Fuses

A fuse is a highly reliable, relatively low-cost device which is used to protect a circuit from being destroyed from an overload or short circuit. By containing or managing the amount of excess energy, a fuse prevents undue shock and excessive current or current overloads that can potentially damage or destroy an electrical system and the components connected to it. The 021506.3MXF18P fuse is a standard type of fuse typically used for electronic devices and systems.

The 021506.3MXF18P fuse is a miniature, non-renewable, fast-acting fuse typically designed for low voltage and current applications. It has a ceramic body and a silver-plated copper alloy fuse element and is fitted with an end cap and proper contact pins. It comes with a range of amp current ratings from 0.45 to 10 amps, peak pulse amp ratings of 50 amps, and a voltage rating of 250 volts AC or DC. The 021506.3MXF18P fuse is designed with an LED indicator that glows when the fuse is blown or open.

Application Field

The 021506.3MXF18P fuse can be used in a variety of applications, such as automotive, medical, telecom, datacenter, residential, military, office, and industrial operations. Some of the more specific application areas are LED lighting systems, smoke/CO detectors, medical equipment, audio amplifiers, and automobile components. It is also suitable for power supplies, home appliances, HVAC systems, and motor controllers.

Working Principle

The 021506.3MXF18P fuse works by using the Joule effect, where electrical power is converted into heat when current flows through a conductor. During normal operation, the electric current passing through the device is below the amperage rating, so no heat is generated and the device remains cool. If the current is greater than the rated amperage, the heat generated causes the fuse element to melt and open the circuit, protecting the devices and/or system connected to it.

The 021506.3MXF18P fuse has a very fast response time, usually within one second or less, so it quickly disconnects the current from the circuit if there is an overload or short circuit. It is often used in critical systems, such as medical equipment and automobiles, where quick response time is necessary to protect critical components from a potentially damaging current overload.
