New Surface-Mount 2410 Fuses Provide High I2t Characteristics

TE Circuit Protection announces the 2410SFV family of 20 new AC/DC fuses featuring current ratings from 0.5A to 20.0A. The 2410 fuses help provide secondary-side circuit protection, conserve board space and reduce design costs in a broad array of high-voltage, high-current designs. Typical applications include home appliances (LCD TV LED backlighting, LCD TV CCFL backlighting) and LED lighting, as well as office automation, industrial and medical equipment.

Available in an ultra-thin (6.1x2.5mm) SMD package, 2410SFV fuses offer I2t characteristics as high as any similar SMD device on the market. They also offer a nominal cold resistance (DCR) from 0.0034Ω to 0.231Ω and a high-interrupt current from 50A to 300A. Rated for operation at temperatures ranging from -55 degrees C up to 125 degrees C, the fuses' high-inrush current withstand capability minimizes nuisance tripping during transient overload conditions.

As wire-in-air (WIA) fuses, the 2410SFV products feature a straight wire configuration. As surface-mount devices they provide a rugged, single-piece package that speeds assembly time and is compatible with standard pick-and-place SMD processes. Additionally, the 2410SFV fuses' structure minimizes the risk of the end cap of the device becoming dislodged, a feature not offered by most competitive devices. In accordance with industry standards and trends for green products, the fuses are 100% lead- and halogen-free and are RoHS-compliant and UL listed.

"Today's consumer, appliance, lighting, power and telecom industries increasingly demand designs that save board space and assembly costs and also meet stringent performance, safety and environmental requirements," said Jason Zhao, Senior Product Manager. "These new AC/DC fuses exceed industry standards and offer a wide range of cost and performance benefits. In addition to providing a comprehensive selection of 2410SFV fuses with market-leading features, TE Circuit Protection offers global design support to help applications engineers identify the best solution for their design challenges."

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
