Fuse holders - 03480877Z application field and working principle

The 03480877Z Fuseholder is a mechanical holder designed for use with a wide range of miniature fuse products. Suitable for both wall mounted and din rail applications, the 03480877Z fuse holder is designed to ensure the secure connection of a electrical fuse in a variety of applications. The 03480877Z fuse holder is a 2-pole installation device designed to be used in domestic, commercial, and industrial applications where a power source needs to be cut off from its consumer.

Application Field

The 03480877Z is suitable for providing interruptible protection to low voltage electrical circuits with fuses up to 16A. Common applications for 03480877Z Fuseholders include lighting, control circuits for motors, pumps, and solenoids. It can also be used as a protective device in power supplies, computers, and audio systems. The 03480877Z Fuseholder is also suitable for use in power sources with inductive loads as it can handle excess current generated during start-ups.

Working Principle

The 03480877Z fuse holder consists of a housing, a pallet assembly and a mounting base. The mechanical latch securely holds the fuse in the middle section of the device, securing it both electrically and mechanically. The housing consists of two pieces, each made of a durable thermoplastic material and features an ergonomically shaped lever, which aids in the insertion and replacement of the fuse. The plastic pallet is designed to hold the fuse in place, while the base allows for mounting to the base board and connection of the fuse to the circuit.

The 03480877Z fuse holder features a positive locking mechanism, which ensures that the fuse is properly secured. The pallet assembly features spring-loaded contacts that allow for a reliable electrical connection between the fuse and the electrical circuit. Additionally, the latch releases the fuse only when positively actuated, preventing the fuse from accidental displacement.

Conclusion

The 03480877Z Fuseholder is a reliable, versatile device used to protect electrical circuits from overcurrents. Its positive locking mechanism allows for secure fuse connection and its ergonomic lever allows for quick and easy fuse insertion and removal. Thanks to its design, the 03480877Z is suitable for a variety of applications including lighting, audio systems, pumps, motors, and power supplies.
