Shenzhen self recovery fuses are widely used for overcurrent protection of power lines, communication lines, and I/O ports in electronic products such as communication, security, industrial, automotive, and consumer products. So, in actual circuit protection, how should we choose the appropriate model of self recovery fuse to achieve the best protection effect? Regarding the selection of self recovery fuses, Baodian Tong will explain to you: Step 1: Determine the standard working current, maximum working voltage, maximum fault current, maximum working environment temperature, action time and other parameters for the normal operation of the protected circuit; Step 2: Determine whether it is a plug-in PTC or a patch PTC based on the characteristics of the protected circuit or product; Step 3: Select PTC products with a withstand voltage level greater than or equal to the maximum working voltage based on the maximum working voltage Step 4: Select the appropriate product specificat
A general fuse consists of three parts: the first is the melt part, which is the core of the fuse and plays a role in cutting off the current when fused. Fuses of the same type and specification in Shenzhen should have the same material, geometric size, and resistance value as small and consistent as possible. It is important to have consistent fusing characteristics; The second is the electrode part, which usually has two important components that connect the melt to the circuit. It must have good conductivity and should not generate obvious installation contact resistance; The third part is the support part, where the melt of the fuse is generally thin and soft. The function of the support is to fix the melt and make the three parts a rigid whole for easy installation and use. It must have good mechanical strength, insulation, heat resistance, and flame retardancy, and should not produce phenomena such as breakage, deformation, combustion, and short circuit during use; The fuses
The operating principle of a fuse is that an overcurrent causes the thermal balance on the melt to be disrupted. When the temperature of the melt rises to the melting point of the metal material, the middle part of the melt changes from solid to liquid. Due to the surface tension and gravity of the metal material suspended in the tube, the liquid part of the melt pulls away from both ends and sags downwards. The voltage caused arcing causes the melt temperature to continue to rise, further arcing and further distance pulling apart, Until the circuit is completely cut off. For SMD fuses, their operating principle is the same. However, due to different structural states, the surrounding of the metal melt is tightly surrounded by the polymer or ceramic materials of its substrate. Even the melted metal cannot contract towards both ends and can only rely on diffusion, infiltration, or absorption towards the surrounding materials. If the overcurrent disappears during this process (such a
Firstly, normal current: Firstly, we must know the fuse that flows through the circuit chip used in normal current. Usually, we need to reduce the difference between the predetermined amount and then follow the selection principle: the normal current must be less than the rated current and the product's derating factor. Secondly, the fusing current: According to UL standards, Shenzhen patch fuses (fuses) should be able to quickly operate at twice the rated current. But in most cases, to ensure reliable fuses, we recommend that the fusing current be greater than 2.5 times the rated current. In addition, the fusing time is very important, and a judgment must also be made based on the manufacturer's fusing characteristics. Thirdly, short-circuit current: the maximum current value, when we call it the short-circuit current of a short circuit. The rated breaking capacity of various fuses is necessary, and we must be careful not to choose fuses with circuit currents exceeding the rated
I still remember when I was studying electronics and electrical appliances, and every semester when I came home from vacation, I was called by my neighbors to repair the TV. At that time, I used black and white TV sets, and the voltage was also unstable. The most damaged TV set was the fuse. At that time, Shenzhen fuses were ordinary glass tube fuses, and it was not very convenient to buy a fuse in rural areas. Sometimes, iron sheets or wires were used to directly connect the circuit as a fuse (I believe many people have done this before), which could still be used normally. However, this use was very unsafe, and sometimes it could damage other parts of the TV. Since then, I have been deeply impressed by this type of transparent glass tube fuse. Fuses, also known as fuses, are defined as "fuse links" in international standards. They are electrical components installed in a circuit to ensure safe operation of the circuit. Electronic products are all-encompassing, and these produc
We know that in recent years, especially since 2016, domestic factories have increased their machinery and equipment on a large scale, especially the increase in square and SMD fuse automata, which has led to a continuous decline in these products in China. Especially, the price of square fuses has become transparent to the point where customers do not want to negotiate. There are actually several reasons for this situation: 1: It is the continuous decline of the Chinese yuan, the constant hovering of the US dollar exchange rate, and the depreciation of the Chinese yuan 2: There are too many homogeneous products, and in order to win more orders, we can only continuously compress profit margins, which is a common problem in the domestic manufacturing industry 3: After the tax increase in the United States, many orders have been sharply reduced, especially the significant impact of large customer revenue, further forcing fuse factories to compress profit margins and dilute operati
