Littelfuse Introduces 215 Series 15A-25A, 5x20 mm Cartridge Fuses

Des Plaines, IL - Littelfuse, Inc. recently announced its new 215 Series of 5x20mm ceramic body, time-lag cartridge fuses for high interrupting capacity in a limited space. The new fuses come in 15A, 16A, 20A, and 25A ratings for up to 250VAC service, making Littelfuse the leading supplier of compact, high-current rated cartridge fuses.

The 215 Series time-lag fuses will be of particular interest to designers of power supplies, white goods, air conditioner compressors, and other high-ampere equipment that needs protection under high fault-current conditions. Under fault conditions, the new fuses can interrupt currents as high as 500A at 250VAC, providing a remarkable margin of safety for electronic circuits.

They are used in AC applications, and their small size allows engineers greater flexibility in circuit design. Designers can replace their 6x32mm cartridge fuses with the new smaller footprint 5x20mm size.

All the fuses in this Series are RoHS-compliant/lead-free, and are recognized under UL and CSA component programs. Their opening times are tested in accordance with IEC 60127-2, Standard Sheet 5.

More Information on the 215 Series (Higher Ampere Rating) fuses is available from Daniel Wang, Product Manager, dwang@littelfuse.com, or by visiting www.littelfuse.com.
