Fuseholders

BK/S-8202-12

Fuseholders, such as the BK/S-8202-12 model, are some of the most frequently used devices in numerous applications. They are designed as a protective device to open (interrupt) electrical flow in the event of an overcurrent, preventing damage to electronic components and wiring. That’s why it is necessary to install fuseholders on almost any electrical circuit, no matter if it is a large commercial/industrial network or a small home appliance.

The BK/S-8202-12 is a surface mount device specifically designed for applications that require current protection in a space-constrained environment. It is a high-current, high-voltage fuseholder for use with ANL fuse types. It features a snap-fit body for easy installation in most electronic systems. This fuseholder is suitable for use with circuits rated up to 30A/250V AC, with an operating temperature range of 5°C to 125°C.

The BK/S-8202-12 is based on principle of the thermomagnetic cut-off, one of the most reliable methods for cutting off excess current. Its working principle is as follows. This fuseholder contains a pair of specially designed contacts that are connected to a nichrome element. As the current passing through the contacts increases, the element heats up, increasing its electrical resistance. This causes a voltage drop in the contacts. When the voltage drop reaches a predetermined level, it triggers the thermal relay, opening the fuseholder\'s contacts and disconnecting the circuit.

The BK/S-8202-12 is an ideal solution for applications where space is limited and protected circuit current is needed at a high and constant rate, such as in power supplies, lighting systems and telecoms equipment. Its advantages are many, such as its high current and voltage ratings, low contact resistance, easy installation and reliability. It is also a cost effective alternative to larger, heavier and more expensive fuseholders.

In conclusion, the BK/S-8202-12 fuseholder is a great option for applications that require reliable current protection in a small form factor. It is suitable for use with circuits rated up to 30A/250V AC and has a temperature range of 5°C to 125°C, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. Its high current, high voltage ratings, low contact resistance, easy installation and cost-effectiveness makes this a great option for applications that need space and reliable current protection.
