Subject: [SI-LIST] Can a thin PCB trace be used as a reliable fuse
Hi Masters,
This is really not an SI related query, but comes under electronics =
design.=20
My query is this. Can a thin PCB trace be used as a reliable fuse. I =
have a real estate problem on my PCB & require 4 fuses with current =
threshold of 6A. I searched for the components & found they too huge to =
use on the PCB.
So thought I can use trace as fuse!!=20
If it is possible is there any paper that has this explained?=20
Please help.
Thanks,
Tilak
