Schurter offers its new 'easy-grab fuseblock cover', the OGN series, which it claims saves time during assembly as well as in test and service repair.
The all-in-one fuseblock solution is available pre-loaded with 5 x 20 mm fuse and fitted cover. It is available in tape and reel packaging for fully automated assembly. The easy-grab cover 'grabs' hold of the fuse, removing it when the cover is lifted. It simplifies removal and replacement of the fuse, especially in tight spaces.
It also improves safety, by eliminating direct contact with the fuse in circuit. The thermoplastic material of the OGN socket is rated UL 94V-0 and withstands high soldering temperatures. Mounting variations include surface mount with a footprint of 23 x 6 mm or through-hole with a pitch of 22,5 or 25 mm.
The OGN fuseblock is approved to a maximum of 10 A/250 V under UL, CSA and VDE. Its rated power acceptance at ambient air temperature is up to 4 W with or without the reflow cover, or 2,5 W with the transparent cover.
