Surface-mount polymer PTC fuses
Schurter has improved its PFMC series of polymer based 4.5 x 3.2mm PTC fuses, and renamed it the PFMD series.
Based on the design of the existing MGA fuse, which is made using thin-film technology, the new device meets the requirements of the space industry, which demands a hermetic seal and solid construction.
Furthermore, the new fuse offers consistent minimum and maximum clear times at overload currents regardless of vacuum conditions.
The compact 1206 footprint (3.2 x 1.55mm) is unique for a fuse in this market segment.
Target applications cover any equipment that is launched into orbit, with a specific focus on satellite power systems that operate up to 125V DC in vacuum environments.
This includes protection of power supplies, batteries and solar arrays.
Devices are offered on blister tape and come with extensive test reports. Request a free brochure from Schurter ...
