S506-1.6-R, Eaton 1.6A T Glass Cartridge Fuse, 5 x 20mm, Предохранитель

Eaton Bussmann Anti Surge (T) LBC Cartridge Fuses - Glass Bodied 5x20 mm

This range of glass cartridge fuses from Eaton Bussmann is ideal for providing protection to devices or internal circuits from short circuits and overcurrent. They are deliberately weaker components which, when too much current is drawn, will blow. Once the fuse has blown it will need replacing in order to make the circuit complete and allow the flow of current.

Why choose a glass cartridge fuse?

Glass and ceramic fuses have similar properties. However, you may choose a glass cartridge fuse as it enables you to see the inside of the fuse. Therefore it is easier to determine whether the fuse has blown.

What size is it?

5 mm x 20 mm is a standard cartridge size and it measures approximately 20 mm long by 5 mm in diameter. They are popular in board and panel protection and will fit a compatible 5 x 20 mm fuse holder.

What voltage is it?

These cartridge fuses are available with 40mA to 15 Amp current ratings for applications where the system voltage rating is 250 Volts AC.

What Speed is it?

This particular cartridge fuse is “T” speed rated which means it is a slow-acting fuse, sometimes referred to as anti-surge. It is able to tolerate higher levels for a short period, without shorting. Therefore, if a sudden change occurs, this fuse will not blow immediately. They are suitable for applications where a sudden flow of high current is required.

What is Breaking Capacity?

Breaking capacity is the level of current that the fuse can safely handle without exploding or rupturing. The breaking capacity of your fuse should be greater than the fault current of your electronic circuit. This particular cartridge fuse is LBC (Low Breaking Capacity).

What are cartridge fuses used for?

• For the protection of components and equipment from costly damage used by over-current
• To isolate sub-systems from the main system once a fault has appeared

Eaton Cartridge Fuse, 35A Interrupting Rating, Nickel-Plated Brass Endcap - S506 Series - S506-1.6-R

Don't let electrical faults catch you unawares – protect your circuits with this Eaton cartridge fuse. It works by taking the heat of short circuits and overcurrents before they get to your appliances, preventing damage and supporting a longer operating life. The unit has a glass body, so you can peep inside, see when it's blown and replace it pronto. Because of its simple construction, you don't need any tools to install it – just latch it onto a fuse holder or clip to protect small devices like electric motors.

• Nickel-plated brass endcaps achieve a reliable connection
• T fuse speed to accommodate minimal inrushes during equipment startup
• Voltage rating of 250V AC for use in low-voltage applications
• Breaking capacity of 35A to handle inrush currents without arcing

Is this cartridge fuse space-efficient?

Yes – with a compact diameter of 5mm and a length of 20mm, this unit will fit into small spaces.

Why does my fuse keep blowing?

If you notice that your fuse keeps blowing on a particular appliance, check a couple of things first. Does its current rating match that of your equipment? Are there any damaged wires?
