AEM
SMD fuses and circuit-protection components
About the manufacturer
AEM Components specializes in miniature SMD devices for circuit protection. The company develops fuse technologies for applications that require predictable operation, high reliability and stable performance under demanding conditions.
Its portfolio includes SolidMatrix chip fuses, AirMatrix wire-in-air SMD fuses, CMF high-power fuses, thin-film fuses and automotive-grade families. AEM also offers selected inductive components, ferrite beads and resettable PPTC protection devices.
AEM solutions are used in automotive and EV systems, battery management, computing hardware, servers, 5G networks, IoT devices, power tools and LED lighting. Surface-mount fuses are particularly important where designers need effective overcurrent protection while minimizing PCB area.
Applications
AEM fuses are used to protect electronic circuits against overload and short-circuit conditions. Their compact formats are particularly useful in modern, densely populated devices where effective overcurrent protection must be combined with minimal board space.
- Automotive and EV – protection of electronic modules, BMS and power circuits.
- LED lighting – protection of drivers, modules and power supplies against overloads.
- Servers and IT infrastructure – protection of power rails on densely populated PCBs.
- Telecommunications and 5G – protection of communication modules and network equipment.
- Mobile electronics – miniature overcurrent protection in portable devices.
- Power tools and battery systems – protection of battery and control circuits.
- Industrial automation – protection of power inputs and local electronic circuits.
AEM products available from Maritex
The AEM range available from Maritex includes miniature electronic fuses for circuit protection in industrial, power and electronic equipment. These components are well suited to applications where compact dimensions and reliable interruption of an overload are important.
Available product groups include:
- AEM electronic fuses.
- Miniature overcurrent protection devices.
- PCB-mounted fuses.
- Protection components for power, control and electronic circuits.
The range includes the MF2410F0.500TM, an AEM fuse rated at 500 mA and 250 VAC and designed for operation over a wide temperature range. Devices of this type can protect a power input or a selected electrical branch in compact equipment.
When selecting a fuse, consider rated current, working voltage, time-current characteristic, breaking capacity, ambient temperature, mounting method and inrush currents present in the protected circuit.
