OGN adapter launch fulfils two functions in one
10-10-2024 | Schurter | Industrial
For the Schurter OGN fuse holder, which is available in THT, SMT and THR technology, the company offers various covers and a dedicated plugging aid – until now. It launched a new OGN adapter, which fulfils both functions at the same time.
The currently available OGN plugging aid is an extremely useful tool for placing 5x20 fuses into all types of OGN fuse holders. It makes placing and replacing fuses considerably easier, particularly on densely packed PCBs.
It is often the case that the plugging aid remains in place together with the fuse, which means that it also remains in the appliance during operation. However, this is not permitted for safety reasons. With a rated power consumption of 2.5W/10A, the plugging aid is endangered by overheating.
The company is now considering this with the launch of the new adapter. At 4W/16A, it is particularly heat-resistant and has also been tested for glow-wire resistance. Therefore, it can remain in the device during operation with a clear conscience (VDE approval) and serve as a cover.
The new adapter can, therefore, replace two products at once: the cover and the plugging aid.
