A particularly compact reflowable thermal switch is designed to provide thermal protection for power semiconductors such as MOSFETs, ICs, IGBTs, TRIACs, and SCRs. Due to their inherent self-reinforcing heat-producing behavior, these semiconductor devices can overheat and go into thermal runaway. The RTS is designed to protect against such overheating by reliably interrupting the circuit precisely […]

Chip fuse protects against overcurrent and excessive ambient temperatures
The USN 1206 fuse is designed to meet the challenges associated with packing density in power electronics. The new chip fuse offers temperature-sensitivity suitable for both overcurrent protection and protection against excessive ambient temperatures. The USN 1206 is not a pure thermal fuse, per se. It requires a current flow to blow, thus providing protection […]
IEC appliance outlet includes integrated guides for light pipes
A new IEC appliance outlet, dubbed the series 6610-5, contains integrated guides for light pipes. Designed by Schurter Inc. to channel light from LEDs placed on a printed circuit board to the outlet surface, the new feature is especially suited for use in PDU and UPS applications. The light pipe status indication allows technicians to […]
SMD fuses guard against excessive ambient temperatures
A new chip fuse offers temperature-sensitivity suitable for both over-current protection and protection against excessive ambient temperatures. The USN 1206 from Schurter is not a pure thermal fuse, per se. It requires a current flow to blow, thus providing protection against over-current, just as well as any conventional fuse. In addition, it is also designed […]
Fast-acting SMD fuses cover 5 to 15 A at 125 V ac/dc
SCHURTER’s new High Current Fuse, HCF, is an extremely robust SMD fuse, designed using solid state, thin film technology. With its fast reacting breaking capacity rated 1000 A at 125 VAC/ 125 VDC, over a current range of 5 A to 15A, the HCF is especially suited for use in particularly harsh applications, where the […]
Polarized IEC appliance inlets now shipping from sager electronics
Sager Electronics, a leading North American distributor of Interconnect, Power and Electromechanical components, is now stocking Schurter’s Polarized IEC Appliance Inlets for Protection Class II. The 2577 and 2579 series are designed to polarize the line contact of the power mains into the appliance. The polarized inlets are popularly used in portable audio devices, cable […]
Surface-mount fuses get up to 30-A ratings
SCHURTER’s UMT-H offers a 1500 A breaking capacity at rated voltages of 277 VAC/250 VDC. The compact, high-performance fuse now has VDE approval in addition to UL approval. This time-lag fuse provides overcurrent and short circuit protection in various industrial control applications, such as intrinsically safe applications. The “intrinsic safety” method is one of the most […]
Compact Single-Phase Filter handles up to 60 A
SCHURTER is expanding its successful single-phase filter family, FMAB NEO, with new design series P and Q. This range of single-phase filters combines high performance in a compact design. The new series extends the range of current ratings up to 60 A, with an extended temperature range from -40°C to 100°C. The new FMAB filter […]
Nanocrystalline common-mode chokes mount on PCB
SCHURTER expands its wide range of current compensated chokes with high current types for PCB mounting. The new DKIH series is now available with a nanocrystalline ring core, offering 8 times higher inductance performance than ferrite core versions in the same compact dimension. The new product is designed for single and three phase applications with […]
Heavy duty fuse clips handle 1.5 kV, 32 A
SCHURTER, a leading provider of fuse holders, expands its CSO heavy duty fuse clip family with a cost-effective tin-plated version. The CSO clip, designed for 10.3 mm diameter fuses, is suitable for applications with voltages up to 1500 VAC/VDC and currents to 32A. These unique characteristics are SCHURTER’s response to the increasing photovoltaic system voltage […]
