Description
The 468 Series Time-Lag (Slo-Blo®) SMF is a small (1206 
size) thin-film device designed for secondary protection 
of circuits used in space constrained applications such as 
hand-held portable electronic devices. 
This series is 100% lead-free and meets the requirements 
of the RoHS directive. New Halogen-Free 468 Series 
fuses are available–to order use the “HF” suffix. See Part 
Numbering section for additional information.

Note:
1. Derating depicted in this curve is in addition to the standard derating of 25% for 
continuous operation.
Example: 
 For continuous operation at 70 degrees celsius, the fuse should be deratedas follows:
 I = (0.75)(0.80)I
2. The temperature derating curve represents the nominal conditions. For questions 
about temperature derating curve, please consult Littelfuse technical support 
for assistance.
