15CLPT-1

15CLPT-1 fuses, also known as chip-type fuses, are low-voltage, current-limiting fuses that offer a measure of protection for low-power electronic components and systems. These fuses are designed to prevent the damage to a device caused by voltage or current that exceeds the device’s tolerance levels. The 15CLPT-1 fuses provide a high levels of protection to sensitive devices and systems, while also offering a quick response and reliable performance.

The 15CLPT-1 fuses are constructed of a hermetically sealed ceramic tube that has two electrodes, a cathode and a anode, which are enclosed in an external casing. The fuse is filled with a combination of gas and vaporized infusible material and has two electrical contact points on either end. When an electrical current passes through the fuse, the infusible material vaporizes and interrupts the current flow, effectively acting as a barrier. The fuse then melts, effectively disabling the circuit.

The primary application of 15CLPT-1 fuses is to protect electronic equipment from over-current or over-voltage conditions. The working principle of the fuses is based on the interaction of the infusible material and the two electrodes. When the rated current is exceeded, a heat-causing reaction takes place between the infusible material and the two electrodes, effectively interrupting the circuit. The vaporized material then effectively forms an insulating barrier, preventing any further current from passing through the circuit.

In addition to its primary application as a protective device, the 15CLPT-1 fuse can also be used to test for continuity in an electrical circuit. The fuse acts as a verification device that can be used to detect any loose connections or faulty wiring in a device or system.

The 15CLPT-1 fuse is a popular choice for many electronic applications due to its high level of protection and reliable performance. Its compact size also makes it suitable for use in tight spaces, such as circuit boards. Its high current-limiting capabilities also make it ideal for use in a wide variety of low power applications.
