PowerSocket Fuse
Ideal for fuse contacting
PowerSocket Fuse are fuse sockets from Würth Elektronik ICS for mounting on printed circuit boards. The sockets allow the fuses to be connected to the PCB in a maintenance-friendly way. They are designed for press-fit technology and are suitable for 12 V, 24 V and 48 V applications.
Thanks to the solid press-fit technology, the PowerSocket Fuse is optimally connected to the PCB and is therefore extremely resistant to vibration. The plastic housing makes it easier to press the PowerSocket Fuse into the PCB by providing a contact surface for the press-fit tools. The contacts are also protected.

Processing options for PowerSocket Fuse
MPFT (Massive Press Fit Technology)
Massive press-fit technology is the process of pressing solid pins into an electrically plated-through hole in a printed circuit board. Powerelements for press-fit technology have excellent mechanical and electrical properties, making them ideal for use in harsh environments such as high temperature fluctuations or vibration. The press-fit process creates a high performance, gas-tight cold welded connection with a contact resistance of just a few μOhm. This ensures very high current carrying capacity through low resistance contact points.
PCB design
Printed circuit boards must be designed in accordance with the latest edition of IPC A 600. In the case of solid press-fit technology, the PCBs must be designed in accordance with the Würth Elektronik ICS Press-fit Specification. Special attention should be paid to hole diameter and copper thickness.
Further information
Current carrying capacity
The current carrying capacity of a press-fit connection must always be considered in the context of the overall system. The press-fit zone itself has an extremely low contact resistance, so that the limiting factor is usually to be found in the layout of the PCB or the connection of external supply lines.
Max. permissible contact temperature 130°C (blade contact to PowerSocket contact)
