Schurter has extended its OGD series to include a version for SMD mounting. Like the original OGD through-hole design, the SMD version uses dual fuse clips that accept either five x 20 mm or ¼ x one ¼" cartridge fuses. The fuse block's dual capability facilitates the design of equipment that is compatible with worldwide standards. It also protects against having both type fuses loaded at the same time.
The new fuse block is made of RoHS-compliant materials that are heat-resistant and compatible with reflow solder process. It is approved by VDE for 10 A and UL/CSA for 16 A. It has a rated power acceptance of 4 W @ 10 A and ambient air temperature of 23°C. The OGD-SMD is specifically designed for automation, with packaging options that facilitate faster pick-and-place. An optional cover provides added safety.
Cartridge fuses are used predominantly throughout the world as an inexpensive and effective means of circuit protection. Applications span numerous electronic and electrical industries, wherein equipment is designed for both domestic and export markets.
