Littelfuse recommends a minimum PCB spacing of 0.5 mm (0.02 inches) between the fuse and other components to ensure proper heat dissipation and to prevent electrical arcing. A larger spacing is recommended for high-voltage applications.
The 0218005.MXEP fuse is rated for operation up to 125°C (257°F). However, its performance and lifespan may be affected at high temperatures. It's recommended to derate the fuse's current rating by 1.5% for every 10°C (18°F) above 85°C (185°F).
The 0218005.MXEP fuse is designed to handle inrush currents up to 50 A²s. However, it's recommended to consider the specific application's inrush current profile and to consult with Littelfuse's application engineers for guidance on fuse selection and sizing.
The 0218005.MXEP fuse meets the requirements of various industry standards, including UL, CSA, and IEC. However, it's essential to consult with Littelfuse's application engineers and to perform thorough testing and validation to ensure the fuse meets the specific requirements of the application.
The 0218005.MXEP fuse is designed for AC circuits, but it can be used in DC circuits with some limitations. The fuse's DC rating is typically 80% of its AC rating. It's recommended to consult with Littelfuse's application engineers for guidance on using the fuse in DC circuits.
