　　Fuse selection is a step that circuit design engineers must be cautious about. If the protective components of the circuit are not selected properly, the entire process of powering on the circuit will be affected, and the normal use of the product will also be affected. So today, let's learn about the ten key points of fuse selection:

　　Key points for fuse selection: rated current;

　　Key points for fuse selection 2: rated voltage;

　　Key points for fuse selection: environmental temperature;

　　Key points for fuse selection: voltage drop/cold resistance;

　　Key points for fuse selection: fusing characteristics: overload capacity, time/current characteristics;

　　Key point six for fuse selection: breaking capacity;

　　Key point seven for fuse selection: melting heat value;

　　Key points for fuse selection: durability (service life);

　　Key points for fuse selection nine: structural features: appearance/size, installation form;

　　Key points for fuse selection: safety certification.

　　　　A fuse refers to a self destructing fuse that experiences significant surges or other current exceeding limits in a circuit; In order to protect the components of other parts of the circuit where the fuse is located and the equipment is normal, the cost of replacing the fuse can be ignored compared to replacing the entire circuit that may be damaged. Due to the fact that fuses are a common element that needs to be replaced, we will introduce two basic concepts and provide a more in-depth introduction to fusion applications and testing and diagnostic methods. Please refer to the relevant articles on the website.　　Common Sense 1: Determine if the fuse is burning (fuse)?　　If the fuse can be removed from the circuit, it can be a visual Shenzhen fuse to determine whether it has burned out; The simplest method to determine whether a fuse is a continuity test is to blow other materials. Quickly test with a multimeter to determine if it is working properly, by hearing a beep and touching t

Encapsulation Forms of Current Fuses

　　　　The encapsulation of current fuses is an important aspect that affects their performance, durability, and safety.　　Glass Encapsulation: Glass encapsulated fuses are a traditional form. The fuse element is enclosed in a glass tube. The glass provides excellent insulation properties and allows for visual inspection of the fuse element. This is beneficial as it enables users to quickly determine if the fuse has blown, as a blown fuse will show a visible break in the element. Glass encapsulated fuses are commonly used in low power applications such as in consumer electronics. However, they may be more fragile than other encapsulation forms and are not suitable for applications where mechanical shock or vibration is a concern.　　Ceramic Encapsulation: Ceramic encapsulated fuses offer enhanced mechanical strength and better heat resistance compared to glass encapsulated fuses. The ceramic material provides a robust enclosure that can withstand harsh environments and higher temperatures. T

surface mount fuse block.What are the common parameter terms for single use SMD fuses?

　　　　Voltage rating: The voltage rating of a fuse must be equal to or greater than the effective circuit voltage. The standard voltage rating series for general patch fuses are 24V, 32V, 48V, 63V, and 125V.　　Resistance: The resistance of a fuse is not very important in the entire circuit. But for fuses with an amperage less than 1, the resistance will be a few tenths of an ohm, so this issue should be considered when using fuses in low-voltage circuits. Most fuses are made of positive temperature coefficient materials, so there are also two types of resistors: cold resistance and thermal resistance.　　Environmental temperature: Fuses are temperature sensitive components. The current carrying capacity of the fuse was tested at an ambient temperature of 25 ℃. The higher the ambient temperature, the higher the operating temperature of the fuse, the lower the current carrying capacity of the fuse, and the shorter its lifespan. On the contrary, at relatively low temperatures, the lifespan of

air conditioner fuse block pull-out.What is the breaking capacity of a fuse

　　　　As a safety component, in addition to its performance requirements, a fuse must also have strict safety requirements. The breaking capacity of a fuse is an important indicator reflecting the safety performance of the fuse. Its specific meaning is: the maximum short-circuit current that the fuse can withstand without any unsafe phenomena during the process of breaking the circuit. The unsafe phenomena here include - continuous arcing, smoking, spraying, splashing Burning, explosion, etc. Tubular fuses can be classified into high breaking (1500A), low breaking (35A or 10In), and enhanced breaking (150A) types based on their breaking capacity. The breaking capacity of chip fuses is generally between 30-60A, which is often overlooked or misunderstood by users or confused with the fusing characteristics of fuses, The correct understanding of the breaking capacity of a fuse should be that the extreme maximum current in the event of a short circuit in the protected circuit cannot exceed t

Will plug-in fuses be phased out?resettable ptc fuse

　　　　In fact, this is not the case. Although patch fuses have a wider range of applications than plug-in fuses, there is also a high demand for plug-in fuses in the market. Both types of fuses, patch and plug-in, have their own advantages. For different products, selecting the right one can maximize the effectiveness of the fuse. Currently, plug-in fuses will not be eliminated.　　Taking self recovery fuses as an example, the volume of patch based self recovery fuses is different from that of plug-in based self recovery fuses. Plug-in type fuses have a relatively larger volume and are generally used in circuits with low working voltage and high working current, such as power converters, motorcycles, automobiles, computer power supplies, micro motors, computer interfaces, CPUs, and other fields. And patch type fuses are mostly used in many electronic products and in many circuit boards such as mechanical equipment.　　With the development and progress of technology, fuses are not only limite
