MATSUO ELECTRIC Type KAB Micro Fuse Datasheet

Category: Circuit Protection Devices, Electronics, Matsuo Electric Co Ltd

Overview

Presented is the datasheet for MATSUO ELECTRIC CO., LTD.’s Type KAB micro fuses, which provide circuit protection against excessive current in a range of portable electronic devices. Developed with original technology, these fuses boast steady fusing characteristics and fast-blow capability, making them suitable for high-capacity battery circuits that require further miniaturization and low-profile components.

Features

The Type KAB micro fuse series has several notable features:

Consistently reliable fusing characteristics and fast-blow capabilities due to innovative technology.
Minimal surface temperature rise (≤75°C) under rated current, reducing impact on nearby components.
Compact dimensions available in two sizes: 1608 (1.6 x 0.8 x 0.45 mm) and 2012 (2.0 x 1.25 x 0.5 mm).
Designed for automated mounting and high-density installation, with self-aligning symmetrical terminal construction.
Resistant to soldering heat involving reflow or flow soldering for 10 seconds at 260°C.
Lead-free construction and compliance with RoHS for eco-friendly design.

Applications

The micro fuses are categorized by market and use, and users are advised to contact MATSUO’s Sales Department for confirmation on product applications, including any usage outside the outlined classifications.

Ratings & Ordering Information

Type KAB micro fuses are rated over a wide temperature range from -40 to +125°C, with rated currents ranging from 0.2A to 6.3A for the 1608 case size, and 0.2A to 5.0A for the 2012 case size. The rated voltage options include 24VDC, 32VDC, and 50VDC, and fuses are designed to clear within minutes if the current reaches 200% of the rated value. The devices also maintain an insulation resistance of 1000MΩ or more.

Fuses can be ordered using a code system that specifies the voltage, current, packaging type, case size, and any special product codes, such as the 010 code indicating lead-free terminals. Available packaging options include a tape reel format for ease of mounting.

Conclusion

Designed for a broad range of applications in portable electronic equipment, Type KAB micro fuses from MATSUO ELECTRIC provide efficient circuit protection with a focus on miniaturization, durability, and eco-friendly considerations.
