  • Automotive and electronic fuses
  • Resettable PTC type fuses
  • Industrial fuses
  • Panel-mounted, Inline, and PCB mounted fuse holders
  • Fuse clips and blocks
  • Thermal circuit breakers for automotive and line voltage applications
  • Thermal temperature fuses

Fuses are safety devices used in electrical and electronic circuits to protect against overcurrent and prevent damage to equipment, fires, and electrical hazards. They work by interrupting the flow of electrical current when it exceeds a specified limit. OptiFuse is a manufacturer and marketer of over-current and over-voltage protective devices.
