Overview

The Littelfuse KLC030 is a traditional North American style high-speed fuse designed for the protection of power semiconductor devices rated up to 600V AC. This fuse is part of the KLC series, offering Class aR performance with a 200 kA rms interrupting rating, ensuring robust fault current handling in demanding industrial applications. Engineered primarily for replacement purposes, the KLC030 features a durable melamine body and silver-plated copper terminals for long-term reliability and compliance with stringent standards. It is UL Recognized (File E71611) and CSA Recognized (File LR29862). The KLC series, including the KLC030, is available in an ampere range of 1–800A and is ideal for protecting sensitive components in applications such as small power converters, power supplies, and control circuits where fast-acting overcurrent protection is critical. The cylindrical design with bolted tag mounting options ensures compatibility with standard North American fuse holders like the 1LFS101/1LFS102 and LSCR001/LSCR002. Operating effectively within a wide temperature range of -55°C to +125°C, this fuse meets RoHS compliance. Manufactured in Mexico, the KLC030 embodies Littelfuse's commitment to consistent quality and predictable performance. For new designs requiring advanced features, Littelfuse recommends the L70QS series. Trust Littelfuse, a leader in circuit protection, for dependable semiconductor fuse solutions that minimize downtime and extend equipment lifespan.
