SCHURTER extends current range of its high-performance SMD fuse

By Michelle Froese | October 16, 2015

This time-lag fuse provides overcurrent and short circuit protection for widespread applications in both electronic and industrial equipment

This time-lag fuse provides over-current and short circuit protection for industrial equipment.

SCHURTER expands the rated current range of its UMT-H Universal Modular fuse to 12.5 A and 16 A. With its square, compact design of 5.3 x 16 mm, the UMT-H is the space-saving alternative to classic cylindrically shaped cartridge fuses (e.g.5 x 20 mm). It is well suited for automated assembly.

The smaller footprint saves valuable board space, allowing for further downsizing of equipment. This time-lag fuse provides over-current and short-circuit protection for widespread applications in electronic and industrial equipment and controls.

The UMT-H fuse is now available in 21 rated currents from 160 mA through 16 A at voltages up to 277 VAC and 250 VDC. The 1500 A high-breaking capacity fuse meets the IEC 60127-7/1, UL 248-14, and CSA C22.2 standards, and is unique in its class for having obtained VDE and UL approvals.

Popular applications include power supplies, communication applications as well as 277 VAC lighting applications. Furthermore, the UMT-H’s high breaking capacity of 1500 A, plus the >10 mm spacing between end caps, combined with the ability to be impermeable to conformal coating, makes the fuse suitable for intrinsically safe applications according to 60079-11.

SCHURTER also offers a UMT-H fuse kit that provides a sampling of the fuse family variations for testing design alternatives.
