Elektron Technology, owner of the
Arcolectric, Bulgin and Sifam electronics
manufacturing brands, has introduced
the FX0442 and FX0443; two new
vertical,
PCB-mounting
fuseholder
designs in Bulgin’s already extensive
fuseholder range.
Accommodating 5 x 20mm fuses and
rated at 10A, 250V ac with maximum
power
dissipation
of
2.5W,
the
FX0442 and FX0443 are designed and
manufactured for volume applications
where PCB mounting offers a fast,
economic method of integrating the
fuse element into the circuit.
Both the FX0442 and FX0443 have
straight PC spills with either hand-release
or screwdriver/tool release caps.
The caps are bayonet-fitting for quick,
reliable insertion and removal of the
fuse.
Contact resistance of both fuseholders is
<10mΩ and insulation resistance is rated
at >10MΩ at 500V dc.
Qualified
Both fuseholders are qualified to
shock-protection category PC2, meaning
live parts are inaccessible with a standard
test finger in accordance with IEC60529.
Using nylon and polyester flame
retardant materials with flammability
ratings to UL94V-0 at 85˚C they pass the
glow wire test to EN60695-2-12.
Both fuseholders also have international
approvals from VDE and UL covering
both the USA and Canada.
