Surface Mount Fuses Ceramic Fuse > 437 Series RoHS Pb 437 Series 1206 Fast-Acting Fuse Description This 100% Lead-free, RoHS compliant and Halogen-free fuse series has been designed specifically to provide over current protection to circuits might encounter high working ambient temperatures (up to 150C). The general design ensures excellent temperature stability and performance reliability. In addition to this, the high It values typical of the Littelfuse Ceramic Fuse family ensure high inrush current withstand capability. Features Operating Temperature Suitable for both leaded from -55C to +150C and lead-free reflow / Agency Approvals wave soldering 100% Lead-free, Halogen- Free and RoHS compliant UL Recognized to UL/ Agency Agency File Number Ampere Range CSA/NMX 248-1 and UL/ E10480 0.250A - 8A CSA/NMX 248-14 29862 0.250A - 8A Applications LCD Displays Scanners Servers Data Modems Printers Electrical Characteristics for Series % of Ampere Additional Information Ampere Rating Opening Time at 25C Rating 100% 250mA - 8A 4 hours, Minimum 250% 750mA - 8A 5 seconds, Maximum 350% 250mA -500mA 5 seconds, Maximum 350% 750mA - 8A 1 second, Maximum Datasheet Resources Samples Electrical Specifications by Item Agency Approvals Ampere Max.

AC Interrupting Rating tested at rated voltage with unity power factor. DC Interrupting Rating tested at rated voltage with time constant < 0.8 msec. 2. Nominal Resistance measured with < 10% rated current. 3. Contact Littelfuse if application transient surges are less than 1 ms. 4. Nominal Voltage Drop measured at rated current after temperature has stabilized. Devices designed to carry rated current for 4 hours minimum. It is recommended that devices be operated continuously at no more than 80% rated current. See Temperature Re-rating Curvefor additional re-rating information.
