Corded

Corded power tools with brushless dc (BLDC) motors or universal motors that operate on dc or ac power require extensive overcurrent, overvoltage, and ESD protection. Littelfuse provides electronics that help ensure the machines operate safely. We also offer extensive portfolios of rectifiers and current transformers designed specifically for use with small, high-speed motors.

BLDC & Universal Motors

Corded power tools can use brushless dc (BLDC) motors or universal motors that run on dc or alternating current. A block diagram shows Littelfuse components that perform essential functions in both types of motors. Our solutions include rectifier diodes for dc switching, triacs for ac switching, NTC thermistors for temperature sensing, and metal oxide varistors for overvoltage protection.
