Surface Mount Fuses Ceramic Fuse > 438 Series RoHS Pb 438 Series 0603 Fast-Acting Fuse HF Description The 438 Series is a 100% Lead-free, RoHS compliant and Halogen-free fuse series designed specifically to provide over-current protection to circuits that operate under high working ambient temperature up to 150C. The general design ensures excellent temperature stability and performance reliability. The high It values which is typical in 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, RoHS Agency Agency File Number Ampere Range compliant and Halogen- Recognized to UL/CSA/ free NMX 248-1 and UL/CSA/ E10480 0.250A 6A NMX 248-14 29862 0.250A 6A Applications Handheld Electronics Hard Disk Drives LCD Displays SD Memory Cards Electrical Characteristics for Series Battery Packs % of Ampere Ampere Rating Opening Time at 25C Additional Information Rating 100% 0.25A 6A 4 Hours, Minimum 250% 0.25A 6A 5 Seconds, Maximum Datasheet Resources Samples Electrical Specifications by Item Ampere Max.
