494 Series Fuse, NRA Special Series Integrated Circuit Protector
Description
The 494 Series Fast-Acting SMF is an ultra small (0603
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 Halide-Free 494 Series fuses are available
to order using the “HF” suffix. See Part Numbering section
for additional information.
