TE Circuit Protection announces the 2410SFV family of 20 AC/DC fuses featuring current ratings from 0.5A to 20.0A. The 2410 fuses help provide secondary-side circuit protection, conserve board space and reduce design costs in a broad array of high-voltage, high-current designs. Typical applications include home appliances (LCD TV LED backlighting, LCD TV CCFL backlighting) and LED lighting, as well as office automation, industrial and medical equipment.

Available in a thin 6.1mm x 2.5mm SMD package, 2410SFV fuses offer I²t characteristics as high as any similar SMD device on the market. They also offer a nominal cold resistance (DCR) from 0.0034Ω to 0.231Ω and a interrupt current from 50A to 300A. Rated for operation at temperatures ranging from -55°C up to 125°C, the fuses’ high-inrush current withstand capability minimizes nuisance tripping during transient overload conditions.

As wire-in-air (WIA) fuses, the 2410SFV products feature a straight wire configuration. As surface-mount devices they provide a rugged, single-piece package that speeds assembly time and is compatible with standard pick-and-place SMD processes.

 Additionally, the 2410SFV fuses’ structure minimizes the risk of the end cap of the device becoming dislodged, a feature not offered by most competitive devices. In accordance with industry standards and trends for “green” products, the fuses are 100% lead- and halogen-free and are RoHS-compliant and UL listed.
