As a cautious analog-centric engineer, I have always liked traditional thermal-based fuses and been somewhat skeptical of electronic fuses (also written as e-fuses or eFuses) due to their active ...

The new SEFUSE D6X offers a new concept in thermal fuse technology. By combining a thermal fuse element and resistor on a single substrate, NEC has created a fast-acting ultimate protection device for ...

Among passive electronic components, the fuse and diode are well known, well understood, widely used, and essential to many circuits and systems. Still, each has inherent shortcomings that make them ...

Why a conventional thermal fuse may not be adequate for EV/HEV battery-related safety. How using a pyro fuse offers a fast-acting, programmable alternative. Operational and safety issues when using an ...
