Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Littelfuse KLKR-1?
It is a 1 A Class CC fast-acting, current-limiting cartridge fuse from the Littelfuse POWR-GARD KLKR series, intended for general-purpose branch circuit protection and applications requiring fast overload response.
What is the manufacturer catalog number?
The manufacturer catalog number is KLKR001. The product marking is KLKR 1A, and Littelfuse lists KLKR001.T as the manufacturer ordering number for a 10-piece pack.
What is the current rating of KLKR-1?
The current rating is 1 ampere, equivalent to 1000 milliamperes.
What are the AC and DC voltage ratings?
Littelfuse specifies 600 VAC and 300 VDC. The circuit operating voltage must remain within the applicable AC or DC rating.
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 fast-acting or time-delay?
KLKR-1 is a fast-acting fuse. It belongs to the KLKR series, which provides fast overload response. The KLDR series has a different time-delay characteristic and is not automatically interchangeable.
Can KLKR-1 replace a KLDR-1 fuse?
Not automatically. Although both are Class CC fuses rated at 1 A, KLKR is fast-acting while KLDR is time-delay. Replacement suitability depends on the circuit design, expected inrush current and required overcurrent response.
What is the total clearing I²t value for KLKR-1?
The manufacturer specifies a total clearing I²t of 80 A²s for ordering number KLKR001.T under its 200 kA test condition. This value applies specifically to the 1 A rating and should not be substituted with data from other KLKR models.
What is the power loss of KLKR-1?
Littelfuse specifies 0.38 W at 100% of rated current and 0.20 W at 80% of rated current. Actual operating conditions must be considered when evaluating heat dissipation in an enclosure or fuse holder.
What are the physical dimensions and construction materials?
The nominal dimensions are 10.3 mm in diameter and 38.1 mm in length. The KLKR series features a melamine body with nickel-plated bronze end caps. Littelfuse specifies a 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 holder series as accessories. Confirm the selected holder has the required Class CC compatibility, voltage rating and electrical capacity before installation.
Is KLKR-1 UL listed and RoHS compliant?
The KLKR series is UL Listed under file E81895 and CSA Certified under file LR29862. Littelfuse 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?
Confirm the KLKR-1 or KLKR001 designation, 1 A current rating, applicable 600 VAC or 300 VDC circuit requirement, fast-acting characteristic, interrupting capacity, Class CC fuse holder compatibility and desired purchase quantity. Littelfuse lists KLKR001.T for a manufacturer 10-piece pack; this does not establish the quantity supplied by an individual store listing.
