Current-limiting, fast-acting protection is a core feature of the TPS-60LB. This capability confines fault current to a safe level, reducing energy entering sensitive network modules and minimizing damage during short-circuits. In telecom networks and data centers, that means less downtime and a shorter recovery window. With a 100 kAIC interrupt rating, the fuse stops faults quickly and prevents upstream equipment from experiencing cascading failures, translating to greater cabinet reliability and fewer field-service calls in high-energy distributions and backplane assemblies. Its non-indicating style eliminates LEDs that can fail in harsh environments, simplifying maintenance and reducing false alarms. PCB tab and bolt tag terminations deliver flexible mounting and straightforward integration into existing fuse blocks and PCBs, reducing installation time and retrofit risk. Glass-melamine construction with silver-plated ferrules provides vibration resistance and durable performance in cabinet and outdoor enclosures, while RoHS compliance and CE marking streamline European deployments and supplier audits. The overall compact footprint enables denser panel layouts without compromising protection, delivering measurable efficiency gains and cost reductions over the product life cycle.

FAQs
The TPS-60LB supports PCB tab and bolt tag terminations, enabling straightforward mounting in board-level protection schemes or standard fuse blocks. Ensure the device is oriented for proper cooling and that the contact surfaces are clean. Use appropriate hardware to secure the terminals and confirm the 170 Vdc rating is not exceeded by supply voltages in the rack. This minimizes installation errors and reduces service calls.
TPS-60LB provides a 60 A amperage rating, 170 Vdc voltage rating, and a 100 kAIC interrupt rating. It is current-limiting and non-indicating, designed for rapid fault interruption without triggering nuisance indications. These specifications support protection of telecom feeders, backplanes, and line cards while maintaining system reliability under fault conditions.
Yes. The TPS-60LB is RoHS compliant and CE marked, ensuring regulatory compatibility for European deployments and adherence to environmental standards. This reduces compliance risk for manufacturers and integrators when sourcing telecommunication protection fuses for EU-based projects.
Absolutely. Its current-limiting behavior minimizes fault energy, which limits downstream damage and shortens repair windows. The non-indicating design reduces maintenance checks in busy cabinets, while its robust construction tolerates vibration and harsh environments. Together, these factors lower spare parts usage and service interventions over the life of telecom equipment.
TPS-60LB measures 0.51 in in length, 1.5 in in height, and 0.3 in in width, weighing about 0.2 lb. Terminations include PCB tab and bolt tag, offering flexible integration into existing PCBs and fuse blocks. This compact form factor supports dense panel layouts and simplifies upgrading legacy protection schemes.
