Current Fuses
Chip Fuses: Available in various sizes, including 0805 and 1206, these fuses utilize thin-film technology, enabling precise control of electrical characteristics. Their compact size makes them ideal for providing secondary protection in space-constrained applications, such as handheld portable electronic devices and various instruments.
Micro Fuses: Also known as chip fuses, they offer similar characteristics to chip fuses.
Plug Fuses: Common in automotive applications, sometimes also called forkbolt fuses.
Cartridge Fuses: Commonly used in switching power supplies and various power supply applications.
Temperature Fuses
RH Square Thermal Fuses: These fuses feature a plastic square housing and are made of a low-melting-point alloy, ensuring rapid triggering of the protection mechanism in high-temperature environments.
RP Resistor Thermal Fuses: These fuses typically have a body made of a low-melting-point alloy. RY Metal-Cased Thermal Fuse: Made of metal, the RY Metal-Cased Thermal Fuse is filled with an organic chemical heat sensor. It offers high sensitivity and precise operation, making it widely used in various appliances, including rice cookers, hair dryers, and electric motors.
Resettable Fuse
It automatically resets when an overcurrent causes a circuit to open. This type of fuse is reusable and suitable for overload protection.
Plug-in, stacked, and surface-mount fuses are all types of resettable fuses, offering varying sizes, rated currents, and operating times, making them suitable for different circuits and devices.
