Schurter has improved its PFMC series of polymer based 4.5 x 3.2mm PTC fuses, and renamed it the PFMD series.
The 1206's super quick-acting tripping time is especially suited to sensitive electronic devices that require extremely reliable overcurrent protection.
A legend marking provides visible indication of the fuse's ampere rating, making it easy to identify and track inventories.
The USF 1206 is an industry standard 1.60mm in length and 3.20mm in width with a low height of 0.60mm.
It is built according to UL248-1/248-14 and is cURus approved.
The fuse is lead-free, including the fusing element.
Resistance to soldering heat is 260C for 10s according to IEC60068-2-58.
Operating temperature range is -55 to +90C.
The USF 1206 is ideal for small handheld devices such as computer peripherals, PC cards, disk drives, modems, fax machines, games consoles, laptops and other portable electronic devices.
Devices are available taped in 1000-, 5000- and 15,000-piece reels. Request a free brochure from Schurter ...
