**POWR-GARD[®] Fuse Datasheet** ## KLKD ~~SE~~ RIES ~~10x~~ 38 FU ~~SES~~ ## 600 Vac/dc •[1] /10-30 A • Fast Acting ## **Specifications** ## **Description** The KLKD fuse series is fast-acting with a high DC voltage rating. This family of Midget style fuses (10 x 38 mm) is used in solar combiner boxes and in circuits with DC fault currents up to 50,000 amperes. KLKD fuses are available in standard and board-mount configurations. In addition, the KLKD series has been designed to meet both the UL and IEC photovoltaic fuse standards. Littelfuse offers a wide range of ampere ratings to match specific requirements in a variety of applications. ## **Features/Benefits** - Designed to UL and IEC photovoltaic specifications - 1/10 - 30 A ratings available - 50,000 A Interrupting Rating - Available in ferrule or PCB mount options **Voltage Rating:** 600 Vac/Vdc **Amperage Rating:**[1] /10,[1] /8,[2] /10,[1] /4,[3] /10,[1] /2,[3] /4, 1, 1[1] /2, 2, 2[1] /2, 3, 3[1] /2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 30 **Interrupting Ratings:** AC: 100 kA 200 kA Littelfuse self-certified DC:[1] /10-30: 10 kA (UL 248-19) 1/10-30: 50 kA (UL 248-14) **Material:** Body: Melamine / Caps: Copper Alloy **Operating Temperature:** See Rerating Curve **Approvals:** UL 248-19 Listed (File: E339112) IEC 60269-6 (2-25 A) VDE Certified (No. 40033094) UL 248-14 Listed (File: E10480) CSA Certified Ferrule only (File: LR29862) **Environmental:** RoHS Compliant **Country of Origin:** Mexico ##

Updated at April 17, 2026
Founded in 1927 and headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, Littelfuse is a premier global manufacturer of circuit protection, power control, and sensing technologies. Widely recognized for pioneering the first small, fast-acting protective fuse, the company has grown into an industry leader whose highly reliable components are essential to modern industrial, transportation, and consumer electronics applications worldwide. At the core of the Littelfuse portfolio is an expansive and industry-leading range of circuit protection solutions. This encompasses a massive selection of traditional fuses, fuse holders, and resettable PTC thermistor fuses designed to safely interrupt overcurrent conditions. To defend against electrical overstress, Littelfuse also provides advanced transient voltage suppression (TVS) technologies, including thousands of specialized TVS diodes, TVS varistors, and gas discharge tubes (GDTs) that ensure robust defense against voltage spikes and environmental hazards. Beyond its foundational protection components, Littelfuse manufactures a diverse array of discrete semiconductors, sensors, and switching devices. Engineers rely on their high-performance thyristors, including TRIACs and SCRs, alongside power-efficient Schottky diodes and MOSFETs for demanding power control applications. Complemented by precision proximity sensors and highly reliable reed and solid-state relays, Littelfuse delivers the critical building blocks required for secure, efficient, and complete system design.
About Novapart
Novapart is a B2B electronic component broker specialising in stock shortages and cost reduction. We source hard-to-find parts and identify compliant alternatives across a catalogue of 410,000+ components from 500+ manufacturers.
Learn more →Stock Shortage Specialist
When a component is unavailable, discontinued or has an unacceptable lead time, we tap into our network of vetted European and Asian distributors to source what you need — without compromising on quality or traceability.
Request a quote →Compliant Alternatives
We identify pin-to-pin, electrically equivalent substitutes that meet the same certifications (RoHS, AEC-Q100, REACH) as your original specification — validated against datasheets, not just part numbers. Often at a lower cost.
