3101.0036 Application Field and Working Principle

The 3101.0036 fuseholder, also known as the precision fuseholder, is commonly used in low voltage electronic and electrical enclosures and provides the necessary connection for accurate current sensing. The precision fuseholder is a surface-mount device designed to accept various fuse types for accurate current flow measurement. The fuseholder is compatible with all known common voltage sources and is capable of handling a range of watts, amps, volts, ohms, and other measurements.

The 3101.0036 fuseholder is widely used for heavier current demands, such as switching power supplies, overload protection, precision current sensing, and the protection of other electronic components. When using this fuseholder, it is important to select the correct type based on your application. There are three basic types of fuseholders: pin style, socket style, and screw type.

Pin Style Fuseholder

Pin style fuseholders are the most common type of fuseholder and are used to hold a single pin or blade fuse. This type of holder is usually screwed into a chock block or junction box and consists of two pins to hold the fuse in place. It is important to note that these types of fuseholders are not suitable for installation in places where high vibration or shock could cause them to become loose or damaged.

Socket Style Fuseholder

Socket style fuseholders are designed to accept multiple fuse types, such as fast-acting, non-current limiting, and current limiting. These holders provide the convenience of allowing users to easily switch between different fuse types. The socket style fuseholders must be securely mounted to a suitable surface to prevent accidental disengagement. Additionally, these holders are exposed to air and must be securely sealed to protect from dust or debris.

Screw Type Fuseholder

Screw type fuseholders, also known as plier holders, offer several advantages over other types of fuseholders. Due to their design, these holders permit easy removal and installation, as well as the flexibility to securely mount several different fused components. Furthermore, the plier holders can be used in both indoor and outdoor installations. However, the screw type holders are not as secure as the socket or pin type holders.

Working Principle

The 3101.0036 fuseholder works by allowing the current to flow through the two pins. When the fuses are correctly attached to the holder, the appropriate current is supplied to the circuit, which in turn completes the circuit. The holder also contains a switch, which is used to change the current flow or distribution for greater accuracy. Generally, if the current exceeds the set limit, the switch will trip and the circuit will no longer supply power.

The 3101.0036 fuseholder is considered to be a reliable and accurate current sensing device. It is versatile, allowing for the use of both standard and dedicated fused components, and is designed to provide protection against over-voltage, over-current, and short-circuit conditions. Furthermore, the precision fuseholder is simple to install, provides an excellent connection for accurate current flow, and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
