Littelfuse is an industrial technology manufacturing company committed to powering a sustainable, interconnected and safer world. On October 15, the company launched the 871 series of ultra-high current SMD fuses. This innovative series is a supplement to the 881 series, providing 150A and 200A fuse rated currents, which is a major upgrade to the 881 series' 125A maximum rated current. The 871 Fuse Series provides electronic designers with a single-fuse, surface-mount solution that eliminates the need for parallel fuse configurations.
The 871 Series High Current SMD Fuses are the first and only small size SMD fuses to feature extra-large current ratings of 150A and 200A. Previously, only much larger through-hole fuses could offer this rating. This advancement addresses the challenges of higher power requirements and limited fuse current ratings, providing a streamlined solution for modern electronic designs.
Product Features and Benefits:
*Maximum Rated Current: Available in 150A and 200A models, a single fuse is used to meet higher power requirements;
*Space-Saving Design: A smaller fuse solution that saves more PCB space compared to larger traditional through-hole fuses;
*Simplified Design: Eliminates the need for parallel fuses, reduces component count, and simplifies the bill of materials (BOM);
*Optimized Efficiency: Enables electronic engineers to optimize designs for smaller, more space-saving products.
The 871 Series fuses are ideal for high-power applications in a variety of markets, including:
*Data Centers: Providing reliable protection for critical infrastructure;
*Networking Infrastructure: Ensuring robust performance in harsh environments;
*Servers/Racks: Enhancing power management and efficiency in server and rack systems.
The 871 Series fuses offer high current ratings in a compact package, allowing designers to meet their power requirements while reducing the required component count and overall size of the final product. This makes it an ideal solution for electronics engineers looking to simplify their designs and save valuable PCB space.
