Littelfuse launches high amperage rating fuse blocks for 5 x 20 mm fuses

Littelfuse has announced the latest release of the 656 and 658 Series Fuse Blocks product line.

These fuse blocks offer a higher amperage rating, giving electronics engineers and designers more options depending on their specific application requirements.

The key differentiator of these high-resistance fuse blocks is their ability to support a higher amperage rating available in PCB-mounted (656) and surface-mounted (658) options. While the current versions are rated up to 16 A, Littelfuse is now offering versions rated at 20 A and 30 A.

This expanded range allows customers to choose the appropriate amperage rating based on the needs of their applications, which include:

  • Consumer electronics,
  • Data centres,
  • Telecom,
  • Building and home automation,
  • Appliances,
  • HVACR,
  • General industrial, and
  • Electrical equipment.

The 656 and 658 Series Fuse Blocks offer the following key benefits:

  • Provides PCB-mounted and surface-mounted solutions for designs that require 5 x 20 mm fuse sizes.
  • High voltage 500 V ac/V dc rating with 30 A current rating that accommodates many power applications.
  • UL recognized to UL/CSA 4248-1.
