Littelfuse, Inc. has announced the launch of the 871 Series Ultra-High Amperage SMD Fuse. This innovative new series supplements the 881 Series by offering 150A and 200A fuse ratings, a significant upgrade from the 881 Series’ 125A maximum rating. The 871 Fuse Series provides a single-fuse, surface-mounted solution for electronics designers, eliminating the need for parallel fusing configurations.

The 871 Series High-Current SMD Fuse is the first and only small-sized SMD fuse with ultra-high ratings of 150A and 200A, previously only available in much larger through-hole fuses. This advancement addresses the challenges of higher power requirements and limited fuse amperage ratings, offering a streamlined solution for modern electronic designs.

Product Features and Benefits:

“The 871 Series Fuse helps design teams simplify their processing and bill of materials by eliminating the need for two or more fuse components, reducing it down to just one fuse,” said Daniel Wang, Senior Director of Product Management. “Additionally, these SMD fuses save board space, allowing electronics engineers to optimize their designs further to be smaller and more space efficient.”
