170M4513

The 170M4513 is an application-specific specialty fuse designed to protect circuits from abnormal current conditions. The fuse incorporates a variety of features to ensure its reliable performance in applications such as residential, commercial, automotive, or aerospace circuits. Because these protected circuits are essential to the safety of the system, the proper selection of a fuse for the particular application is critical.

Working Principle

The 170M4513 has an internal construction based on a ceramic tube filled with platinum-aluminide alloy. When the current through the device is increased beyond the rated value,the heat generated is sufficient to fuse the internal structures of the device. This causes an open circuit to form between the terminals of the fuse and the flow of current is stopped. The internal construction of the 170M4513 ensures that the device will open very quickly, enabling the protected circuit to be disconnected in a few milliseconds. This promotes the safety of the circuit by preventing damage from overload or short-circuit current.

Application Field

The 170M4513 is a versatile fuse that can be used in a variety of applications. It is primarily intended for use in circuits that require high current protection but also has applications in low current circuits. Examples of applications that can benefit from using the 170M4513 include residential, commercial, or industrial circuit protection, automotive circuit protection, and aerospace circuit protection. In each of these applications, the fuse can be placed in either the main power line or the branch lines, both of which are necessary for effective protection of the circuit.

The 170M4513 can also be used in circuits where space is a premium, as its small size allows it to be placed in tight spots. Additionally, its temperature rating of up to 175 degrees Celsius makes it suitable for use in high temperature applications such as automotive or industrial circuits. Finally, the 170M4513 is designed to be UL-recognized, so it can be used in UL-approved circuit protection systems.

Conclusion

The 170M4513 is a versatile specialty fuse that can be used in a variety of applications. With its small size, high temperature rating, and UL recognition, the 170M4513 provides reliable protection for circuits exposed to abnormal current. The internal construction of the fuse ensures that it will activate quickly and thus protect the circuit from damages. As a result, the 170M4513 is an excellent choice for any application that requires reliable protection from sudden current changes.
