Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Littelfuse KLKR-9?
The Littelfuse KLKR-9 is a 9 A Class CC fast-acting, current-limiting cartridge fuse in the POWR-GARD KLKR series. It is intended for general-purpose branch circuit protection and compatible industrial equipment requiring fast overload response.
What is the manufacturer catalog number?
The manufacturer catalog number is KLKR009. The product marking is KLKR 9A, and KLKR009.T is the manufacturer ordering number for a 10-piece pack.
What is the current rating?
The rated current is 9 amperes, equivalent to 9000 milliamperes.
What are the voltage ratings?
The KLKR series is rated for 600 VAC and 300 VDC. Select the appropriate rating according to the circuit type and operating voltage.
What are the interrupting ratings?
The series has an AC interrupting rating of 200 kA RMS symmetrical and a DC interrupting rating of 20 kA. The manufacturer identifies the DC rating as self-certified.
Is KLKR-9 fast-acting or time-delay?
KLKR-9 is a fast-acting fuse. The KLDR series has time-delay characteristics, so the two series should not be treated as interchangeable solely because their current ratings match.
Can KLKR-9 replace KLDR-9?
Not automatically. Although both are Class CC fuses with a 9 A current rating, KLKR is fast-acting while KLDR is time-delay. Confirm circuit requirements, startup current, protective coordination and manufacturer recommendations before choosing a replacement.
What are the physical dimensions?
The nominal cartridge dimensions are 10.3 mm in diameter and 38.1 mm in length, approximately 0.406 x 1.500 inches. Confirm that the existing fuse holder supports the Class CC format and required electrical ratings.
Which equipment can use KLKR-9?
The KLKR series is intended for general-purpose branch circuit protection and is commonly specified for compatible OEM equipment, industrial control panels and electronic circuits requiring fast-acting protection. Confirm that the 9 A rating meets the equipment and circuit requirements.
Does the manufacturer publish a specific I²t value for KLKR-9?
The Littelfuse KLKR datasheet provides numerical total clearing I²t values for selected current ratings but does not list a separate numerical value for KLKR009.T in its electrical specifications table. Values from other current ratings should not be substituted for the 9 A model.
Which fuse holders are compatible?
Littelfuse lists the L60030C and LPSC/LFPSC Touch-Safe holder series as accessories. Verify Class CC compatibility, operating voltage, interrupting capacity and the requirements of the electrical installation before use.
Does the KLKR series have UL and CSA certifications?
The Littelfuse datasheet identifies UL Listing under file E81895 and CSA Certification under file LR29862. The series documentation also identifies RoHS compliance and Declaration of Conformity KLKR_210128_1.
What should be checked before ordering KLKR-9?
Confirm the KLKR-9 model designation, manufacturer catalog number KLKR009, 9 A current rating, 600 VAC or 300 VDC circuit requirement, fast-acting characteristic, interrupting capacity, compatible Class CC fuse holder and required pack quantity. KLKR009.T is the manufacturer's 10-piece ordering number; confirm the actual selling quantity separately.
