Frequently Asked Questions

What distinguishes fast-acting fuses from slow-blow fuses?

Slow-blow fuses offer a low level of resistance to allow temporary overloads to pass through unhindered for a small period of time, whereas fast-acting fuses quickly protect against short circuits and overloads by blocking the flow of current practically instantly.

What is the SFS series fuses' breaking strength?

The SFS series fuses can withstand strong surge currents without blowing or harming delicate equipment since they have a high breaking capacity rated up to 1500A.

Are SFS series fuses compliant with RoHS?

The SFS series fuses do not contain any hazardous materials and comply with RoHS.
