The MGA-S type fuse meets the high standards of the aerospace industry which requires hermetically encapsulated and rugged designs. MGA-S is manufactured using thin film technology. Rated for nomi-nal currents from 140 mA to 3.5 A, it also features consistent minimal and maximal melting times under excess current condi-tions, irrespective of the operation mode, e.g. in a vacuum environment. Its small dimensions of 3.2 x 1.55 mm make it unique among fuses in this market seg-ment.
MGA-S is especially suited to the protec-tion of “payloads” often connected to DC power supplies such as those used in sat-ellites, ensuring that in the event of a mal-function, such a payload is securely dis-connected and will not cause any other systems to fail.
