170E8347

Electrical, Specialty Fuses are indispensable safety components for electronic products, and their types are diverse. Among them, 170E8347 is widely used in industrial applications because it provides reliable protection against overcurrent and overload protection. This article will explain the application fields and working principle of 170E8347.

Application Fields & Working Principle of 170E8347

The 170E8347 is a fast-acting, plug-in type fuse with a rated current of 0.75A (75mA) and a rated voltage of 250VAC, making it suitable for low-power industrial applications. Applications of this fuse range from industrial power supplies, electric motors, and precision instruments, to industrial control circuits, alternative energy sources, and data networks.

The fuse works by sensing the current flow in its circuit. When the current reaches a certain amount, the fuse quickly "blows" and breaks the circuit. The fuse is composed of two strips of metal, a metal strip on the anode side and a fuse strip that crosses the middle to form a connection between the metal strip and the negative side. When the current passing through it is too large, the metal strip on the anode side melts or burns out, and the conductivity between the two strips is interrupted, thus protecting the circuit.

Characteristics of the 170E8347

The 170E8347 fuse has a compact shape, light weight and fast response time. It is UL recognized and CSA certified for its high safety standards. In addition, the fuse is also designed to withstand extreme temperature variations, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments. Moreover, the fuse has high UL recognized breaking capacity (2.6A@ 250VAC) and can effectively prevent injury damage caused by overloads

When selecting fuses for industrial applications, the 170E8347 is an excellent choice because of its long and reliable protection capability. The compact and fast-acting fuse ensures the reduction of downtime with quick response time, accurate time-limit protection, and long service life. Furthermore, it can be quickly inserted into a circuit without the need for soldering, making it easy to install.

Conclusion

The 170E8347 fuse is a fast-acting, plug-in type fuse with a wide variety of uses. Its performance advantages include fast response time, high UL recognized breaking capacity, and long service life. It is an ideal choice for low-power industrial applications because it is UL recognized and CSA certified for its high safety standards.
