Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Littelfuse KLKR-1/10?
It is a 0.1 A (100 mA) Class CC fast-acting, current-limiting cartridge fuse from the Littelfuse POWR-GARD KLKR series, designed for general-purpose branch circuit protection and applications requiring fast overload response.
What is the manufacturer catalog number?
The manufacturer catalog number is KLKR.100, and the product marking is KLKR 1/10 A. The manufacturer lists KLKR.100T as the ordering number for a 10-piece pack.
What is the current rating of KLKR-1/10?
The current rating is 0.1 ampere, equivalent to 100 milliamperes or one-tenth of an ampere.
What are the AC and DC voltage ratings?
Littelfuse specifies a maximum voltage rating of 600 VAC and 300 VDC for the KLKR series. The selected fuse must be suitable for the applicable operating voltage.
What are the interrupting ratings?
The AC interrupting rating is 200,000 amperes RMS symmetrical, and the DC interrupting rating is 20,000 amperes. Littelfuse identifies the DC rating as self-certified.
Is KLKR-1/10 fast-acting or time-delay?
KLKR-1/10 is a fast-acting fuse. It belongs to the KLKR series, which is intended for fast overload response. The KLDR series has a different time-delay characteristic and should not be treated as an electrically identical replacement.
Can KLKR-1/10 replace a KLDR-1/10 fuse?
Not automatically. Although both belong to the Class CC family and have the same nominal current and voltage ratings, KLKR is fast-acting while KLDR is time-delay. A replacement must match the circuit protection design, including overload response and inrush-current requirements.
Is KLKR-1/10 suitable for solid-state electrical equipment?
Littelfuse identifies solid-state components among the applications for the KLKR series. However, fuse suitability for a specific electronic device must be checked against its required protection characteristics, manufacturer recommendations and relevant time-current data.
What are the physical dimensions and construction materials?
The nominal cartridge dimensions are 10.3 mm in diameter and 38.1 mm in length. The KLKR series features a melamine body and nickel-plated bronze end caps. Littelfuse specifies a series weight of 13.61 g for the 0.1 A through 1 A ratings.
Which fuse holders are recommended?
Littelfuse lists the L60030C and LPSC/LFPSC Touch-Safe series as recommended accessories. Confirm the selected holder has the required Class CC compatibility, voltage rating and electrical capacity.
Is KLKR-1/10 UL listed and RoHS compliant?
The KLKR series is UL Listed under file E81895 and CSA Certified under file LR29862. The manufacturer also identifies RoHS compliance and references CE Declaration of Conformity KLKR_210128_1. The DC interrupting rating is separately manufacturer self-certified.
What should be verified before ordering KLKR-1/10?
Confirm the KLKR-1/10 or KLKR.100 designation, 100 mA current rating, 600 VAC or 300 VDC operating requirement, fast-acting characteristics, interrupting capacity and Class CC fuse-holder compatibility. Littelfuse lists ordering number KLKR.100T for a manufacturer 10-piece pack; this does not establish the quantity supplied by an individual store listing.
