3410.0027.03 Application Field and Working Principle

Fuses are designed to protect appliances and wiring from overcurrent or short-circuit conditions. The type 3410.0027.03 is specifically designed for low-voltage, low power applications, such as communication networks and PC motherboard power supply applications. This fuse is small in size, about 6 mm in diameter and 27 mm long, allowing for it to be easily and neatly implemented in nearly any circuit board.

Working Principle

The 3410.0027.03 operates on a thermal principle, meaning that it relies on the heat generated by current flow to cause the fuse element to open the circuit. The fuse\'s primary structure consists of a short piece of resistance wire, which is housed in a ceramic or metal tube with two metal end caps. The fuse will remain closed until the current reaches a predetermined level, at which point the heat generated by the current will cause the fuse element to open, thus breaking the circuit and protecting the appliance.

This thermal fuse system works according to the melting of the sensitive fiber. When the current flows through the fuse, the electrical energy will be converted to heat energy, which will be absorbed by the fuse wire. If the energizing current reaches a certain level or is present over a sustained period of time, then the heat generated will cause the fuse element to melt, resulting in a break in the circuit.

Application Field

The 3410.0027.03 fuse is a small size type, designed for low-voltage, low-power applications. It is particularly suitable for use in communication networks, control system networks, personal computers, and power boards. The fuse can also be used to protect sensitive electronic circuits from electrical overloads or short circuits. This fuse has an excellent temperature-tracking response characteristic due to its construction.

The 3410.0027.03 is a cost-effective solution for protecting appliances and electronics from sudden overcurrent and other fault conditions. The small size makes it particularly suitable for use in shallow circuit boards where space is at a premium. It also has a low failure rate and a long life span.
