**Littelfuse** · Disposable Fuses · 1206

0440003.WR from Littelfuse, in a 1206. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

## Pinout

| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | passive | Fuse termination (Ag/Ni/Sn) on one end of the ceramic body; the 3 A (amp code 003.) part is rated 32 V with 50 A @ 32 V AC/DC interrupting rating, and the element is not polarized. |
| 2 | 2 | passive | Fuse termination (Ag/Ni/Sn) on the opposite end of the ceramic body; the 3 A (amp code 003.) part has 0.02252 ohm nominal resistance and 0.0742 V nominal drop at rated current. |
