NOTE: SFT 12.5A is UL recognized on AC Only. 1. Interrupting ratings were measured at 100% power factor on AC, and a time constant less than 1ms on DC. 2. Voltage drop was measured at 25°C ± 3°C ambient temperature at rated current with device mounted on a circuit trace. 3. I2t measured at 50 amp, 125 VAC, .95PF, random closing angle; 300 amps, 125 VDC, TC<1ms. 4. Electrical characteristics for 12.5 amp to be determined. 5. Device designed to carry 125% of rated current for one hour minimum. An operating current of 80% or less of rated current is recommended, with further derating required at elevated ambient temperatures. CE logo denotes compliance with European Union Low Voltage Directive (50-1000 VAC, 75-1500 VDC).

Standard 94. Material has an oxygen index of 53% per ASTM D2863-77. Lead Material: Base–Copper. Barrier–Nickel (50-100 micro inches). Finish–Electroplated Tin (400-500 micro inches with a 2-10% lead content). 2.0 Markings Body shall be permanently and legibly marked with BUSS®, catalog symbol, ampere rating, voltage rating and date code. Markings will not become illegible or discolored when the parts are subjected to solvents normally used to remove solder/flux, fingerprints, and other contaminants from printed circuit boards, as tested per MIL-STD-202, Method 215F. 3.0 Trace Geometry Considerations Trace geometry can affect fuse performance and should be considered when applying any subminiature fuse. Figures 1 and 2 detail the trace geometry used in generating this specification. Suitable trace geometry for a particular application depends on fuse rating, current flow, and ambient temperature. Final determination of suitability for a specific application should be based on empirical testing with all parameters involved. Printed circuit board is .096 inches thick, epoxy glass with 1 ounce copper foil, coated with 300 micro inches of 60/40 tin lead solder.
