501 Series – High Current 1206 Fast-Acting Fuse

Description

The 501 Series is a 100% Lead-free, RoHS compliant and
Halogen-free fuse series designed specifically to provide
over- current protection to circuits that operate under high
working ambient temperature up to 150°C.

The general design ensures excellent temperature stability
and performance reliability.

2

The high I

t values which is typical in the Littelfuse
Ceramic Fuse family, ensure high inrush current withstand
capability.

Note:

1. Rerating depicted in this curve is in addition to the standard rerating of 20% for
continuous operation.

Example:
For continuous operation at 75 degrees celsius, the fuse should be rerated as follows:

I = (0.80)(0.85)I
