ESD2

Electrical, Specialty Fuses

Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) is a term used to describe a type of electrical shock caused by static electricity. An ESD2 fuse is an electrical protection device that can be used to protect circuits from the adverse effects of static electricity. It is designed to protect electrical and electronic equipment from damage caused by ESD, in particular those caused by surges, transients, and ultra-fast transient impulse.

ESD2 fuses are designed to protect against both transient and continuous over-voltage conditions. They are also designed to limit the amount of current flow during a short circuit condition. A typical ESD fuse will have a current rating of either 500mA, 1000mA or 2500mA. It will also have a voltage rating of either 5V, 10V, 20V or 30V. The voltage and current ratings will vary depending upon the application and manufacturer.

The working principle of an ESD2 fuse is quite simple. It works by sensing a potential electrical surge and then limiting the amount of current that can pass through the circuits it is protecting. Once the current is limited, the fuse will activate and protect the circuit against further damage. The ESD fuse will then trip, disconnecting the power supply and protecting the circuit from further electrical over-voltage.

ESD2 fuses are used in many applications, including consumer electronics, industrial electronic systems, computer hardware, and numerous other applications. They are used to protect circuits from shocks or overvoltage, to reduce wiring costs, increase reliability, and protect sensitive components.

In summary, an ESD2 fuse is an electrical protection device designed to protect against ESD, surging, transients, and ultra-fast transient impulse. Its working principle is to sense an overvoltage condition and limit the amount of current that can pass through. This protects the circuits from further damage. ESD2 fuses are commonly used in consumer electronics, industrial electronic systems, computer hardware, and numerous other applications.
