15600-14-20 Circuit Protection

Fuseholders

Fuseholders are inexpensive devices used to protect electrical, electronic, and optoelectronic circuits. They are used for holding electrical fuses to disconnect the power supply from circuits in the event of an overload or short circuit. The 15600-14-20 fuseholder is a simple two-pin device that can mount directly to the PCB using solder and serve as a connection point for a single fuse. This fuseholder is ideal for applications where PCB space and component cost are of primary consideration.

Application Field

The 15600-14-20 fuseholder is designed for use in a variety of high-power, low current applications. It is commonly found in automotive and consumer electronics, as well as electrical and medical equipment. The fuseholder is best suited for use with IR (manual reset) and ceramic (automatic reset) fuses, and is typically used to protect high-current analog or power supply circuits from short circuit or thermal overload conditions.

Working Principle

The primary purpose of a fuseholder is to protect the circuit it is connected to. The fuseholder works by detecting when the current flowing through the circuit exceeds a certain threshold, at which point the fuse will blow, disconnecting the power supply from the circuit. The 15600-14-20 fuseholder consists of two pins (anode and cathode) separated by a metal strip. The anode and cathode pins are soldered to a circuit board and a fuse is inserted between them. The current passing through the fuse is monitored by the fuseholder, and if it exceeds a certain threshold, the fuse will blow, disconnecting the power supply from the circuit.

The 15600-14-20 fuseholder is a simple but effective device with a number of advantages. It is compact, cost effective, and easy to use. It also allows for a fast response time in preventing damage to a circuit in the event of an overload or short circuit. Finally, it is designed to meet the safety requirements of UL/CSA and IEC/EN standards.

The 15600-14-20 fuseholder is an important device for protecting sensitive electronics and electrical systems from short circuits and overloads. It is a simple and cost-effective way to ensure the safe operation of these circuits and systems.
