Introduction To Fuses:
A fuse is an electrical or electronic circuit protection device that protects a circuit against overcurrent, by melting or fusing open its’ conductive element when exposed excessive short circuit current flows through it. Some fuses are single-use or “one-shot” designs, others are reusable designs; and this is an important distinction in the marketplace among design engineers. The combined dollar value of all fuse products electrical and electronic will represent about $2.2 billion in global revenues for 2020. While many markets for fuses see growth in electronic, industrial and transportation markets, the transition to battery operated vehicles will have the greatest impact on fuse value, as the requirements shift from traditional blade designs to more robust parts with higher voltage handling in harsh environments.
