Littelfuse recommends a PCB layout with a large copper area connected to the thermal pad to dissipate heat efficiently. A minimum of 1 oz copper thickness is recommended, and the copper area should be at least 1 inch x 1 inch in size.
To ensure reliable soldering, Littelfuse recommends using a soldering iron with a temperature range of 250°C to 260°C, and a solder with a melting point of 217°C to 220°C. The component should be soldered within 3 seconds to 5 seconds, and the solder joints should be inspected for any defects.
The maximum surge current rating of the GTCA28-141M-R20 is 200 A for 10 ms, as per the IEC 61000-4-5 standard. However, it's recommended to consult the datasheet and application notes for specific surge current requirements and derating factors.
The GTCA28-141M-R20 is rated for operation up to 125°C, but its performance may degrade at higher temperatures. Littelfuse recommends derating the component's current rating by 1.5% per degree Celsius above 85°C to ensure reliable operation.
Littelfuse recommends using a fuse holder or clip that is specifically designed for the GTCA28-141M-R20. The recommended fuse holder is the FH-141M-R20, which provides a secure and reliable connection to the fuse.
