Eaton 2.5A 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 Glass Cartridge Fuse, 5mm Diameter, 2.5A - Eaton Series - S506-2.5-R

This general-purpose cartridge fuse from the Eaton range provides effective protection from overcurrents and short circuits. It has a filament that melts to cut the current to a circuit if a fault occurs. As its body is made of glass, you can quickly see when it's broken and needs changing. This unit's rating of 250V AC (alternating current) makes it suitable for low-voltage applications. Its low breaking capacity of 35A also means it's a good fit for appliances prone to damage from slight surges in voltage, including connection cables and low-power circuits.

Features & Benefits

• Compact dimensions of 5 (diameter) x 20mm (length) for use in small enclosures
• T-speed fuse for tolerance to slight surges in voltage
• Nickel-plated brass end caps offer enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Simple tool-free installation on fuse holder

What do I do when this fuse blows?

As it's a sacrificial component, when this fuse's filament blows, you should replace it to continue using the circuit.

What's the difference between a fuse and a circuit breaker?

The main difference between a fuse and a circuit breaker is that you can't reuse a fuse but you can reset a circuit breaker to use it multiple times.
