Square SMD Devices Feature a Current Rating Ranging from 20A to 30A
JERSEY CITY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Released today by Bel
Fuse (NASDAQ: BELFA) (NASDAQ: BELFB), a premier developer of fuses
and magnetic-based solutions for high-speed networking and computer
applications, is the square ceramic surface-mountable SMM
Series of 3812 size medium-blow fuses. SMD fuses with rated current
values up to 30A and with voltage ratings up to 250VAC and 65VDC, they
satisfy the industry's requirements for devices supporting high power
consumption with limited board space. RoHs-compliant, Pb-free and
halogen free, Bel's environmentally friendly parts additionally feature
superior mechanical integrity, and resistance to chemical solvents and
aqueous cleaning.
The new SMM fuses are ideal for overcurrent protection in a broad
spectrum of high-current applications in which a small form factor
device is specified to optimize board space. Included among their most
common usage is in the protection of high-current circuits (primary or
secondary) of larger power supplies, as well as in the protection of
(telecom) backplane structures from overloads or short circuits, which
could disrupt an entire system. Notably, the SMM fuse can isolate a
specific section or circuit, allowing the remaining circuits to function
normally.
Offered with 20A, 25A, and 30A ratings, Bel's SMM Series features an
operating temperature range of -55 degrees C to +85 degrees C with
proper derating. At 100% of ampere rating, opening time is 4 hours
minimum; 60 seconds maximum at 200% of ampere rating. Fuses are
manufactured of ceramic bodies with matte tin plated brass caps. Parts
are provided on 13" reels, 2,000 per reel. For additional information,

In production quantities, per-piece pricing for the square ceramic
surface-mountable SMM Series of 3812 size medium-blow fuses ranges from
$0.25 to $0.40 each. Samples are available from stock. Average lead time
is 6-8 weeks ARO. To locate a representative or distributor, visit http://belfuse.com/FindARep.asp.
