Miniature

Miniature fuses are automatic switchgears that protect electrical plants, appliances and modules from inadmissibly high current loads. They have various applications. Mersen miniature fuses are used in consumer electronics for safeguarding power supplies and power output amplifiers. They are often used in industrial applications as primary fuses, where in the event of a fault they separate the defective module from the voltage supply in order to forestall any greater damage. Gould Ferraz Shawmut fuse-links for direct mounting on printed circuit boards are used among other things for the secondary current supply in low power devices. In the event of a fault they serve to protect components and PCB traces that might be destroyed by excessive current loads. Bolen's Control House is an authorized distributor of Mersen miniature fuses.
