Littelfuse_MSL_Classification_Product_Brochure.pdf
Understand what MSL classifications mean for packaging, storing, and handling surface mount devices such as fuses, PPTCs, and diodes.
Diodes can supplement the circuit protection work done by fuses. When used for overvoltage protection, diodes with high reverse voltage ratings and low ampere ratings ensure current flows just one way through a circuit. This prevents circuit overload and overheating. Littelfuse makes several of these essential safety devices.
