043501.5KR

Overview

The 043501.5KR is a low-voltage, time-delay (quick-acting) fuse type. Its primary function is to protect the vehicle and the electrical systems from potential overcurrents. The fuse has a short response time compared to standard automotive or residential fuses, and is designed with a thermal cut-out to limit current over a specific time period. This helps ensure that the fuse does not blow out immediately, giving it enough time to safely dissipate heat.

Application Field

The 043501.5KR is ideal for use in a wide range of automotive, home, marine and industrial applications. It is suitable for use in direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) systems that require a high degree of overcurrent protection. It can be used in systems where extra protection is needed due to the presence of high temperatures, high-voltage, long-length wire runs, high-amperage circuits, and harmful environments.

The 043501.5KR fuse has a current limitation of 0.5A at a 205VAC/28VDC with a quick time action. This is suitable for use with circuits that have a higher current load as it will allow it to reach its peak current before it trips. It also offers a wide range of power capacity to suit a variety of applications.

Working Principle

The 043501.5KR fuse has been designed to provide protection against electrical overcurrents in automotive, home, and marine applications. It consists of a metal strip that is heated to a predetermined value exceed beyond a particular circuit current. This causes the fuse to "trip," meaning that it stops conducting current until the circuit is reset. The heated metal strip will cool down slowly over time, allowing the fuse to absorb and dissipate the excess energy.

The 043501.5KR fuse is designed with a quick-acting time-delay feature, which allows it to react quickly to an overcurrent. This prevents the fuse from tripping too soon, giving it enough time to safely dissipate the excess energy without burning out. The quick-acting feature also helps to keep the fuse from being worn out too soon, which helps to ensure its long lifespan.

Conclusion

The 043501.5KR fuse is designed to provide maximum protection and performance for a wide range of applications in the automotive, home, marine, and industrial fields. It offers fast response time, wide current capacity, and thermal cut-out features to help keep circuits safe from potential overcurrents. This makes it ideal for use in DC and AC systems that require a high degree of protection.
