Littelfuse recommends a PCB layout with a large copper area for heat dissipation, and a thermal management system with a heat sink and thermal interface material to keep the junction temperature below 150°C.
Derate the fuse by 5-10% for every 10°C above 25°C ambient temperature, and consider using a fuse with a higher current rating to account for temperature-related derating.
Use a wire with a minimum AWG size of 18 and a temperature rating of at least 150°C, such as a Teflon-insulated wire, to ensure reliable connections and minimize voltage drop.
Yes, but ensure the fuse is properly secured to the PCB using a suitable mounting method, such as a fuse clip or adhesive, and consider using a fuse with a higher vibration and shock rating, such as Littelfuse's automotive-grade fuses.
Calculate the maximum expected current in your circuit, considering inrush currents, surge currents, and steady-state currents, and select a fuse with a current rating that is at least 1.5-2 times the maximum expected current.
