NIC Components' comprehensive portfolio of passive components now includes safety agency certified surface mount chip fuses. The NFCC, NFHC and NFSC series provide an ultra-miniature solution to circuit protection applications in a wide range of electronics equipment.

The NFCC and NFHC series are fast acting micro fuses that utilize thin-film construction techniques and are available in case sizes from 0402 to 1206. Current ratings range from 0.2A to 5.0A, and parts are available with rated voltages that span 24VDC to 50VDC. NFCC and NFHC surface mount fuses are current derated above 70ºC.

The NFSC series uses thick-film technology and provides high anti-pulse performance. Parts are housed in 0603 size cases and offer current ratings of 0.5A to 5.0A (derated over entire temperature range). Voltage rating is 32VDC.

NFCC, NFHC and NFCC micro fuses have an operating temperature range of -55ºC to +125ºC. They are certified to UL (US & Canada) safety standard approval for supplemental fuses and are fully compatible with Pb-free flow (0603 sizes and larger) and Pb-free reflow soldering processes (all sizes).
