Other Fuses

Other fuses are fuses with specifications or applications that are different from general-purpose fuses. Typical examples include micro fuses used on through-hole mount circuit boards and chip fuses used on surface mount circuit boards. These are all non-resettable fuses. The other fuses category also includes warning fuses where the spring extends when the fuse is blown to activate an alarm contact installed inside the fuse or in the holder itself; low-voltage current-limiting fuses that are used to protect low-voltage mainlines; and high-voltage current-limiting fuses that have excellent current limiting and energization performance. Specifications, ratings and other information must be checked in advance, because other fuses are often used under special conditions. For example, usage limitations are applied to specific chemicals in some products.
