Surface Mount Fuses Ceramic Fuse > 501 Series 501 Series – High Current 1206 Fast-Acting Fuse RoHS Pb Description The 501 Series is a 100% Lead-free, RoHS compliant and Halogen-free fuse series designed specifically to provide over- current protection to circuits that operate under high working ambient temperature up to 150°C. The general design ensures excellent temperature stability and performance reliability. The high I2t values which is typical in the Littelfuse Ceramic Fuse family, ensure high inrush current withstand capability. Features • Operating Temperature from -55ºC to +150ºC • Designed to provide over-current protection in high current voltage regulator module (VRM) applications Agency Approvals AGENCY AGENCY FILE NUMBER AMPERE RANGE E10480 10A - 20A 29862 10A - 20A Electrical Characteristics for Series Ampere Rating 100% 10A – 20A 4 Hours, Minimum 350% 10A – 20A 5 Seconds, Maximum Opening Time at 25ºC • Suitable for both leaded and lead-free reflow / wave soldering Applications • Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) Equipment % of Ampere Rating • 100% Lead-free, RoHS compliant and Halogenfree • Notebook PC • DC-DC Converter Additional Information Datasheet Resources Samples Electrical Specifications by Item Ampere Rating (A) Amp Code Max.
