AMP-TRAP®–Form 101

A15QS SEMICONDUCTOR PROTECTION FUSES

A15QS Amp-trap Form 101 Semiconductor Protection
®

fuses were designed for the specific protection

of diodes and other semiconductor devices rated
150VAC/DC.
The A15QS product line’s compact design is perfect
for those applications that have limitations on avail-
able space.
Features/Benefits
