Fuses and Resettable PTCs

Littelfuse is the world leader in the design and manufacturing of fuses for the Automotive, Industrial, Handheld, Computer and Telecom markets. Whether you are looking for surface mount or axial; glass or ceramic; thin-film or Nano2® style; fasting-acting or Slo-Blo® fuses; Littelfuse has the part to meet your need. Operating characteristics include current ranges from .010A - 35A, maximum voltage ranges from 24V - 600V, and interrupting ratings from 35A - 200,000A. Look to Littelfuse as your lead-free fuse source. Our new line of lead-free thin-film fuses, are perfect for your environmentally friendly design. Contact Littelfuse for future availability of other lead-free fuse products.

Littelfuse offers a full range of surface mount and radial leaded PTC resettable devices. Designed for "plug and play" applications, the 1206L and 1812L series surface mount PTCs provide protection for electronic circuits from overcurrent conditions in a wide range of "plug and play" applications. Littelfuse surface mount PTCs comply with electronic industry standards for lead reduction. The 30R and 60R series radial PTCs are rated at 30VDC and 60VDC respectively, and are designed for use in higher voltage applications that require minimal maintenance and are subject to repetitive overcurrent conditions. Applications include industrial controls and home security systems. All Littelfuse PTC device series are recognized under the Components Program of Underwriters Laboratory, the Component Acceptance Program of CSA, and TUV.

What is the Purpose of a Fuse?

Fuses protect electrical and electronic circuitry from overheating when exposed to short circuits and other overcurrent conditions. The heart of a typical fuse is a length of wire, which is heated to its melting point by the excessive current. The circuit current flow decreases to zero as the wire melts open. Littelfuse has fuses for a large variety of applications, including telecommunications, automotive, industrial, high reliability military, consumer electronics, and many others. Our circuit protection products meet or exceed all government and industry standards, so you benefit from our compromising approach to quality and reliability.

Our application search tool makes it easy to find the right fuses for your specific application requirements. Littelfuse also offers a comprehensive knowledgebase to help designers understand and implement Littelfuse fuses and resettable PTCs. In our knowledgebase, you'll find product literature, technical articles, software downloads, part number cross reference, and much more.
