New D6X combined thermal fuse / resistor

The new SEFUSE D6X offers a new concept in thermal fuse technology. By combining a thermal fuse element and resistor on a single substrate, NEC has created a fast-acting ultimate protection device for high power DC applications upto 12A/32VDC. The D6X works on two principles. Firstly it operates like a conventional thermal fuse which will open when the local ambient temperature reaches the fuses operating temperature. Secondly it responds to an over-current signal from a monitoring circuit which self-heats the resistor thus opening the adjacent fuse. The D6X was designed to fit neatly in the space between adjacent MOSFETS thus improving response time and minimising board space required.

09/6/2017 - Which Temperature Sensor Fits Best? ATC Semitec have recently launched a sample case which features their most popular NTC Thermistors. Visual and tactile − engineers can quickly identify the best mechanical fit before considering temperature ranges, accuracy level, speed of response etc.

13/2/2015 - New Small Body 15A Rated Thermal Fuses NEC’s new SEFUSE SF-R series thermal fuses are 1/3 smaller in volume than conventional pellet-type thermal fuses.

12/12/2014 - New Small Body 15A Rated Thermal Fuses NEC’s new SEFUSE SF-R series thermal fuses are 1/3 smaller in volume than conventional pellet-type thermal fuses. Just 4mm dia. x 8.5mm long, they can still carry the same 15A/250VAC load but can respond up to 15% faster to over-temperature conditions. Thus they offer even greater thermal protection against electrical faults and fires.

12/12/2014 - Boiler Temperature Sensors ATC Semitec have now added a series of temperature sensors for use in gas boilers and electric heating appliances to their wide range of temperature probes. These sensors are also suitable for a variety of temperature sensing applications where a neat, cost-effective solution is required.

12/12/2014 - Competitive Disc Thermostats ATC Semitec’s latest franchise Asahi Keiki offers an extensive range of disc thermostats with Japanese level quality at very competitive pricing.
