BK/HTB-96I-R

Fuseholders – BK/HTB-96I-R Application Field and Working Principle

Fuseholders are used in electrical and electronic circuits to provide protection against electrical overcurrent conditions. BK/HTB-96I-R fuseholders are a type of fuseholder which provide IP40 degree of ingress protection (IP40) in order to protect users from contact with live parts of the installation. The BK/HTB-96I-R has a wide range of applications from domestic installations to industrial environments.

Construction

The construction of the BK/HTB-96I-R fuseholder is quite simple. It consists of a clip-in base which supports the fuse element. The clip-in base is made of thermally insulated plastic material with a spring-loaded catch for inserting and removing the fuse element. The internal contacts are made of brass and the external body is made of flame-retardant plastic material. The contact between the fuse element and the internal contacts is ensured by a pressure spring located in the clip-in base.

Operating Principle

When the fuse element is inserted in the BK/HTB-96I-R, the pressure spring forces the contact points on the fuse element to make contact with the internal contacts of the clip-in base. This ensures that current is supplied to the circuit. When the current in the circuit exceeds the preset values determined by the fuse element, the fuse element melts or “blows” and interrupts the current supply to the circuit. This would then protect the circuit against overcurrent conditions. The BK/HTB-96I-R can then be “reset” by replacing the blown fuse with a new one.

Applications

The BK/HTB-96I-R can be used to protect various electrical and electronic circuits ranging from domestic installations to industrial applications. It is suitable for use in domestic and industrial environments where ingress protection requirements are rated up to IP40. It can be used to protect wiring, circuits, switches, relays, fuses, and other components in electrical and electronic circuits.

Conclusion

The BK/HTB-96I-R is a type of fuseholder that provides IP40 degree of ingress protection and is suitable for use in various applications from domestic to industrial environments. It is designed to protect electrical and electronic circuits from overcurrent conditions. The construction and operating principle of the BK/HTB-96I-R fuseholder are quite simple which makes it an ideal choice for protecting electrical and electronic circuits.
