501A Series – High Current 1206 Fast-Acting Fuse
Description
The 501A series AECQ-Compliant fuses and Halogen free
fuse series are specifically tested to cater to secondary
circuit protection needs of compact auto electronics
application.
The general design ensures excellent temperature stability
and performance reliability. The high I2t values which are
typical in the Littelfuse Ceramic Fuse family, ensure high
inrush current withstanding capability.
Features
• OperatingTemperature
from -55ºC to +125ºC
• Suitable for both leaded
and lead-free reflow/wave
soldering

Notes:
Devices designed to carry rated current for four hours minimum. It is recommended that
devices be operated continuously at no more than 80% rated current. See “Temperature
Re-rating Curve” for additional re-rating information.
1. DC Interrupting Rating tested at rated voltage with time constant <0.5msec.
2. Nominal Resistance measured with <10% rated current.
3. Nominal Melting I2t measured at 1 msec. opening time. For other I2t data refer to chart.
Devices designed to be mounted with marking code facing up.
4. Nominal Voltage Drop measured at rated current after temperature has stabilized and
with fuse mounted on board with 3oz Cu trace.
