Effective protection for your electrical appliances.
The role of fuses in today’s world is enormous. We are surrounded by an increasing number of devices that are also often very sensitive to electrical currents. Therefore, it is not surprising that effective overload protection is becoming a key challenge for designers, and the right choice of fuses that break an electrical circuit at the right moment is one of the basic steps in the construction and repair of equipment.
Conquer is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of fuses and dedicated fuse holders. Since 1977, Conquer has been providing products of the highest quality, which is confirmed by certificates and awards held by the company. Fuses by Conquer offer some of the best solutions for overcurrent protection of printed circuits. Additionally, thanks to the casing made of flame-retardant plastic, these fuses can be used even in very harsh outdoor conditions. TME offers fuses packed in various types of casings and with a wide range of available parameters. These products are ideal for protecting consumer electronics, LED lighting systems, chargers and power supplies.
Conquer fuses available at TME
ABE10A250V fuse
TME offers a wide range of standard fuses. They are mostly available in 5x20mm or 6.3x32mm cylindrical casings. The main parameters of such fuses include: rated current range of 500mA to 125A and rated voltage, which ranges from 240V to 500V for AC and from 450V to 600V for DC
A fuse link can be referred to as a fast-acting (or even super-fast-acting) or time-lag fuse. Fast-acting fuses are mostly applied where speed is of key importance. The fuse must then work almost instantaneously, so that other electronic components do not get damaged. Time-lag fuses are used in circuits where momentary overloads may occur, for example when starting a motor or in transformers. The fuse in such installations will not trip immediately – only a continuous overload will trip the fuse and break the circuit.

MMT2A250V time-lag fuse
With the increasing miniaturization of many electronic devices, fuses also had to be modified. Thanks to their small footprint, these miniature fuses can be mounted directly on PCBs (SMD). They also feature a fuse link, but their rated current ranges from 375mA to 50A. The rated voltage range, when compared to cylindrical fuses, is much wider and spans from 24V to 250V (DC) and from 65V to 600V (AC).
Miniature fuses are also available as fast-acting or time-lag fuses.
Conquer THT fuses
Another interesting type of fuses by Conquer is the MMT series (type TE5). These time-lag fuses feature a completely different, cuboid-shaped casing with dimensions of 8.4x4x5.2mm. They are designed for through-hole mounting (THT), so they can be successfully used directly on printed circuit boards. The rated voltage of the MMT series fuses is 250V AC, and the rated current ranges from 1.25A to 3.15A.
MSF series fuses and MST series fuses are also suitable for THT mounting.
