Circuit & System Protection
Bourns has released a new line of thin film chip fuses. The SinglFuse SF series provides highly reliable over-current protection in three surface mountable footprint sizes. Each product size features two series to cover the fusing types of fast-acting and slow-blow. The new series expands Bourns’ circuit protection portfolio with a line of thin film chip fuses for use in applications such as LCD monitors, digital cameras, cellphones, industrial controllers and rechargeable battery packs.
SinglFuse products protect against a wide range of over-current events and feature current ratings from as low as 500 mA up to 7 A. The thin film design ensures high precision for specific fusing characteristics. Single-use thin film chip fuses are specifically designed for applications which require one-time acting fuses that allow a physical break in the circuit if a short circuit arises, eliminating the need for a circuit reset.
The SinglFuse line is RoHS compliant and halogen free.
