S506-63-R, Eaton 63mA 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, 6.96Ω Resistance, 250V AC Voltage Rating - S506 Series - S506-63-R

Keep your circuits fighting fit and ready for action with this cartridge fuse from Eaton. When short circuits and overcurrents take place, it's on hand to save the day by taking the damage and extending your equipment's lifespan. With a 63mA current rating, the fuse is best suited to low-current applications. Thanks to its T fuse speed, it has a slow break operation, which provides wiggle room for devices that need a small inrush of current to start, like electric motors.

• Glass tube for easy monitoring and quick replacement when the fuse blows
• Easy mounting on a clip or holder doesn't need tools, saving time and effort
• Compact dimensions of 5 (D) x 20mm (L) for space-efficient installation in confined setups
• Breaking capacity of 35A at a maximum voltage rating to handle surges without exploding

Can I use an AC-rated fuse for a DC circuit?

No, you can't. If a fuse is specifically designed for AC circuits, you mustn't use it on DC networks as it won't do a proper job.

How do I maintain this fuse?

Unless it blows, this unit needs minimal maintenance. Always ensure that its mounting clip or fuse holder is free from dust or debris to achieve a reliable connection.
