Keystone Electronics (distributed in Australia by NPA) has expanded its range of low-insertion force, compact THMautomotive blade fuse holders to incorporate surface mount technologies.

The surface mount holders are designed to secure positioning during reflow soldering.

The surface mount holders are designed to secure positioning during reflow soldering and feature fully insulated clips to protect fuses and reduce assembly time. Insulators are made of UL 94 V-O Nylon with tin-nickel-plated brass contacts to withstand shock and vibration.

The holders' voltage rating is 500 VAC and 20 Amps current. The expanded selection includes a universal surface mount holder to accommodate both standard and low profile "mini" auto blade fuses and a holder which accepts "mini" auto blade fuses.

In addition, Keystone also offers a universal holder for through hole mounting, as well as a universal through hole mount clip, which accommodates both standard and low profile "mini" style auto blade fuses.
