1CIH07

1CIH07 Application Field and Working Principle

1CIH07 electrical specialty fuses are compact, non-linear, and non-adjustable devices designed to protect electrical circuits from overcurrent, overvoltage, short-circuit and overload. In the event of an overcurrent, the fuse melts and breaks the electrical connection, thus protecting the electrical system from further damage. The working principle of the 1CIH07 is based on the heat-sink and current limiting phenomena caused by the combination of the laser-cut gold melting components and the shape of the terminals.

Design

1CIH07 fuses are constructed with a metal body with integrated laser-cut gold component and fused with a silver trip in-line contact. The laser-cut gold component is designed to work as a thermal conductor that carries the electrical current and dissipates the resulting heat to the components surrounding it. The heat-sink and current limiting effects of the laser-cut gold component offer superior protection in the event of a short-circuit, overvoltage, or overload.

The 1CIH07 fuse is also equipped with an integrated insulator and enhanced protection against shock in addition to its superior current limiting characteristics. The insulator helps protect against arcing, while the enhanced shock protection helps minimize the possibility of arcing near the fuse.

Application Field

1CIH07 fuses are highly suitable for applications in a wide range of industries, including but not limited to petrochemical, oil and gas, automotive, aerospace and telecommunications. The small fuse size and overall enhanced protection make them ideal for use in equipment such as switches, regulators, transformers, rectifiers and other equipment that require protection against electric shock and overload.

1CIH07 fuses are commonly used in circuits such as low- and medium-voltage AC and DC circuits, surge current-limiting circuits, and AC-DC power conversion circuits. They are also suitable for numerous applications in both domestic and commercial settings, including air conditioners, refrigerators, computers, printers, lighting and electrical appliances.

Working Principle

The 1CIH07 fuse works on the principle of heat-sink and current limiting. The laser-cut gold component and the shape of the terminals work together to dissipate the heat generated by the current flowing through the fuse. This helps limit the current to a safe amount, as the heat is dissipated from the component without causing any damage to other components or the surrounding environment.

The 1CIH07 fuse is designed to function when the current reaches a certain level, at which point the heat generated by the current melts the gold component and acts as a bridge between the terminals, thus forming an electrical connection and allowing the current to flow. As the current passes through the gold component, it is dissipated as heat and the component begins to cool off, thus restoring the electrical connection and allowing the circuit to continue functioning normally.

Conclusion

1CIH07 fuses are a great choice for circuits that require current limiting and enhanced protection against electric shock and overload. The small fuse size and enhanced protection offered by the laser-cut gold component make them ideal for use in a variety of different industrial and domestic applications. The working principle of 1CIH07 is based on the heat-sink and current limiting phenomena which protects the circuit from overcurrent, voltage, short-circuit and overload.
