3404.0006.11

Fuses are an essential component of the electrical safety system in electronic design. The 3404.0006.11 from Bussmann, a Cooper Industries brand, is one of a range of fuses that come in an axial-leaded (radial leaded) package, making it ideal for prototyping and the manufacture of PCBs. There is a wide variety of fuse products available, from one-time use consumer electronics to cutting-edge industrial applications.

The 3404.0006.11 is an axial-leaded radial fuse with a current rating of 2A and a voltage rating of 125V. This fuse is designed to protect small heaters, halogen lighting circuits, and other low-voltage or low-power circuits from thermal and electrical overloading. It has a fast acting design that ensures that the fuse will open quickly in response to a sudden current surge. It also has a reliable and long-term performance over a wide temperature range.

The 3404.0006.11 is widely used in a variety of applications. It is suitable for use in industrial and consumer electronics systems, such as in air conditioning systems and power supplies. It can be used in car audio, security camera circuits, and game consoles. It is also commonly used in medical equipment, where fast and reliable protection from electrical surges is critical.

The 3404.0006.11 fuse uses a ferrule-type construction to ensure a safe, reliable, and long-lasting connection between the components and the fuse. It is hermetically sealed, with a silver coating that gives it excellent insulation and corrosion resistance. The fuse has a voltage drop of only 0.35V, which allows it to protect sensitive components connected to the circuit.

The working principle of the 3404.0006.11 is based on the Joule effect. When the current through the fuse reaches its rated value, the internal resistance of the fuse causes the temperature of the element to rise until it reaches a point at which the insulation of the element melts and the electric current breaks off at this point. This prevents further damage to the circuit due to the sustained current.

The 3404.0006.11 fuse features several safety protocols to ensure that it performs reliably and meets the required safety standards. It is UL and cUL listed, RoHS compliant, and meets the IEC60269-3 standard. The fuse also includes a pressure relief element that will allow it to open in the event of a prolonged overload, protecting the circuit against further damage.

The 3404.0006.11 from Bussmann is an excellent choice for protecting small heaters, halogen lighting, and low power electronics from thermal and electrical overloading. Its reliable performance, fast acting design, and safety protocols make it ideal for a wide variety of applications.
