What is an Electrical Timer?

A timer is a small device that automatically opens and closes an electrical circuit for a specific period of time. It allows you to program the on/off switching of different devices in a simple and straightforward manner. The range of applications are very diverse, such as; Industrial process controls, machinery, electric water heaters, and home automation, etc.

Schurter FPR High-Performance Fuse Holder

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.
