Fuses go lead-free
Littelfuse has introduced lead-free versions of its axial-leaded 2AG series of subminiature glass fuses, 3AG glass and ceramic fuses, 3AB ceramic fuses and 5 x 20mm glass and ceramic-bodied fuses.
As Wickmann's UK Managing Director Bill Lawler said: "Holding sufficient stock locally is essential to ensure we meet both the short and long term requirements of our customers.
Increasing our stock enables us to satisfy the needs of customers of our competitors who are now knocking on our door.
We have been in Redditch for 16 years and have found it an ideal central supply point for our customers throughout the UK and Ireland".
Wickmann manufactures a wide range of miniature fuses and developed the first 5 x 20mm cartridge fuse in the 1930s.
Still a worldwide standard, this category offers the widest available range of internationally approved miniature fuses.
Other types include wire-ended and chip SMD fuses, resettable fuses and automotive fuses, together with suitable fuseholder ranges.
Applications include consumer, telecomms, industrial, medical and automotive electronics.
