The Littelfuse C142844 is a 1.6A ceramic tube fuse designed for overcurrent protection in low-voltage circuits, offering compact D5.8xL22.5mm dimensions and ROHS compliance. It is suitable for consumer electronics and automotive applications with proper thermal management, requiring soldering at 300-350°C and storage below 30°C. Alternative models must match current/voltage ratings and package dimensions, while design considerations include 5mm layout clearances and 0.5W heat sinking. Market strengths include reliability and compactness, though limited to low-voltage use cases.
