69145-112LF

Shunts and jumpers are simple devices that allow for the connection and disconnection of two current paths in a circuit. The 69145-112LF is an example of a shunt, specifically a high current, low resistance, fuse type shunt. This type of component is used to divert current from one path to another in a circuit, without causing excessive voltage drops. This type of device is extremely useful when a circuit needs to be re-arranged or when the current flowing through it needs to be reduced.

Fuse type shunts have two separate copper conductors that are separated by a high temperature insulator, called an anatase. The anatase is made from a special blend of high purity, high temperature, low resistance copper and is designed to provide low resistance even at high temperatures and low voltages. The copper conductor and the anatase are bonded together and then sealed in a metal casing.

When the device is connected to a power source, electrical current flows between the two conductors, creating a circuit. The circuit is interrupted whenever the current flow passes a certain level, known as the fuse current limit. This limit is determined by the design of the device and is based on the resistivity of the insulator and the size of the copper conductors. When the limit is reached, the fuse opens, causing an electrical short-circuit.

The 69145-112LF is particularly useful in applications that require high power, such as automobiles, motorboats, and airplanes. It is also useful for telecommunication transmitters, high-voltage powerlines, and medical equipment. The device is designed to handle high voltage and low current applications, enabling it to comply with safety standards in many industries.

Shunts and jumpers provide reliable and accurate current readings in a variety of applications. The 69145-112LF is a durable and reliable component that is used in a variety of circuits. It is designed to handle high voltage and low current applications and to provide low voltage drops and accurate current readings. This type of device is highly recommended for use in devices and circuits that require high power and reliable current readings.
