in packages that can withstand frequent power surges and protect electronic devices installed in environments susceptible to surges. The 835 series fuse meets all the specifications of the global IEC 60127-2(Standard Manual 5) for time-delay fuses. RoHS compliant, 100% lead free.

     Ben Zheng, Global Product Manager for 835 Series Fuses, said: "As LED/LCD TVS become more affordable, are widely installed in commercial and  public locations and face higher AC line transient and lightning surge threats throughout their life cycle, the 835 series fuses reduce the risk of faulty fuses and withstand higher and more frequent power surges than other industry solutions. This increases reliability and durability. For electronic device manufacturers, this reduces failure rates and minimizes returns, thereby cutting repair and warranty costs."
