Littelfuse Introduces Industry's First 125V Subminiature Surface Mount
Fuse with Current Rating Above 15A
456 Series fuse offers high-amp circuit protection in a tiny
package compatible with faster pick and place electronics assembly processes
DES PLAINES, Illinois, September 10, 2007
- Addressing customer requests for smaller embedded device protection
of higher-current applications,
Littelfuse (NASDAQ:
LFUS) has launched a new series of fast-acting ROHS and UL compliant
20A and 30A subminiature surface-mount fuses.
Measuring only
10.10-mm (0.397-in.) long and 3.12-mm (0.123 in.) width and height,
Littelfuse Nano2 456 Series ceramic fuses are available in 20A and 30A
ratings, with interrupting ratings are 100A at 125 VAC and 300A at 65
VAC respectively.
The 456 Series was designed for situations
where an ultra-small profile and higher-amp, pick and place surface
mount fuse is desired.
Conceived as a custom solution for a
world leading web server manufacturer, this product is now being offered
globally. In addition to serving as an embedded secondary protection
solution for PC servers, the 456 Series is also targeted to protect
applications such as power supplies, wireless base stations, large scale
storage systems and other higher current electronic systems.
The 456 Series enables circuit engineers to design-in reliable primary
and secondary over-current protection with a single miniature fuse.
Beyond the benefit of space-saving design, the 456 Series can serve
as a more stable and reliable alternative to using similar smaller-amp
Nano fuses in tandem. Prior to the introduction of the 456 Series, a
dual-fuse method was the only way to achieve circuit protection greater
than 15A using Nano fuses.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...
