Overview

The Mersen PCF15-S is a fast-acting midget fuse designed for direct surface mount installation on printed circuit boards (PCBs). This 15A fuse supports both 600VAC and 600VDC applications, providing reliable overcurrent protection for critical electronic components. Part of the PCF series, the PCF15-S eliminates the need for separate fuse clips or holders, reducing component count and streamlining PCB manufacturing with automated assembly compatibility. With a 100kA interrupting rating (I.R.) and response time of ≤10ms, it ensures rapid protection against overcurrent events, safeguarding main frame power boards, small circuit breakers, and other sensitive circuitry. The surface screw mount design with 3.5mm maximum screw size enables secure, vibration-resistant installation directly onto the PCB. UL Component Recognized under File E60314, the PCF15-S meets stringent industry standards for electrical protection in compact, high-performance applications. Ideal for industrial automation, power electronics, and control systems where space and reliability are critical.
