FPR – High-Performance 5x20 Fuse Holder for Vertical PCB Mounting

  • 3.2 Watt rated power acceptance
  • For vertical PCB mounting
  • Suitable for 5x20 fuses
  • IP40 Protection class

Modern electronic designs require ever higher power density with reduced space requirements – without compromising on safety and reliability. The FPR fuse holder was developed precisely to meet these requirements. It offers an impressive 30% higher power consumption with the same footprint as the well-established FPG4 series. This means more thermal load capacity without taking up additional space on the PCB.

With a power consumption of 3.2 watts at 10 amps at 23 °C ambient temperature, the FPR significantly outperforms the previous generation. The housing dimensions remain compact at 12.5 mm, which enables simple 1:1 integration into existing designs. At the same time, the component meets all relevant standards with regard to vibration resistance in accordance with IEC 60068-2-6 and operates reliably in a temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C. The IP40 degree of protection rounds off the technical profile.

Compatible with FPG4 Series
The FPR provides developers with a powerful, space-saving and easy-to-install solution that impresses with its high thermal load capacity – all without changing the existing layout. The new fuse holder is 100% compatible with the existing FPG4.

Application Areas
The FPR is particularly suitable for applications with high current loads and limited space – for example in industrial automation, mechanical engineering or building automation.
