First, hello Fides and thanks for this website !
Do the fuses and/or protection devices are taken into account ? If not, can it be expected ?
More generally, could it be possible to know components that are envisaged to be added in a close future ?

Currently i don′t know what kind of device will be added (my informations on subject are to old), you must have to get the information from a consortium member.

Dear all,
Concerning the fuses, following the repeated requests for a fuse model, the FIDES Group has decided to make his best effort to include a fuse model in the next issue of the FIDES Guide (planned in 2008). That will not be be an imposing model, but it will help out.
Nevertheless, I woul like to quote a famous document (guess wich!) about fuses reliability:: "The reliability of fuses presents a unique problem: Unlike most other components, there is very little correlation between the number of fuse replacements and actual fuse failures. Generally, when a fuse opens, or "blows", something else in the circuit has created an overload condition and the fuse is simply functionning as designed."
We allready have built new models for :
- DC/DC converters.
- ASICs (an adaptation of the IC′ model)
- High stability, precision, metal foil resistors
And we are working on, for example:
- Power supply (as a COTS sub assembly).
- Hybrid, MCM.
- Switches, contactors.
