SCHURTER UMT 250 SMD Fuse Slow Blow 250mA 4012

The SCHURTER UMT 250 SMD Fuse is a high-performance, slow-blow fuse designed for surface-mount applications where reliable circuit protection is essential. Engineered for precise current interruption, this 250mA fuse provides a crucial safeguard against overcurrent conditions in a wide range of electronic devices.

It features a robust 4012 case style, offering a compact footprint ideal for modern, densely packed PCBs. With a voltage rating of 250V AC or 125V DC, it is versatile enough for use in both alternating and direct current circuits. The 'slow blow' or time-delay characteristic allows it to withstand harmless temporary current surges, such as those caused by inrush currents from capacitive loads, without interrupting the circuit, while still providing reliable protection against sustained overloads.

A key specification is its impressive breaking capacity, rated at 200A AC and 100A DC. This high interrupting rating ensures the fuse can safely clear severe short-circuit faults without rupturing, maintaining system integrity and safety. Manufactured by SCHURTER, a leader in circuit protection components, this fuse is built to exacting quality standards for consistent performance and long-term reliability in demanding environments.

Its miniature SMD design saves valuable board space and is compatible with automated pick-and-place assembly processes, making it a cost-effective choice for volume production. This fuse is an indispensable component for designers and engineers seeking dependable overcurrent protection in telecommunications equipment, power supplies, industrial controls, and consumer electronics.
