SCHURTER releases UHP high-current SMD fuse for humanoids - The Robot Report

SCHURTER, a Swiss technology components provider, has introduced the UHP high-current SMD fuse specifically designed for humanoid robots. This ultra-compact fuse protects critical battery systems and power electronics in space-constrained robotic platforms, ensuring stable and safe power delivery to components such as robotic limbs and embedded AI processors. With a rated current up to 100 A, breaking capacity up to 3000 A, and a wide operating temperature range (-55°C to +125°C), the UHP fuse supports high-density power architectures and is optimized for automated assembly, aligning with modern robot manufacturing processes. It is UL-listed, RoHS-compliant, and available in tape-and-reel packaging. The release of the UHP fuse comes amid growing commercial deployments and interest in humanoid robots from major companies like Hyundai, GXO, Schaeffler AG, and Figure AI, signaling a shift toward scaling production to meet increasing demand. Currently, many developers produce robot components in-house, but the availability of
