Most grades are available with halogenfree flameretardancy, and in specific electro-grey colour for housings. Also Lasermarkable grades are available. ForTii® has a Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) of 305°C .}
Fuse holder
Industry
Electrical
Material
The fuse holder is a vital element in LVSG that protects different electrical loads against short circuit current. The application houses the fuse and facilitates easy assembly or replacement. Herein, the thermoplastic materials from Envalior Engineering Materials offer an advantage over traditional materials.}
