Pumps, Heaters & Small Motors

As a simplified block diagram shows, a complex system of pumps, motors, and heaters allows coffee makers and espresso machines to grind beans, brew, and foam milk. Each electronic component requires rectifiers, solid state switches, contactors, and temperature sensors. Littelfuse produces those solutions, as well as fuse holders that withstand high humidity.
