Title: Littelfuse DMM HRC talk = Our fuses are more tolerant to inrush currents
Post by: Kiriakos GR on January 18, 2025, 04:04:14 PM
I had long time to read Littelfuse FLU Series datasheet.

The one I found this is dated at 8/2022.
The current curve of FLU.440 this is truly impressive in comparison to Bussmann.
At 10 ~20 Milli-Seconds Littelfuse appears to handle twice inrush current = 3.5A 

While both SIBA and Bussmann, at equivalent conditions, they are up to 1700mA.   
 
Despite the impressive paper work, Its hard for me to believe that Littelfuse, is that superior at their R&D, than anyone else.

With 100% certainty at Littelfuse INC. all drink bad quality of whine since 2006 and up to date.

2006 documentation this is more hilarious, as it demonstrates 440mA Current time curve this starting at 2.0A
At 2008 Littelfuse documentation this were improved, 440mA Current time curve this now starting at 2.0A again :-X
At 2022, no further progress was made, identical document.
At 2030 they might discover that 440mA Current time curve this it should begin from the 440mA as starting point. :P

What is outrageous, this is that FLUKE Corporation added Littelfuse FL series at their store too.
And I do wonder, which datasheet FLUKE Corporation reviewed?? so to make such a choice.

OMG, both of these American brands, they shown worldwide, that no one of them can be really trusted.
