DFJ-600 Datasheet/PDFElectrical, Specialty Fuses
The DFJ-600 is a versatile electrical fuse with a variety of applications. Manufactured by the Fuji Electric Corporation, this robust and reliable fuse is designed for circuit protection from overcurrent, short circuits and overvoltage. It can also be used for blowing existing loads, as well as fusing for power supply systems.
This fuse is used commonly in industrial applications, circuit boards, and specialty equipment. It’s also found in the automotive industry, where it is used to protect high-voltage and short-current circuits in cars, SUVs, and light-trucks.
Working Principle
When the electrical current passes through the fuse, the metal included in the fuse melts, and in doing so, interrupts the flow of electricity. In addition, the metal which melts has a high melting point, ensuring that the fuse does not melt at lower currents.
In the event of an excessive current passing through the circuit, a large amount of current is generated, which causes the fuse to break and stop the current. To ensure the fuse does not blow too often, the fuse contains a metal element that has a high melting point. This feature ensures that the fuse only blows when the required amount of current is detected.
As well as being used in protection from overcurrent, short circuits and high currents, the DFJ-600 is also designed to protect against thermal overload. This type of overload is caused by high temperatures, and is common in complex or overloaded circuits. In the case of thermal overload, the fuse melts due to the heat and stops current from passing through the circuit.
In sum, the DFJ-600 is a versatile and reliable electrical fuse, used for a wide variety of applications in both the automotive and industrial industries. Its ability to break circuits in the event of an overcurrent or overload makes it an essential component in electrical systems where reliability and safety are paramount.
