Description:
These are small, cylindrical fuses designed to protect electrical circuits from overcurrent. They consist of a glass tube enclosing a thin wire filament. When the current exceeds the fuse's rating (20 Amps in this case), the filament melts, breaking the circuit and preventing damage to connected devices. This pack contains 10 fuses.
Key Features:
- Overcurrent Protection: Blows (melts) when the current exceeds 20A, safeguarding circuits.
- 250V AC Rating: Designed for circuits up to 250 Volts AC. Do not use in higher voltage circuits.
- 5x20mm Size: Standard glass fuse size, 5mm in diameter and 20mm in length. Ensures compatibility with fuse holders designed for this size.
- Glass Tube: Allows visual inspection of the filament. A blown fuse will have a visible break in the wire.
- Pack of 10: Convenient quantity for replacements and spares.
- Fast Acting (Typically): These are usually fast-acting fuses, meaning they blow quickly to protect against sudden overcurrent surges. However, confirm this with the specific product listing, as some slow-blow versions exist.
Applications:
- Electronics: Protecting sensitive electronic components in devices like TVs, stereos, computers, and other appliances.
- Electrical Circuits: General circuit protection in various electrical equipment.
- Automotive (Limited): While 5x20mm fuses are more common in electronics, they might be found in some older automotive applications. However, automotive fuses are typically different sizes and types.
- DIY Projects: Used by hobbyists and makers for protecting their electronic projects.
