0318002.MXP

Fuses are a critical component used for circuit protection. Without them, fail-safe tracking, over-voltage protection, power conversion efficiency, and device lifespan will suffer. The 0318002.MXP is an axial lead fuse with advanced characteristics that allow for improved circuit performance. It features a time-delay that acts like a circuit breaker and recovers in milliseconds after an over-current condition. This article will cover the application field and working principle of the 0318002.MXP.

The 0318002.MXP is suitable for a variety of applications including telecommunications, telecom networking, fire protection, HVAC, material handling, and board-level circuit protection. It has an axial lead design that enables easy installation into PCBs and can be mounted directly onto the board or on a terminal strip. The time-delay feature of the 0318002.MXP provides reliable over-current protection and is rated to prevent nuisance trips when used in line with UL/CSA listed circuit breakers. Its quick-recovering feature ensures the circuit remains protected while minimizing disruption to your business operations.

The 0318002.MXP has a rated voltage of 48 volts DC and is capable of handling up to 20 amps of current. It has a temperature rating of 105°C and is available in packages ranging from 1-6 pieces. The 0318002.MXP is UL recognized and meets industry standards, making it suitable for a variety of applications. It is designed to melt at a certain amperage level, interrupting the flow of current. This action prevents further protection from over current and prevents the circuit from experiencing damage.

The working principle of the 0318002.MXP is based on a thermally-sensitive material. When an over-current condition is encountered, the material inside the fuse heats up, melting the fuse. This interrupts the flow of current and activates the time-delay feature. This feature ensures reliable protection without tripping at inopportune times. The fuse resets itself in milliseconds, allowing the circuit to operate safely and uninterrupted.

The 0318002.MXP is a reliable and cost-effective solution for circuit protection. It is UL/CSA approved and rated to handle up to 20 amps of current. Its time-delay feature allows it to recover quickly after an over-current event, keeping your circuit protected. It is available in packages ranging from 1-6 pieces and is suitable for a variety of applications. The 0318002.MXP is an ideal solution for reliable and efficient circuit protection.
