Surface mount fuse

21A (compact) SFJ series Self Control Protector (SCP)

Suitable for lithium-ion batteries in smartphones, laptops, etc.

  • Product name
    SFJ-0421A
  • Features
    • The world's thinnest *1, with a low profile of 0.58mm, is suitable for devices that require a compact and thin design.
    • Protects Li-ion batteries from overcharging (overvoltage) and overcurrent.
    • When overcharging occurs, the fuse element melts to shut off the circuit, and simultaneously the power to the heater is also cut off.
    • Placing a heater directly under the fuse element breaks the circuit quickly.
    • This is a Pb-free *2product.
      *1The world's thinnest Surface mount fuse for secondary protection of lithium-ion batteries (as of January 5, 2026, according to our research).
      *2 The European RoHS Directive, which restricts the use of hazardous substances, defines Pb-free as a Pb content of 1,000 ppm or less.
