J60100-3COR

Fuseholders

Fuseholders provide a mechanism for safely connecting fuses into a circuit. Although the most common form is a component that connects directly to a fuse and is designed to hold the fuse, the term may also refer to a circuit protection device that may not contain the fuse but is designed to mount a fuse or protect the component from the harmful effects of an overcurrent or short circuit. The J60100-3COR is an example of a fuseholder that provides excellent protection for overcurrent conditions.

J60100-3COR Fuseholder

The J60100-3COR Fuseholder is a snap-in type of fuseholder intended for use with UL rated 600VAC/DC miniature fuses. This particular fuseholder has a UL94V-0 terminal insulation material and accepts both Type J and Type L fuses. The J60100-3COR has a screw terminal block opening and accommodates wire sizes from 26 to 8 AWG.

Applications

The J60100-3COR Fuseholder can be used in a variety of applications in industrial, vehicle, building automation, and other electrical installations. It is well-suited for environments where there is a high rate of current change and where fast and reliable heat dissipation is required. Examples of possible applications include automotive, lighting systems, industrial control equipment, motor drives, and power supplies.

Working Principle

The J60100-3COR Fuseholder works on the principle of magnetic field current interruption. The rate of current interruption is established by the type and rating of the fuse that is installed in the fuseholder. When current passes through the fuse, it creates a magnetic field that is proportional to the current flow. When the current flowing through the fuse exceeds the fuse\'s acceptable rating, the magnetic field increases, which causes the conducting arc of the fuse to be extinguished and the current to be interrupted. This interruption of the current prevents any further damage to the circuit or surrounding components.

Benefits

The J60100-3COR Fuseholder provides excellent protection for overcurrent conditions. Its snap-in design allows for ease of installation and its robust construction ensures a long life. The fuse holder is UL rated for safety and is also RoHS compliant. Additionally, its shock and vibration resistance makes it suitable for use in industrial environments. This is especially important as faulty fuses can lead to life-threatening or destructive hazards.

Conclusion

The J60100-3COR Fuseholder is an excellent choice for applications requiring reliable overcurrent protection. Its snap-in design for ease of installation, robust construction, and reliable operation make it an ideal solution for automotive, lighting, and industrial control systems. Additionally, its UL 94V-0 terminal insulation material, as well as its shock and vibration resistance, make it well-suited for harsh environments. In summary, the J60100-3COR Fuseholder is a highly reliable and durable solution for protecting circuits from overcurrent conditions.
