Bussmann PCB-1-1/2-R – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What amp ratings does the Bussmann PCB sub-miniature fuse come in?
Three ratings across the PCB series: 1.5A (PCB-1-1/2-R), 2A (PCB-2-R), and 3A (PCB-3-R). Pick the rating against the continuous circuit load, since the fuse is specified to hold a minimum of 4 hours at 100% of rated current and open within 10 seconds maximum at 200%.
2) Will the Bussmann PCB fuse fit my board layout, and how much space does it need?
The body is sub-miniature: .35 IN long, .345 IN high, and .184 IN wide. It is terminated in radial leads, so the two leads exit the same side for vertical mounting into a PCB socket or through-hole pads. Lay out for that footprint plus the socket height rather than the bare body.
3) Is this fuse a fast-acting or time-delay type, and what does that mean for inrush?
Fast-acting. The PCB series opens in 10 seconds maximum at 200% of rated current and holds 4 hours minimum at 100%. That is intentional for board-level protection of semiconductors and compact DC circuits, but it means a load with real inrush (motor, large capacitor bank) can nuisance-open it. For those, a time-delay fuse is the right call.
4) Can the Bussmann PCB fuse go through a board wash after soldering?
Yes. The PCB series fuse is built board washable, so it survives standard aqueous or solvent cleaning after reflow or wave solder without needing to be masked off or installed post-wash.
5) Does this Bussmann fuse have a blown-fuse indicator?
No. The PCB series is non-indicating, so there is no visual pop-up or LED to flag an opened fuse. On a populated board you diagnose it with a meter across the leads. If your service technicians rely on a visual check, specify an indicating fuse instead.
6) How many fuses come in a pack of the Bussmann PCB series?
Each order is 5 fuses in standard packaging, all the same amp rating. If you are stocking a repair bench across the range, you order 1.5A, 2A, and 3A separately.
7) Is the Bussmann PCB fuse suitable for a DC circuit, or is it AC only?
It is specified for high voltage DC applications, which is the harder duty of the two because a DC arc has no zero crossing to help extinguish it. That is the application the PCB series is built around for compact board assemblies.
8) Is the PCB fuse soldered in or does it drop into a holder?
Either works. The radial leads are made for PCB socket mounting, so if your board already carries a sub-miniature fuse socket or clip the fuse drops straight in and stays field-replaceable. Leads can also be through-hole soldered where the fuse is not meant to be serviced.
