7BCLS-44R

Fuses are an integral part of electronics and other applications. These devices protect circuits and equipment from potentially dangerous surges in electricity. There are, however, different types of fuses and some require more than one type to protect from multiple causes of potential harm. The 7BCLS-44R is an example of a type of fuse that is part of an universal application field and works on a specific life-time principle.

What is the 7BCLS-44R

The 7BCLS-44R is a UL Recognized Fuse Type. It is a micro-fuse and it can be integrated or mounted directly into many different types of circuits depending on the design. This type of fuse is usually used in electronic devices that require a protection against high currents. This includes computers, phones, and other electronic devices.

Application Field

The 7BCLS-44R can be used in numerous application fields. As stated before, it’s primarily used in computer and phone applications. The product also does well in protection against high-voltage machines. It is used in many different medical equipment like MRI/CT scanners and X-ray machines. It is even well-suited for industrial purposes like PLCs or PCBs.

Working Principle

The 7BCLS-44R operates on a life-time principle. This can be defined as the amount of time a fuse can be used to protect an electrical device before being replaced. In other words, it measures the time it takes for a fuse to fail when exposed to an overcurrent. This is usually related to the thermal cut-off principle which is used to indicate when a certain temperature has been reached and to shut off electricity before any damage to the device can be done.

This time is dependent on the intensity of the current which the device is exposed to. The fuse will cut-off the current in a fraction of a second when a certain level is reached. The 7BCLS-44R fuse is also capable of withstanding short duration overloads with a certain number of amps. After that, the current will be cut-off to a safe level.

Conclusion

The 7BCLS-44R fuse is a UL Recognized Fuse Type that is effective in protecting against high currents in multiple application fields. It works on a life-time principle which can be measured by its thermal cut-off point. This fuse is used to protect electronic devices and machines in medical, industrial, and commercial applications.
