125Vac-rated High Inrush Type Chip Fuses

NIC Components Corp. announced the addition of NFVC_S series of surface-mount chip fuses, to its expanded offering of circuit protection products. NFVC series utilizes wire in air fuse construction, for superior inrush current characteristics (I2T) as compared to thick- and thin-film type SMT chip fuses. Supplied in 6125 (2410) case size, the NFVC_S series features wide operating range (-55 to +125 degrees C) with current ratings from 1A to 5A (derated over temperature) and interrupt voltage ratings of 125-Vac (125- and 160-Vdc).

The NFVC series is RoHS and PB-Free soldering compliant, supplied packaged on carrier tape for automated pick and placement PCB assemblies, followed by reflow or wave (flow) soldering process. Typical unit pricing, from $0.05 to $0.09 USD each, when purchased in production volumes.

NFVC_S series is UL safety agency (USA & Canada) listed under supplemental fuses. NFVC_S features include: Wire In Air Construction; High Inrush Current (I2T); 125Vac rating; UL Safety Listed; Small 6125 (2410) case size; 1.0A to 5A ratings; and Wide Temp Range of -40 to +125 degrees C.
