Fusible Resistors
(FRN, FKN, FSQ)Fusible Resistor Features Best of Both Worlds Preview
Designers of small power supplies and battery chargers for consumer products can benefit from a fusible resistor with superior lightning strike and pulse abilities in a cost effective package.
Token Electronics offers a combination resistor/fuses series of metal/carbon film fusbile resistor (FRN), wirewound fusbile resistor (FKN) and cement encased fusbile resistors (FSQ). Token offers fusbile FRN series a low-cost alternative to traditional solutions for applications that require surge protection.
The robust cement-coated wire-wound FSQ resistors and wirewound fusbile FKN resistors are ideal for power supply applications across the telecomms, military and industrial markets which require a replacement for carbon composition resistors within the circuit design.
As part of the Token input protection range, this resistor provides a key fusible solution and is completely customisable to suit the individual application design requirements. Key design engineers with a need for a robust resistor, will find the FRN, FKN and FSQ series are a multifaceted product, providing comparable pulse performance with added fusing capabilities.
Our custom solutions are designed to address your need for technical and economic success in a timely manner.

FRN, FKN, FSQ - Application Notes
For fusible resistors, unlike fuses, fusing performance is given in terms of power rather than current.
The power can be calculated:
Power = Amperes 2 × Ohms
Fusing Device Application Notes
- When using, it shall be made sure that the overload conditions at unusual moments lie within the fusing territory.
- Consult with Token in advance when overloaded higher than the rated voltage under an ordinary situation since such an overload may store up damages on resistors.
- Use at the maximum open-circuit voltage or lower as an arc phenomenon may arise when high voltage is applied again after fusing by an over current.
- Consult with us for the maximum open- circuit voltage because it varies with applications.
