Fundamentals
Overview
TE Circuit Protection offers the widest selection of surface-mount
fuses available for addressing a broad range of overcurrent
protection applications. Helping to prevent costly damage and
ng
promote a safe environment for electronic and
electrical
nt
equipment, our single-use chip fuses provide performance stability
to support applications with current ratings from .5A up to 20A.
urrent
TE Circuit Protection also offers the telecom FT600 fuse for
fers
telecommunications applications. This telecom fuse helps comply
ons.
with North American overcurrent
protection requirements,
current
including Telcordia, GR-1089,
TIA-968-A
(formerly FCC Part 68),
and UL60950 3rd edition.

Introduced PCB assembly technology into 2410SFV fuses design

Fuse selection seems straightforward, in that, you pick one which has a current rating just a bit higher than your worstcase system

operating current. Unfortunately, it’s not that simple. There are derating considerations for operating current and application
temperature. Turn-on and other system operations (like processor speed changes or motor start up) cause current surges or
spikes that also require consideration when selecting a fuse. So selecting the right fuse for your application is not as simple as
knowing the nominal current drawn by the system.
Fuse Selection Flowchart
However, the basic considerations for fuse selection are shown in the flowchart presented in Figure 6. Following this flow chart
will help you select a fuse best suited for your application conditions.
