87 When choosing a fuse based on fusing speed requirements, it is recommended to look for a supplier that has multiple fuse type options. For instance, Bourns offers fast-acting, slow blow and high inrush withstand fuse types. Some helpful reminders are that fast-acting fuses react quickly to an overcurrent condition compared to a slow blow fuse that will endure short-duration spikes such as those that tend to occur during the initial power up of electronics. Slow blow fuses are designed to trip only when the spike is presented long enough to be a continual overload or short circuit. Specifying a slow blow fuse in place of a fast-acting fuse needs to be carefully evaluated since it may not open quickly enough to protect sensitive electronics from an overcurrent event. Applications for Automotive Grade SMD Fuses With their advanced features, various voltage, current ratings and fusing speeds, rugged construction and wide temperature range operation, Bourns’ automotive grade SMD fuses are capable of meeting specific protection requirements. In an on-board charger (OBC) application, an SMD fuse can be used as primary overcurrent protection between the power grid and the DC-DC converter. Or, for USB I/O port protection, fuses with optimized voltage and current ratings are ideal for systems that utilize DC/ Automotive-grade SinglFuse Product Training https://t1p.de/rx89x Automotive-grade SinglFuse Product https://t1p.de/vd0ie Automotive-grade Multifuse Product https://t1p.de/40ye Share Bourns continues to expand its portfolio of AEC-Q200 compliant SinglFuse™ products. The extensive line is fully compliant with Bourns’ internal AEC-Q200 equivalent test procedures to ensure rugged, high quality and reliable performance in a variety of high stress applications. DC converters, such as 48 V - 12 V. In a BMS design, SMD fuses can be utilized as both primary overcurrent protection on the BMS controller board and for battery cell overcurrent protection. The protection and space-saving advantages of automotive grade SMD fuses can go beyond vehicle applications. Bourns’ high-reliability overcurrent protection solutions are also ideal for telecom and networking infrastructure equipment, cloud computing and storage systems, high-end consumer electronics and smart appliances, and industrial IoT and robotics. Also ideal for rugged application needs is Bourns’ line of High Temperature Surface Mount Polymer Positive Temperature Coefficient (PPTC) resettable fuses. Its expanding PPTC roadmap includes a broader standard high temperature offering that meets increasing working temperature and power rating requirements with products that feature greater resettable fuse performance in a smaller footprint. In Battery Management Systems (BMS) designs, Bourns SMD fuses can be used as both primary overcurrent protection on the BMS controller board and for battery cell overcurrent protection.
