TEST AND REQUIREMENTS
All tests are carried out in accordance with the following
specifications:
IEC 60127-1, Miniature fuse - Part 1: Definitions for
miniature fuses and general requirements for miniature
fuse-links
IEC 60127-4, Universal Modular Fuse Links (UMF)
UL 248-14, Low voltage fuses - Part 14: Supplemental
fuses
For the full test schedule refer to the documents listed
above. The testing also covers most of the requirements
specified by METI and CCC.
The tests are carried out under standard atmospheric
conditions in accordance with IEC 60068-1, 5.3. Climatic
category LCT/UCT/56 (rated temperature range: Lower
category temperature, upper category temperature; damp
heat, long term, 56 days) is valid.
Unless otherwise specified the following values apply:
Temperature: 15 °C to 35 °C
Relative humidity: 45 % to 75 %
Air pressure: 86 kPa to 106 kPa (860 mbar to 1060 mbar).
The components are mounted for testing on printed-circuit
boards in accordance with IEC 60127-4, unless otherwise
specified.
The requirements stated in the Test Procedures and
Requirements table are based on the required tests and
permitted limits of IEC 60127-1 and IEC 60127-4
respectively. However, some additional tests and a number
of improvements against those minimum requirements have
been included.
