Hi all, I have a design that has a 36 to 72 VDC input rated for up to 14 Amps.
I've looked at the standard 5x20mm and 6x32mm fuseholders that we have; and they are rated for 6.3 Amps (SEMKO) 10 Amps (VDE) and 16 Amps (UL). Of course these fuseholders are also rated for up to 250VAC. What I like about the standard fuseholders is the fact that they solder to a PCB with a "right angle" footprint. That is, the PCB can be perpendicular to the panel that the fuses stick out through. We can then design the panel to allow the fuses to protrude; which would allow for safe and convenient user replacement of fuses. Problem is, their current rating is insufficient. Can anybody recommend a fuse-holder that is a right angle PCB mount that will handle the voltages and currents that I'm suggesting above? It would be alright if we need to use a different style of fuse. What is important to me is: current and voltage rating, low form factor, right angle PCB mount and ease of user replacement. I would like to avoid fuseholders that require cable mounting; I want them to solder to the PCB. As a fallback position, I have considered using two of the above fuseholders in parallel with 7.5 Amp fuses installed. Can anybody see a compliance problem with this (considering EN 61010-1).? Thanks for your collective time.
