2 Agenda High Voltage Cartridge Fuse –Portfolio Overview –Fuse Selection Guide –New Product Development Strategy –Application Guide RTMs: 477 series, 505 series, 506 series, 508 series and etc.

3 Cartridge Fuse Portfolio Overview

4 Fuse Selection Guide Selection Factors –Normal operation current –Application voltage (AC or DC) – Voltage Rating –Maximum available fault current – Interrupting Rating –Overload current and length of time in which the fuse must open –Pulse, Surge Currents, Inrush Currents, Start-up Currents and Circuit Transients –Ambient temperature –Physical size limitations, e.g. length, diameter, or height –Agency Approvals required, e.g. UL, CSA, VDE, METI and etc –Fuse features (mounting type/form factor, ease of removal, axial leads, visual indication, etc.) –Fuse-holder features, if applicable and associated rerating (clips, mounting block, panel mount, PC board mount, etc.) –Application testing and verification prior to production

7 Applications for the 477 series VAC/400VDC 5x20 mm Slo-Blo ® Type Fuse

8 Application for 477 series -- Ballast *477series 600Vac in Ballast Application : 600Vac-rated fuse for Industrial Ballast (for working voltage 480Vac to 600Vac).

P P P, 3PCS each set Application for 477 series -- Air-conditioner *477series 600Vac in Air-conditioner Application: 600Vac-rated fuse for Air-conditioner(for working voltage less than 500Vac).

10 Higher Voltage Output Combined with the Need for High Efficiency Power Supplies: Due to the combined demand for higher output voltages and High efficiency Power Factor Correction (PFC) Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS) there is an increasing need for a higher DC voltage rated Fuse. Increase in demand for high efficiency White Goods, HVAC equipment, ARC Welders and Fluorescent Lighting and many more High Voltage applications has driven the need for our 477 Series (3AB) Fuse. Our insatiable quest for a bigger and better Audio Visual experience. When a TV panel goes beyond 32 inches, the CCFL (cold cathode fluorescent) backlighting is driven directly from the 400VDC. Another example of the demand for higher voltages and energy efficiency. The larger the panel the more voltage required and energy consumed!!! Socket Name Fuse Used Currently Market Driver Technical Why and Why Not 400VDC Cartridge and Radial lead fuse Ex. 5x20mm PFC for higher power efficiency PFC output voltage at 380 to 400DC for a input of 90 to 240 AC. Since the AC could rated up to 264 V, the voltage rating of the components on the PFC line are rated at least 380Vdc or higher. Application for 477 series -- LCD TV Market Background

11 Note: For power saving purpose, there are increasing needs for Standby Circuit protection. Application for 477 series -- LCD TV (cont)

12 Application for 477 series -- LCD TV (cont) OC Protection of HV DC Bus Design Notes: Protection Application: For the SMPS, after the PFC circuit, there is a 400VDC bus, due to impedance of the PFC circuitry, when there is a abnormal condition at the 400VDC bus, there is a threat of thermal event for the PFC circuit and the DC to DC circuitry. Solution Description: As shown at the left, a 400V to 450V high breaking capacity DC fuse can be used for short circuit and overload current conditions. LF provide 477 series for the protection. The 477 comes in a 5x20mm package. Companion Solutions: N/A Regulatory Issues: UL Recognized pending. Unique Features: Does not apply. Application Warnings: Caution must be taken for the breaking capacity of the fuses when apply a 250V AC fuse at this application. Circuits for Larger LCD TV Circuits for Smaller LCD TV
