Feature → Business Impact → Application: The TPS-15 delivers a 15 A current rating with a 170 Vdc voltage rating and a 100 kAIC interrupt capability, enabling fast fault clearance that minimizes fault energy and protects sensitive telecom gear in switching systems and data paths. This translates to higher equipment uptime and lower replacement costs in data centers and central offices where space is at a premium. Application: Use in telecom cabinets and outdoor enclosures where compact form factor and high interrupt rating are crucial for reliable service and reduced mean time to repair. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Non-indicating fuse construction avoids false alarms and visual distraction in busy racks, while Ferrule end x ferrule end terminations simplify field installation with compatible connectors and tooling. Application: Ideal for standard ferrule terminations in telecom distribution panels, enabling quick, torque-controlled assembly with consistent contact integrity. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Glass melamine tube construction and silver-plated brass ferrules deliver robust mechanical integrity and corrosion resistance, extending service life in harsh environments. Application: Suitable for both indoor and cabinet-mounted installations where vibration and exposure to contaminants are considerations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Compliances CE Marked and RoHS Compliant ensure regulatory alignment and environmental responsibility, facilitating procurement approvals and supplier audits. Application: Meets European and global supply requirements for telecom equipment and electrical protection devices. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Standard packaging and a compact footprint enable easy replacement and compatibility with existing spares pools, reducing commissioning time. Application: Compatible with common telecommunication fuse blocks and chassis layouts, streamlining maintenance planning and inventory management.

FAQs
TPS-15 uses ferrule end terminations and a standard packaging type, making it compatible with common telecom fuse blocks and cabinet rails. Ensure the enclosure provides 170 Vdc rating and that the contact ferrules match your panel connectors. Verify the 100 kAIC interrupt rating aligns with system fault energy calculations to protect downstream equipment.
The current-limiting design rapidly restricts fault current to minimize energy dissipated during a short circuit, reducing arcing and stress on conductors, transformers, and power systems. This capability translates to shorter outage durations, lower component wear, and improved service continuity for telecom infrastructure and data-center equipment.
TPS-15 is designed for robust use in telecom environments with high interrupt capability and a compact ferrule-to-ferrule form factor. While it offers strong protection, always confirm enclosure rating and environmental conditions in your deployment. Use appropriate enclosure sealing and mounting practices to maintain performance and reliability.
TPS-15 carries CE marking and RoHS compliance, signifying conformity with essential health and safety requirements and reduced hazardous substances in line with European directives. These certifications support regulatory approvals, supplier audits, and cross-border procurement for telecom and electrical protection applications.
Plan for ferrule-end terminations and ensure proper torque and contact seating in the fuse block. Because the device is non-indicating, implement routine electrical testing or current monitoring to verify status. Regularly inspect ferrule connections for corrosion resistance, and keep spare TPS-15 units in your telecom service inventory for fast replacement during fault events.
