Fuseholders uprated to 16 A

30 January 2002 Power Electronics / Power Management

Seventeen styles of Bulgin's fuseholders have now received UL approval to 16 A at 250 V a.c. Previously rated at 10 A, 250 V a.c., UL (the USA-based approval body) has extensively tested the range and increased the approval rating up to 16 A 250 V a.c.

The increased rating is in addition to the approvals already held from VDE, CSA, SEMKO and IMQ and is testament to the quality of the products. Manufactured from flame retardant nylon and polyester materials the fuseholders offer a choice of styles and protection categories (PC2 and PC3) for 1,25" x 0,25" and 1" x 0,25", and 5 x 20 mm fuses with a variety of mounting and carrier options including; drawer style, screw or bayonet cap, screwdriver or finger carrier release and screw or snap to panel fixing.
