SCHURTER SMD-SPT 5x20 Surface Mount Fuse, Time Delay, 10A, 250V, 5mm x 20mm

The SCHURTER SMD-SPT 5x20 Surface Mount Fuse is a high-reliability component designed for soldering directly onto printed circuit boards (PCBs). It provides essential overcurrent protection in a compact, surface-mount package, making it ideal for modern, space-conscious electronic designs.

Engineered for automated assembly processes, this fuse withstands high reflow and wave soldering temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds. Its robust construction ensures performance is maintained across a wide operating temperature range from -55°C to 125°C, guaranteeing stable operation in demanding industrial, automotive, and consumer electronics environments.

With a Time Delay (T) blow characteristic, this 10A fuse offers protection against temporary inrush currents that might occur during power-up, preventing nuisance blowing while still safeguarding against sustained overloads and short circuits. It boasts a voltage rating of 250V AC and a high breaking capacity of 1.5kA, ensuring it can safely interrupt significant fault currents.

The standard 5mm x 20mm metric size makes it a direct, drop-in replacement for many common cartridge fuse footprints, facilitating easy integration into existing designs. Its solderable terminals provide a secure mechanical and electrical connection to the PCB, enhancing overall system reliability.

This component is part of SCHURTER's SMD-SPT 5x20 series, a range renowned for its quality and performance in surface-mount applications. By choosing this fuse, designers incorporate a critical safety device that combines proven technology with the manufacturing efficiency of surface-mount assembly.
