Type JAH L Series

Type JAH L Series micro fuse is designed for circuit protection against excessive current in portable electronic equipment, electric
circuit around battery, etc. because the demand for high capacity batteries is increasing.
Wire material is adopted for fuse element, and the performance against rush current is improved in spite of compact design.
Also, the ecology design of Type JAH L Series is environmentally friendly because of its complete lead-free.

FEATURES
1. Our original terminal construction eliminates Tombstone phenomenon.
2. Our original construction design provides excellent fusing and quick acting characteristics.
3. Especially, performance against rush current is excellent since wire material is used for fuse element.
4. Surface temperature rise is 75°C or less when applying rated current for fusing. This gives little influence to the peripheral units.
5. Small size of 3216 ( 3.2×1.6×1.2mm )
6. Suitable for automatic mounting
7. Precise dimensions allows high-density mounting and symmetrical construction of terminals provide “Self-Alignment”.
8. Resistance to soldering heat: Flow soldering 10 seconds at 260°C and Reflow soldering 5 seconds at 250°C respectively.
9. A tape carrier of 8 mm width will be provided as a standard package material.
10. Complete lead-free

 DETERMINATION OF RATED VALUE AND SELECTION OF MICRO FUSE ( TYPE JAH L Series )
Determine rated value of micro fuse, and select correct circuit protection element for your circuit. If you select correct
circuit protection element, safety of your circuit can be ensured.
How to determine rated value of circuit protection element is described below:

■Flow for fuse selection

1. Measurement of circuit values using actual device
Measure circuit values, such as operating current of circuit.
2. Calculation from operating current
From obtained operating current and the category temperature, calculate minimum rated value to determine applicable fuse.
3. Calculation from overload current
From obtained overload current, calculate the maximum rated value to determine applicable fuse.
4. Calculation from inrush current
From inrush current, calculate minimum rated value to determine applicable fuse.
5. Final determination of rated value
From the calculation results of steps 2 through 4, determine rated value.
6. Operation check using actual device
After selecting rating, confirm if device works properly under pre-determined conditions.

■Fuse selection
1. Measurement of circuit values using actual device
Before determining rated value of fuse, preliminarily measure following condition by using the actual device.
1–1 Operating current
Using an oscilloscope or equivalents, measure operating current of circuit.
1–2 Overload current
Using an oscilloscope or equivalents, measure the overload current that needs to break circuit.
1–3 Inrush current
Using an oscilloscope or equivalents, measure inrush current of circuit at power-on or power-off. In addition, determine
number of inrush current applied.
1–4 Category temperature
Measure ambient temperature of fuse circuit.

EXAMPLE TO SELECT RATINGS OF TYPE JAH L Series

<Fuse selection>
Effective operating current : 2.8 A 40Ａ
Effective overload current : 40 A
Inrush current waveform : Fig. A
(Pulse width : 1 ms, Wave height : 40 A)
Numbers to withstand inrush current : 100,000 times 1ms
Category temperature : 85°C
Fig. A : Inrush current waveform
2. Calculation from operating current
2–1 Measurement of operating current
Using an oscilloscope or equivalents, measure operating current (effective current) of actual circuit.
Example : Effective operating current = 2.8 A

2–2 Derating Fig. B

①Temperature derating factor 120

Using Fig. B, find temperature derating factor correspond to temperature. 100

②Rated derating factor 80

Rated derating factor = 0.78 (Constant irrespective of temperature) 60

Use Formula 1 to calculate rated current of the fuse to be used for circuit. 20
Rated current of fuse ≥ Operating current/(①×②) ... Formula 1 0
-50 -25 0 25 50 75 100 125
Example : Category temperature = 85°C, Operating current = 2.8 A Temperature(℃)
①Temperature derating factor = 0.76 (Refer to Fig. B.)
②Rated derating factor = 0.78 (Constant irrespective of temperature)
Calculation using Formula 1 :
Rated current ≥ 2.8/(0.76×0.78) = 4.72 A

The above calculation result shows that the fuse with rated current of 4.72 A or more should be selected for this circuit.
Type JAH L Series, with rated current of 5.0 A or more can be selected.

5
3. Calculation from overload current
3–1 Measurement of overload current
Using oscilloscope or equivalents, measure overload current that needs to break circuit.
Example : Effective overload current = 40 A

3–2 Calculation from overload current

Determine rated current so that overload current can be 2.0 times larger than rated current.
Use Formula 2 to calculate rated current of fuse.
Rated current of fuse ≤ Overload current/2.0 ... Formula 2

Example : Overload current = 40 A

Use Formula 2 to calculate the rated current.
Rated current ≤ 40/2.0 = 20 A
The above calculation result shows that the fuse with rated current of 20 A or less should be selected for this circuit.
Type JAH L Series, with rated current of 12.5 A or less can be selected.

4. Calculation from inrush current

4–1 Measurement of inrush current waveform
Using an oscilloscope or equivalent, measure waveform of inrush 40A
current of actual circuit.

4–2 Creation of approximate waveform 1ms

Generally, waveform of inrush current is complicated. For this reason,
create the approximate waveform of inrush current as shown on Fig. C to
simplify calculation. Fig. C : Inrush current waveform
Red line : Actual measurement waveform
4–3 Calculation of 2t of inrush current Black line : Approximate waveform

Calculate 2t (Joule integral) of approximate waveform.

The formula for this calculation depends on the approximate waveform.
Refer to Table A.
Example : Pulse applied = 1 ms, Peak value = 40 A
Approximate waveform = Triangular wave
Since the approximate waveform is a triangular wave, use the
following formula for calculation.
2t of rush current = 1/3 × m2 × t ... Formula 3
(m : Peak value, t : Pulse applying time)
Use Formula 3 to calculate 2t of the rush current:
2t = 1/3 × 40 × 40 × 0.001 = 0.533 (A2s)
