Space and High-Reliability Fuses

AEM is the only Qualified Product List (QPL) certified manufacturer of solid body, current-limiting fuses using a thick film technique specifically for the aerospace industry. These fuses have been selected by most major space programs and have been operational in orbit for over 30 years with a perfect record of zero reported failures.

AEM Inc.'s Hi-Rel fuses, including models P600L, SK406, FM12, and P700L, are classified under EAR99 according to the U.S. Department of Commerce regulations. For other fuse model classifications, please consult with the factory. EAR99 items generally do not require an export license (NLR) for most end users. However, certain countries and end users may require a license, as specified in EAR part 736. Additionally, a license might be necessary if the items are intended for use in the design, development, production, or utilization of nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons, or ballistic missiles.

AEM’s P600L and SK406 (commercial) and FM12 (QPL) series components are no longer subject to International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), making them available for a broad range of global mission-critical applications. AEM’s record of 30 years without defects is unmatched in the industry.

AEM, Inc. is a leading player in the circuit protection market for Aerospace & Defense applications, known for its Hi-Rel Fuses and Hi-Rel Ferrite Chips. As the only QPL-listed manufacturer of solid body, current-limiting fuses using a thick film technique for the aerospace industry, AEM's products have been selected by most major space programs and have been in orbit for over 30 years without a single reported failure. The company also specializes in Sn-Pb conversion and component up-screening for MIL and space applications, including DPA and Group A, B, C testing. More information is available at AEM's website.

AEM's Hi-Rel fuse line is designed for use in environments like space, where component replacement costs are prohibitive, and reliability is crucial. For applications where failure is not an option, AEM offers high-performance switching solutions that meet the stringent requirements of aerospace applications. These fuses are specifically designed for space use and undergo rigorous testing and screening to ensure optimal performance.

AEM provides solutions and services to the Aerospace, Defense, and other high-reliability ("Hi-Rel") industries, which demand the highest quality levels for circuit protection, EMI signal filtering, and Sn/Pb conversion applications. The company's Hi-Rel Fuses, as a principal offering, are produced using a unique thick film technique, ensuring their suitability for the most demanding aerospace environments.
