Surface Mount Fuses

Ceramic Fuse > 437 Series

437 Series 1206 Fast-Acting Fuse

Description This 100% Lead-free, RoHS compliant and Halogen-free fuse series has been designed specifically to provide over current protection to circuits that see high working ambient temperatures (up to 150C). The general design ensures excellent temperature stability and performance reliability. In addition to this, the high It values typical of the Littelfuse Ceramic Fuse family ensure high inrush current withstand capability. Agency Approvals

Notes: 1. AC Interrupting Rating tested at rated voltage with unity power factor. DC Interrupting Rating tested at rated voltage with time constant < 0.8 msec. 2. Nominal Resistance measured with < 10% rated current. 3. Nominal Melting It measured at 1 msecs. opening time. 4. Nominal Voltage Drop measured at rated current after temperature has stabilized.

Devices designed to carry rated current for 4 hours minimum. It is recommended that devices be operated continuously at no more than 80% rated current. See Temperature Rerating Curvefor additional rerating information. Devices designed to be mounted with marking code facing up.
