Specification No. VS-006005; Validation Specification for Surface Mount Fuses The tests for this report were selected to demonstrate that the 461 Series Square Nano Telecom has met or exceeded the following fuse characteristics commonly expected from today s electronics industry leaders: 3

Robustness Performance Safety If you have any questions about this document we welcome you to call the Quality Assurance Department at Littelfuse. Tel 847-824-1188. 2.0 TEST DESCRIPTIONS PRELIMINARY All fuses, regardless of subsequent testing are measured for initial cold resistance. This is performed by means of a 4-terminal network and a calibrated digital ohmmeter. The fuse is placed in a suitable nest, oriented so that the fuse terminals are accessible to the network probes. A reference current of no more than 10% of the fuse current rating is applied for this measurement. Only fuses that fall within published limits for resistance are used in the performance of the tests that follow. Unless otherwise specified, fuses are mounted to multi-position printed circuit boards prior to submission to testing. Fuses are mounted using Kester Type R244 NC SnPb Alloy 63/37, 86%, mesh 325+500 solder paste and the attached IR reflow profile. The mounted fuses are then allowed to cool for a minimum of one hour before the initial onboard resistance measurements are taken. This second set of readings is taken by placing the boards into a clamshell fixture with bed of nails probes. These probes contact the lands on the reverse side of the board, which are electrically connected to the fuse terminals. These probes form a 4-terminal network, similar to the one described above. These initial on-board resistance readings form the baseline measurements to which all subsequent measurements are referenced. Where testing specifies loose fuses, only the unmounted resistance measurements are taken. Figure 1: IR Reflow Profile 4

2.1 CURRENT CARRYING CAPACITY The current carry capacity test is conducted to ensure that the fuses will not open prematurely. The fuses are required to withstand 4 hours at 100 % of rated current even though it is recommended that fuses be not operated continuously at more than 75 % of rated current. Performed in accordance with Littelfuse Specification No. VS-006005. 2.2 OVERLOAD OPERATION Fuses are subjected to an overload current equal to 250% of the fuse rating to verify that the fuses will open before damage occurs in a circuit due to a sustained overload condition. These opening times verify the fuse will operate as specified; they should not be taken as absolutes for designing circuits, as slight variations can be expected from lot to lot. The solder connections of the same fuses to the PC boards are then visually inspected for wetting and mechanical integrity. Performed in accordance with U.L. 248-14 (Supplemental Fuses). Solder joint inspection in accordance with IEC-60127-1, Clause 8.5. 2.3 INTERRUPTING ABILITY The bulk of the interrupting tests are addressed in para. 2.18, Power Line Cross Capability. The test conditions described in this section are intended to supplement those tests. In addition to verifying interrupting capacity, the 600 Vac / 40 amp test at unity power factor and random closing angle described below is used as a performance test. This short circuit condition is one of two performance tests to which fuses are subjected after undergoing the various electrical, mechanical, and environmental tests described in the paragraphs below (see also the Lightning Surge test para. 2.4). The short circuit test is performed to ensure that the fuses safely operate and protect the circuit when subjected to various currents and voltages. The fuse should not rupture or burn. Performed in accordance with U.L. 248-14 (Supplemental Fuses). Note: For this application, the following exceptions are taken to the Littelfuse specification: All AC short circuit tests are performed at unity power factor. The DC test is done with less than a 1 millisecond time constant. All short circuit tests are performed using a 5 second open circuit hold voltage. In order to meet the application specific requirements for this product, separate groups of fuses are tested to the following conditions (worst case closing angle except where noted): 250 Vac / 50 amps 5

2.4 LIGHTNING SURGE 600 Vac / 60 amps 600 Vac / 60 amps, random closing angle 600 Vac / 40 amps, random closing angle The bulk of the lightning surge tests are addressed in para. 2.17, Lightning Surge Withstand Capability. This test in this paragraph is one of two performance tests to which fuses are subjected after undergoing the various electrical, mechanical, and environmental tests described below (see also Interrupting Ability para. 2.3). This test is designed to ensure that the fuses are capable of withstanding brief surges of high voltage and current, as would be experienced during a close proximity lightning strike. The inrush pulse would be of a short duration, high current spike, which then decays to a lesser value, all at high voltage.

Monitoring of the circuit is done using a Tektronix Model TDS 3012 2-channel digital phosphor oscilloscope. The ½ amp rated fuses are tested using the FCC 47, Part 68, Type B Telephone Line Surge. Testing to the FCC specification is done off-site. 2.5 INSULATION RESISTANCE This test ensures that fuses that have operated (opened) have done so with no evidence of internal carbon tracking or any phenomenon which would provide a high resistance current path, or any means by which current is re-established in the opened circuit through the open fuse. A 100 Vdc potential is applied to the fuse terminals, and the resistance is measured on a calibrated meg-ohmmeter. This test is performed on all fuses that have been subjected to testing, the desired end result of which is the opening of the fuse. All open fuses shall have an insulation resistance of no less than 10 k ohms after operating. Performed in accordance with Method 302 of MIL-STD-202, Test Condition A. 6

2.6 RESISTANCE TO MOISTURE This test is designed to ensure that the fuses are resistant to the effects of moisture, wetting and heat of tropical environments. These phenomena produce many types of deterioration, including corrosion of metals, physical distortion and decomposition of organic materials, leaching out and spreading of the constituents of materials, and detrimental changes in a component s electrical properties. On completion of the test, performance requirements are evaluated by subjecting half of the fuses to the Lightning Surge test of para. 2.4 above. The other half of the fuses is subjected to the Interrupting Ability test of para. 2.3 above. Performed in accordance with method 106F of MIL-STD-202F. (Exception per EIA/IS-722: 50 cycles of ambient conditions to 65 C/ 100% relative humidity). 2.7 THERMAL SHOCK (TEST CONDITION B) The thermal shock test is performed to determine the resilience of the fuses to the exposure to alternating extremes of high and low temperature such as might be encountered in equipment operated intermittently in low temperature environments or during transportation. Effects of thermal shock can include; Cracking and delamination of housings, opening of thermal seals, and changes in the component s electrical characteristics. Performed in accordance with Method 107G of MIL-STD-202F, Test Condition B : (Exception per EIA/IS-722: 200 cycles -55 C to 125 C, for 30 minutes each). On completion of the test, performance requirements are evaluated by subjecting half of the fuses to the Lightning Surge test of para. 2.4 above. The other half of the fuses is subjected to the Interrupting Ability test of para. 2.3 above. 2.8 LIFE TEST This test is to determine the long-term robustness of the design by exposing the fuses to elevated temperature (70 C) for 1000 hours, while carrying 60% of the fuse rated current. Fuses shall not open during this test, nor shall it result in any physical damage as a result of the test. After testing the solder connections of the same fuses to the PC boards are then visually inspected for wetting and mechanical integrity. On completion of the test, performance requirements are evaluated by subjecting the fuses to the Interrupting Ability test of para. 2.3 above. Performed in accordance with Method 108 of MIL-STD-202 (See also EIA/IS- 722). Solder joint inspection in accordance with IEC-60127-1, Clause 8.5. 7

2.9 RESISTANCE TO SOLVENTS This test verifies that markings or color coding will not become illegible when the device is subjected to solvents and the processes normally used to clean solder-flux, fingerprints and other contaminants. In addition, this test establishes that protective coatings and encapsulated materials are not degraded to the point where electrical or mechanical integrity is altered from specifications. On completion of the test, performance requirements are evaluated by subjecting all of the fuses to the Lightning Surge test of para. 2.4 above, and then to the Interrupting Ability test of para. 2.3 above. Performed in accordance with method 215J of MIL-STD-202F. (Exception per EIA/IS-722: Measure shift in resistance after test). 2.10 MECHANICAL SHOCK / HIGH FREQUENCY VIBRATION Both mechanical shock and vibration tests are performed on the same group of fuses. Mechanical shock evaluates the ability of the fuses to withstand sudden, sharp physical blows, such as those that might be encountered during rough handling. The fuses are exposed to 18 half-sine shocks (6 in each of 3 mutually perpendicular axes), consisting of 50G peak acceleration, 11 millisecond duration. There is to be no physical or electrical damage to the fuses. After exposure to the above test, the same fuses are subjected to the high frequency vibration test of MIL-STD-202, method 204, Test Condition D. There is to be no physical or electrical damage to the fuses. On completion of the test, performance requirements are evaluated by subjecting all of the fuses to the Lightning Surge test of para. 2.4 above, and then to the Interrupting Ability test of para. 2.3 above. Mechanical shock performed in accordance with Method 213, Test Condition A of MIL-STD-202F. (Exception per EIA/IS-722: Measure shift in resistance after test). High frequency vibration performed in accordance with Method 204, Test Condition D of MIL-STD-202F. (Exception per EIA/IS-722: Measure shift in resistance after test). 2.11 TERMINAL STRENGTH The purpose of this test is to determine the robustness of the design when the fuses are subjected to physical flexing and stressing of the printed circuit boards on which they are mounted. The board bend test of EIA/IS-722, para. 4.5.5 is to be used. The board assembly (with fuse mounted) is placed between two supports with the component facing down. From above, a downward force is applied to the center of the board sufficient to cause a board deflection of 1 mm for 1 8

minute. There is to be no damaged to the fuse, or the solder connection to the board. No performance tests follow board bend. Performed in accordance with EIA/IS-722. 2.12 MATERIAL STRENGTH This test is designed to determine the effects of physical pressure being exerted directly onto the component. A 1 kg force is applied for 10 seconds to the center of the fuse housing, with the fuse oriented in an upright position. The fuses shall not crack, chip, break, or suffer other physical damage. On completion of the test, performance requirements are evaluated by subjecting half of the fuses to the Lightning Surge test of para. 2.4 above. The other half of the fuses are subjected to the Interrupting Ability test of para. 2.3 above. The tests that follow are performed on unmounted, previously untested fuses (except for initial cold resistance measurements). 2.13 SOLDERABILITY CAPABILITY These tests inspect the fuse terminations for acceptable wetting resulting from solder application. 2.13.1 IEC-60127-4 IR REFLOW SOLDER Loose unmounted parts are subjected to a 3 second 215 C IR reflow application as per IEC-60068-2-58, Test Td. No steam aging or preconditioning is required. The fuse terminations are visually inspected for solder wetting. This test is performed in accordance with IEC-60127-4, which in turn references IEC 60068-2-58. 2.13.2 HAND SOLDER Loose, unmounted parts are mounted to PC boards with a hand soldering application. The soldering gun is maintained at 350 C, and the heat is applied to the board at the point of the fuse terminations for 2 seconds on each terminal. The fuse terminations are visually inspected for solder wetting. On completion of the test, performance requirements are evaluated by subjecting half of the fuses to the Lightning Surge test of para. 2.4 above. The other half of the fuses are subjected to the Interrupting Ability test of para. 2.3 above. 9

2.14 RESISTANCE TO DISSOLUTION OF METALLIZATION Loose, unmounted parts are steam aged for 8 hours as per MIL-STD-202F, Method 208H, Category 3. Following this preconditioning, parts are dipped in the appropriate flux as specified in IPC / EIA J-STD-002A and exposed to the Resistance to Dissolution of Metallization Test D of the same specification. The solder pot is maintained at a temperature of 260 C. Dwell time is 120 seconds. The fuse terminations are visually inspected for solder wetting. This test is performed in accordance with MIL-STD-202F, Method 208H, Test Condition B (SMD); which in turn references IPC / EIA J-STD-002A Solderability tests for Component Leads, Terminations, Lugs and Wires. 2.15 RESISTANCE TO SOLDERING HEAT This test are designed to evaluate the robustness of the fuses when exposed to extreme conditions of heat, which might be encountered during a board mount operation. Fuses will be board mounted as a result of this test. Possible damaging effects of soldering heat are compromised electrical characteristics, mechanical damage to the fusing element, and cracks or loosening of the termination joints. Fuses are processed through an Infra-Red reflow oven with the profile settings adjusted so as to achieve a peak fuse body temperature of 230 C at 30 seconds maximum during a total 5 minute cycle. The fuses are visually inspected for signs of damage to the housings and / or terminations. On completion of the test, performance requirements are evaluated by subjecting half of the fuses to the Lightning Surge test of para. 2.4 above. The other half of the fuses are subjected to the Interrupting Ability test of para. 2.3 above. Performed in accordance with VS-006005. 2.16 TERMINAL ATTACHMENT A 2 Kg pull force is applied for 5 seconds to the end caps of loose, unmounted fuses. The fuse caps shall not separate, nor shall there be damage to the fuse housings. The fuses shall have continuity after this test. Performed in accordance with MIL-STD-202, Method 211, Test Condition A. 2.17 LIGHTNING SURGE WITHSTAND CAPABILITY Designed to allow compliance with Telcordia GR-1089-CORE Lightning Surge requirements. Test 3 from the First Level requirements represents the most severe condition. The test requires pulsing the fuse 50 times with a 10x1000 microseconds, 100A peak waveform. Verification testing was performed on 25 parts and exhibited no degradation in performance. Ten of those twenty-five parts were subjected to additional repetitions and allowed to continue until opening. 10

2.19 WETTING BALANCE This test is designed to quantitatively determine the solderability of terminations of surface mounted devices. The fuses are dipped individually into Type ROL0 flux for 5 to 10 seconds prior to exposure to solder. The excess flux is removed by blotting, and the parts are allowed to dry for 5 to 20 seconds before being immersed into the solder. Each fuse termination is immersed only once into the solder bath to a minimum depth of 0.10 mm. Dwell time is 5 seconds. The surface of the solder, stabilized at 235 C, is skimmed prior to immersion. During the immersion process, a solder meniscus force measuring device monitors T 0 (time to buoyancy corrected zero) and F5 (wetting force at five seconds from start of test). Acceptance criteria under IPC/EIA J-STD-002A, Test F Wetting Balance Test (Leadless Components) Set B is T 0 shall be 2 seconds or less. F5 at five seconds shall be 50 µn/mm or more. The fuse termination shall exhibit positive wicking beyond its immersion depth. Performed in accordance with IPC/EIA J-STD-002A, Test F, Set B. 12
