Product details

SMD footprint and integration

The 04513.15MRSN is a Littelfuse NANO²® 451 series SMD fuse in a 2-SMD square end block package measuring 6.10 mm x 2.69 mm x 2.69 mm (0.240" x 0.106" x 0.106"). The surface-mount footprint is a standard two-pad layout; the square end caps take reflow solder without a separate clip or holder.

Rated current, voltage, and the so-what on interrupting capacity

Rated 3.15 A at 125 VAC with a 50 A interrupting capacity at rated voltage. The 50 A breaking capacity is the maximum fault current the fuse can safely clear without rupturing the package — a figure that matters when the secondary-side fault current from a 150 VA transformer can exceed 10 A. The fast-blow response time means it opens quickly on overcurrents above roughly 200% of rating, which suits circuits where the inrush is low (logic supplies, sensor rails) and a slow-blow element would let a sustained fault damage the board trace.

Melting I²t and cold resistance — the pre-arcing energy budget

The melting I²t is 1.92 A²s, a figure the PCB designer uses to size the copper trace that feeds the fuse pad: a trace carrying 3.15 A for the fuse's pre-arcing time must not vaporise before the fuse element opens. The 0.0215 Ohm cold resistance is the starting value; resistance rises with temperature as the element heats toward the melting point, so the voltage drop under a sustained overload is higher than the 68 mV calc at rated current.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to 04513.15MRSN in the NANO² 451 family?

The NANO² 451 family includes multiple current ratings in the same 2-SMD square end block package and footprint. A direct pin-compatible alternative at a different current rating would be another 451 series fuse (e.g., 0451.xxxMRSN). There is no single 'closest' alternative; the right current rating for the protection target drives the selection.

What compliance documentation does Littelfuse provide for 04513.15MRSN?

The fuse carries CSA, METI, and UR agency approvals. Littelfuse typically provides RoHS and REACH compliance declarations for the NANO² 451 series through its product documentation portal. The specific documentation set is confirmed at the time of order against the BOM line.
