Fuses to protect batteries

[Henri]

What parameters should I use to source the correct fuse / circuit breaker to protect the batteries in my RC conversions?

I cannot seem to find the correct ones. Or they are quite expensive (5 - 10 Euro apiece?! Really)

Amps: 1,25 - 1,5
Voltage: does it matter?
Automatic: yes please

1.25A, 250V
1.25A, 250V different housing

A source in the Netherlands would be highly preferred. For example at Conrad.nl

THANKS!!

Hi Henry most of use poltswitches, which I think are called radial resettable fuse in the netherlands.
A search found a place called" distrelec" in the netherlands ?. They sell them ,look to be around half to a euro each.
The voltage is the max rating, so use a voltage higher than you use , say around 30-50v is what I have used. Going too high just wastes money.
Hope that helps
I use 2-3 Amp rating.

Try Tme.eu

I would not go above 30V (16V is better if you can get the value you want).
2A maximum, or 1.1A if you are using the MR601.

PhilP.

Found them. Had to buy 20 at once, so I'll have sufficient stock for the near future...
30V, 1.6A
