Please Note:The performance of the male terminal is critical to ensuring the fuse will function as designed. The current carrying
MCASE+™ Unslotted HT capability of the mating terminal must be verified to ensure proper system operation. Fixture Test Set Up Refer To ISO 8820 4
(Plated Mating Tab Terminals). Please contact Littelfuse ® for details regarding Test Set Up Definition.

The typical I2t is an average value calculated from the breaking capacity tests by using the melting time before the arcing occurs.

High Current Fuses
ZCASE Masterfuse
The ZCASE Masterfuse product is the smallest high current distribution product in the industry.
It utilizes the Z-Axis effectively to create a compact design which takes one third the footprint
of a traditional solution. This package allows the user to replace multiple discrete fuses in a
power distribution box with a single component, thus eliminating additional bolts, bus bars
and interconnects. The output bolt is integrated into the fuse creating a reliable interface to the
mating terminal due to its high torque withstandablity. Keying features are available on each
bolt position to ensure the correct mating ring terminal is used during assembly. The solution
can also be connectorized to mate to high current terminals. This compact design enables the
integration of the high current distribution into the main junction box due to its small footprint.
This eliminates the need for a separate fuse box for high current distribution. By reducing the
number of components required, overall system costs are reduced.

The ZCASE Masterfuse product is available as a standard design with customized fuse ratings.
The modular manufacturing approach enables a wide range of configurations within a product
ZCASE Masterfuses family. In addition, the form factor can be fully customized for specific applications to further
optimize the system. Contact Littelfuse to review your application needs.

Features and Benefits:

Miniaturization: Compact design enables a 2/3 footprint reduction when compared to a
traditional solution.

Integration: Enables the integration of the prefuse function into the main junction box due to
its small footprint.

High Current Fuses
MASTERFUSE
The MASTERFUSE product is a configurable fuse solution combining several different fuse
types (i.e. MEGA and MIDI) and ratings in one compact package. This fuse package allows the
user to replace multiple discrete fuses in a power distribution box with a single component,
thus eliminating additional bolts, bus bars, and interconnects that are currently used. By
reducing the number of connections required, overall system reliability is increased while cost
is decreased.
Each MASTERFUSE is customized to the user’s application creating an optimized circuit
protection package. Contact Littelfuse to review your application needs.

Features and Benefits:

Increased Reliability:  due to reduced number of terminal interfaces
System Cost Savings:  Material savings due to reduced number of components

MEGA Design and can used as full wire protection until 250A. Higher ratings mostly used for
typically Starter Fuse application as a protector fuse. The fuse design is optimized for a one
bolt connection M6 (40A - 250A) or M8 (300A - 600A) and can used directly on a battery post
or busbar connection. Littelfuse is offering a complete solution for the necessary stud and

Description
ø10.5 31.3 The Sealed M10 ZCASE fuse is designed to mount directly to
a standard forklift battery to provide short circuit protection

Its placement on the battery eliminates the need for any STEP
unfused, high-current wires off of the battery—even the 1
battery terminal itself is protected from short circuits and
accidental contact. In the event of an electrical fault, the
ZCASE style fuse performs quickly and effectively, while also ø10.2 (M10)

 High Current Fuses
MEGA® High Performance Fuse Rated 70V-SF56
The MEGA® 70V-SF56 High Performance (HP) Fuse is designed for high current circuit protection
up to 500A with “Diffusion Pill Technology.” The MEGA 70V HP features 1MOhm Open State
Resistance after fuse opening to guarantee safe interruption at any voltage up to 70V. The MEGA®
70V HP Fuse is ideal for battery and alternator protection application and other heavy gauge
cables requiring ultra-high current protection. The bigger pitch of 56mm serves as a mechanical
coding feature to avoid standard SF51 fuses being mounted.

 High Current Fuses
MEGA® High Performance Fuse Rated 120V-SF56
The MEGA® 120V-SF56 High Performance (HP) Fuse is designed for high current circuit protection
up to 650A with “Diffusion Pill Technology.” The MEGA® 120V HP Fuse is ideal for battery and
alternator protection application and other heavy gauge cables requiring ultra-high current
protection. The bigger pitch of 56mm serves as a mechanical coding feature to avoid standard
SF51 fuses being mounted.

I. Introduction
The purpose of this Fuseology section is to promote a better B. Interrupting Rating
understanding of fuses and some of the more common The interrupting rating (also known as breaking capacity or
application details. The fuses to be considered are current- short circuit rating) is the maximum current, as stated by
sensitive devices which are designed as the intentional weak the manufacturer, which the fuse can safely interrupt at
link in the electrical circuit. The function of a fuse is to provide rated voltage. During a fault or short circuit condition, a

III. Fuse Selection Parameters

Since overcurrent protection is crucial to reliable electrical
system operation and safety, fuse selection and application
should be carefully considered. When selecting fuses, the
following parameters should be evaluated:

A. Voltage Rating
The voltage rating, as marked on a fuse, indicates the
maximum voltage of the circuit for which the fuse is
designed to operate safely in the event of an overcurrent.
Therefore, the fuse’s voltage rating must equal or exceed
the available circuit voltage where the fuse will be installed.
System voltage exceeding the fuse’s rated voltage may
result in fuse damage. The voltage rating is 32 volts DC
for the MINI®, MAXI ®, ATO ®, MIDI®, MEGA®, and
CABLEPRO ® Fuses.

fuse #2 should stay closed and undamaged. The condition
necessary to assure this result is that the minimum melting
I2t of the supply side fuse (fuse #2) must be greater than
the total clearing I2t of the load side fuse (fuse #1). This
condition results in the load side fuse opening before the

VI. Match Wire Gauge to Fuse
MEGA® FUSE 15
In order to protect wiring under all overload and short circuit
conditions, it is necessary to standardize the fuse and wire
selection process.

Table 1: Maximum Recommended Voltage Drop per Terminal

Fuses have controlled opening characteristics, and each wire
gauge has its respective current carrying capacity. Fuses need to
be selected to always protect the wire insulation from damage.

In the selection of wire gauge at various ambient

temperatures, it is important to consider the worst case or
highest ambient temperature for the application. Wires derate
to a much higher degree than fuses, because wire insulation
temperature capability is affected much more severely.
