SCHURTER announces VDE and UL Approvals for its SMD Fuse with 1500 A Breaking Capacity

SCHURTER''s Universal Modular fuse, UMT-H, offers a 1500 A breaking capacity at rated voltages of 277 VAC / 250 VDC. The compact, high performance fuse now has VDE approval in addition to UL approval. This time-lag fuse provides overcurrent and short circuit protection in various industrial control applications, including intrinsically safe applications.

The "intrinsic safety" method is one of the most common techniques used for achieving safety protection with lower voltage or power equipment. This method restricts the available electrical and thermal energy in a system so that ignition of a hazardous atmosphere (such as explosive gas, dust, or electrical arcing) cannot occur. The UMT-H''s high breaking capacity of 1500 A, plus the >10 mm spacing between end caps, combined with the ability to be impermeable to conformal coating makes the fuse suitable for use in such intrinsically safe applications.

The UMT-H fuse is available in a total of 19 rated currents between 160 mA and 10 A at voltages up to 277 VAC and 250 VDC. The UMT-H measures at 5.3 x 16 mm, which is a smaller alternative to the classic cylindrically-shaped cartridge fuses (e.g. 5 x 20 mm). The smaller footprint saves valuable board space, allowing for further downsizing of equipment. With its square design, the UMT-H is also suited for more cost-effective, automated assembly. The high breaking capacity fuse meets the IEC 60127-7/1, UL 248-14 and CSA C22.2 standards along with its VDE and UL approvals. Additional applications include power supplies, electromobility, medical and telecommunication applications as well as 277 VAC utility-connected Equipment.

Thermal fuse with low tripping temperature

SCHURTERS RTS thermal fuse, successfully launched in 2018, gets a new variant with a tripping temperature of >175°C. The RTS is a particularly compact overtemperature protection device for power semiconductors in SMD technology for highest demands.

RTS stands for Reflowable Thermal Switch. It was developed to protect highly integrated power semiconductors from overheating. Prior to mechanical activation, the new thermal fuse can be soldered on conventional reflow soldering machines with profiles up to 260 °C. Protection against thermal runaway Thermal runaway refers to the overheating of a power semiconductor due ...

SCHURTER and Volex – a safe match

The British power cord and cable assembly solutions specialist Volex plc and the SCHURTER Group can look back on a long-standing, extremely successful partnership. This has now been taken to a new level in a "License and Distribution Contract".

“What began over a decade ago as a distribution contract has developed into a very successful partnership for both companies. The central element of this partnership is the V-Lock cord retention system developed by Volex, which perfectly matches the SCHURTER mission of safe&easy,” summarises Donat Wullschleger, Head of Product Management at SCHURTER. SCHURTER is conti...
