Among various small fuses, SMD chip fuse is a type with high technological content. In recent years, driven by the application of portable products such as mobile phones, digital cameras, and laptops, this type of product has gradually become popular. With the continuous reduction of prices and further improvement of production processes, as well as the expansion of application fields, the cost-effective advantage of SMD chip fuses will be favored by more OEMs. SMD patch fuses are widely used, particularly in portable electronic products, power converters, in car entertainment facilities, communication peripherals, and home audiovisual devices. Among them, portable electronic products cover a wide range, including mobile phones, digital cameras, PDAs, laptops, game consoles, PMPs, MP3s, learning machines, and so on; In terms of power converter applications, lithium battery protection boards and inverter protection for mobile phones and other products are currently the main appli
1. Under normal circumstances, fuses play a connecting role in the circuit. 2. Under abnormal (overload) conditions, the fuse serves as a safety protection component in the circuit, which can safely cut off and protect the circuit through its own fusing. 2、 The working principle of a fuse: When a fuse is energized, the heat converted from electrical energy causes the temperature of the melt to rise. When normal working current or allowable overload current passes through, the heat generated is radiated to the surrounding environment through the melt or shell, and the heat dissipated through convection, conduction, and other means gradually reaches a balance with the heat generated. If the generated heat is greater than the dissipated heat, the excess heat gradually accumulates on the melt, causing the temperature of the melt to rise; When the temperature reaches or exceeds the melting point of the melt, it will cause the melt to melt, fuse, and cut off the current, playing a rol
We know that there are many series of fuses in the electronic component market, including patch fuses. This series of fuses is commonly used in factories, with few being used by individual users. But what should we pay attention to when testing patch fuses? Today, editor Dai Liang, let's take a look together. Firstly, The detection method for patch fuses is recommended to be based on the following aspects: normal current, fusing current, open circuit voltage, short circuit current, impulse current, and ambient temperature. 1. Normal current: Firstly, we must know the normal current flowing through the fuse in the circuit used. Usually, we need to pre-set a derating amount and choose according to the following principle: the normal current must be less than the product of the rated current and the derating coefficient. 2. Fusing current: According to UL specifications, the fuse should quickly fuse at twice the rated current. But in most cases, to ensure reliable fusing, we recomm
Fuses must be easily melted metal wires in order to fuse in a timely manner and provide protection when the current is high, so lead antimony alloy wires are usually used. The fuse material is mainly made of low melting point alloys such as aluminum antimony alloy. The main element of aluminum magnesium alloy aluminum plate is aluminum, and a small amount of magnesium or other metal materials are added to enhance its hardness. Aluminum alloy with Mg as the main additive element is also known as rust resistant aluminum alloy due to its good corrosion resistance. Because it is itself a metal, its thermal conductivity The fuse material is mainly made of low melting point alloys such as aluminum antimony alloy. The main element of aluminum magnesium alloy aluminum plate is aluminum, and a small amount of magnesium or other metal materials are added to enhance its hardness.

1. How much current can a fuse flow through? The rated current is the current value that a fuse can operate for a long time, not the operating current. Due to safety issues related to fuses, they are considered safety devices and must pass relevant certifications before they can be produced and sold. Usually, safety regulations require that the temperature of a fuse should not exceed the allowable value when operating at the rated current. For example, UL specifies that the temperature should not exceed 75 ℃ when operating at 100% of the rated current. The safety regulations also impose strict requirements on the fusing time when the actual current exceeds the rated current. For example, a fuse of a certain specification can operate continuously for at least 60 minutes at 1.5 times the rated current; At 2.1 times the rated current, it can work continuously for up to 2 minutes; At 2.75 times the rated current, it can work for at least 400ms ($1.7100) and at most 10s; There is al
