It is also suitable for use as a holder for SOT-23 packages. The 020901.5MXP has a rated voltage of 125V, and a melt-in current of 0.5A.

Application Field

The 020901.5MXP fuse is designed primarily for protecting circuits from overcurrents. It is used in a variety of electronic applications, such as computers, consumer electronics, and automotive electronics. Additionally, it can also be used as a holder for SOT-23 packages. The 020901.5MXP is designed for use in high-temperature and moist conditions and is rated to operate within -40 to +150 degree Celsius temperature range.

Working Principle

The 020901.5MXP fuse operates on a simple principle—as soon as the current exceeds the rated value, the fuse melts and disrupts the current flow in the protected circuit. The melting of the fuse is accompanied by a loud sound, as the fuse element is designed to reach a higher voltage than the rated voltage before it melts. This ensures that in the case of a major fault, the sound of the fusing element permits it to be detected.

Advantages

The 020901.5MXP fuse is designed for use in a wide range of applications. It is rated for rapid operation, with a maximum operating current of 0.5A. Also, the fuse element of the 020901.5MXP is designed to reach a higher voltage before it melts, ensuring reliable protection of the circuits from overcurrents. Additionally, the 020901.5MXP fuse is compatible with lead-free processes, making it ideal for modern manufacturing methods.
