Schurter Launch - UST 1206

April 4, 2025

Schurter ust 1206

UST 1206 - New Up To 35 A

  • Ultra-compact SMT fuse in size 1206
  • Rated currents up to 35 A
  • Impermeable to potting compound

In 2008, Schurter launched the first SMT chip fuse in the 1206 format: the UST 1206. Since then, this particularly compact and powerful fuse has enjoyed great popularity. In response to a number of customer requests, SCHURTER is expanding its product portfolio with even more powerful versions of the UST 1206 with rated currents of up to 35 A.

The Schurter UST 1206 is a chip fuse for surface mounting with a “slow-blow” characteristic. This means that it has a high melting integral I2t, thanks to which the fuse does not trip immediately at inrush current peaks higher than the rated current. This is of great importance in many industrial applications (e.g. motors, power converters).

UL 248-14 Characteristic
The UST 1206 was designed for UL 248-14 characteristics. With such fuse-links, the rated current corresponds to the current that interrupts the current flow after several hours. The maximum current that may flow continuously without the fuse-link tripping is around 70 % of the rated current.

New Variants up to 35 A
Previous versions of the UST 1206 had a maximum rated current of 25 A. This range will be increased to 30 A and 35 A with two further variants. The rated voltage is 32 VAC and 63 VDC respectively. The fuse can be operated from -55 °C to +90 °C.

Application Areas
The Schurter UST 1206 is ideally suited for all applications in secondary overcurrent protection where the current requirement is particularly high even at low voltages.

E-T-A High Performance Circuit Breakers

Typical Applications

High performance circuit breakers are ideally suited to protect against overcurrent and short circuit for use in aircraft and vehicles and other specialised equipment where safety is paramount. Battery isolation switches are ideally suited for installation in the main battery systems of heavy duty vehicles including tankers, boats, off-road plant and other battery-powered equipment.

Technology

High performance circuit breakers feature thermal or thermal-magnetic trip and an extremely high rupture capacity. Battery isolation switches are also based on a thermal-magnetic trip mechanism. The thermal part of the circuit breaker provides delayed protection in the event of overload, the magnetic part disconnects the faulty circuit in the event of overload or short circuit within milliseconds.

Customized High Performance Circuit Breakers such as SG, AP or CBM types are available on request. All products of this group provide genuine physical contact isolation.
