Description:
Glass fuses are essential safety devices designed to protect electrical circuits from overcurrent damage. These small, transparent tubes contain a thin wire that melts and breaks the circuit when excessive current flows through it. This prevents damage to valuable equipment and reduces the risk of fire.
Key Features:
- Current Rating: 10 Amps - This indicates the maximum current the fuse can safely carry before it blows.
- Voltage Rating: 250 Volts - This specifies the maximum voltage the fuse can handle in the circuit.
- Size: 5mm x 20mm - This refers to the diameter (5mm) and length (20mm) of the fuse tube.
- Type: Glass Tube - The glass housing allows for visual inspection of the fuse element.
- Fast-Acting: These fuses are designed to react quickly to overcurrent situations, providing rapid protection.
- Pack of 5: This pack contains 5 fuses, providing spares for future use.
Applications:
- Consumer Electronics: TVs, stereos, DVD players, and other home entertainment equipment.
- Household Appliances: Lamps, fans, small kitchen appliances.
- Industrial Equipment: Power supplies, testing equipment, and other industrial electronics.
- Automotive: Some automotive applications may use this type of fuse.
Specifications:
- Material: Glass tube with metal end caps
- Fuse Element: Thin wire designed to melt at 10 Amps
- Breaking Capacity: Low breaking capacity - suitable for circuits with relatively low fault currents.
- Operating Temperature: Typically -40°C to +85°C
- Standards: Compliant with relevant safety standards (e.g., UL, CSA)
