April 2021- Wellingborough, UK: Hylec-APL, the specialist supplier of electrical components and enclosures, has launched a new 5mm x 20mm PCB fuse holder, the DFH02, for either PCB or thru-hole mounting. The DFH02 features a transparent insulation cover which provides protection for the fuse and makes installation and removal simple. This style of fuse holder is the most popular and best-selling type of fuse holder on the market.
Suitable for use in all types of circuits, Hylec’s DFH02 PCB fuse holders provide a secure and safe method for mounting fuses on all types of PCBs and eliminate the problems associated with using fuse clips on a PCB. Easier to install than fuse clips, DFH02 fuse holders are also low-cost and ensure a reliable electrical and mechanical connection.
The 22.6mm pitch DFH02 can be mounted direct to the PCB in horizontal orientation or thru-hole mounted for vertical orientation. Electrical rating is 6.3A at 250VAC maximum.
The base material is thermoplastic, PA66 glass-filled, offering mechanical strength and excellent dimensional stability. It meets UL94V-0 flame-retardancy standards. The transparent insulation cover is rated UL94-V2.
Dimensions of the DFH02 base are: 13.5mm high off the PCB, width 9.0mm, 22.0mm long. Pin pitch is 22.6mm. Total height with cover off the PCB is 15.0mm.
Samples are available on request and the team at Hylec is on hand to discuss any technical questions about selecting the correct fuse holder for customer applications.
