The fuses come in a variety of formats and mounting options and are suitable for operating temperatures between -40℃ to 100℃ with some products featuring a range of up to 125℃. Depending on the deployment use, the fuses also feature a wide range of current ratings, some as low as 5 A and others as high as 800 A.

Designed for use in battery modules, packs, junction boxes, chargers, stations, and auxiliary circuits, the fuses are being released to support the maturing electric vehicle (EV) market, especially across Europe. According to the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA), EV and hybrid sales are rebounding in 2024 with significant increases in key markets such as Belgium and Germany.

Bel Fuse continues to expand its offerings for both overload and short circuit protection to meet the growing global demand for electric and hybrid vehicle adoption.
