EDN and Electronic Products honor SMD fuse innovation
Littelfuse, an industrial technology manufacturing company, has been named winner of the 2025 Product of the Year Award in the Passives category by EDN and Electronics Products for its NANO2 415 Series Surface Mount Fuse
The NANO2 215 Series Surface Mount Fuse represents an advancement in high-voltage circuit protection, providing 1500 A interrupting rating at 277 V in a compact surface-mount package. Created to help electronics manufacturers transition from through-hole fuses to fully automated surface-mount assembly, the device enables higher manufacturing efficiency while protecting against fault currents in demanding applications.
Daniel Wang, senior director of Product Management, Overcurrent-Passives, Littelfuse, said, “Receiving the EDN/Electronic Products Product of the Year Award validates our commitment to advancing circuit protection technologies that improve safety, reliability, and manufacturability. The NANO2 415 Series Surface Mount Fuse helps engineers address the challenges of higher system voltages while supporting modern automated assembly processes.”
The NANO2 415 Series Surface Mount Fuse offers various differentiating advantages, including:
- High interrupting rating: 1500 A at 277 V for enhanced protection in higher-voltage systems
- Voltage buffering capability: Optimised for 250 V applications with unpredictable voltage fluctuations
- Improved surge withstand: Higher I²t performance compared to many competitive solutions
- Compact SMD form factor: Enables automated assembly in next-generation designs
These features make the fuse well-suited for applications such as consumer electronics power supplies, industrial equipment, EV charging infrastructure, appliances, and home automation systems.
