Additional notes

A Fuse is a safety device used to protect an electrical circuit from higher current. It has a strip of wire that melts and breaks an electric circuit when the current exceeds a desired level. Regular fuses are always connected in series with components to be protect from overcurrent, so when the fuse blows (opens) it will open the circuit and stop any current through the components. Regular fuses des not allow for any spike over the current rating of the fuse. This fuse is a fast acting fuse that bursts instantly when high current is passed through it. It can be operated over a wide range of temperatures. It is designed to meet an extensive array of performance characteristics in a space-saving subminiature package and can be integral part of circuit boards due to its easy mounting through provided axial leads. This kit includes a set of fast acting fuses which are compatible to be used in circuit boards of GE's PET/CT Systems.
