2A Axial Fuse

Description:

• An axial fuse is a type of electrical fuse with leads extending from each end of its cylindrical body, making it suitable for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards (PCBs) or for in-line wiring.   
• The "2A" rating specifies the fuse's current capacity. When the current flowing through the fuse exceeds 2 amperes, the internal element will melt, interrupting the circuit.   
• These fuses commonly come with a voltage rating, such as 250V, indicating the maximum voltage the fuse can safely handle.   
• They are often made with a glass or ceramic body, allowing for visual inspection of the fuse element.   

Key Features:

• Overcurrent Protection:
  • Provides reliable protection against excessive current, preventing damage to electronic components and reducing the risk of fire.   
• Axial Leads:
  • Facilitates easy installation in through-hole applications.
• Variety of Sizes and Materials:
  • Available in various physical dimensions (e.g., 3x10mm, 5x20mm) and materials (glass, ceramic) to suit different applications.
• Voltage Rating:
  • Designed to operate within a specified voltage range.
• Fast-Acting or Slow-Blow:
  • Available in different operating characteristics to match the specific needs of the circuit. Fast-acting fuses blow quickly, while slow-blow fuses allow for temporary surges.   

Applications:

• Consumer Electronics:
  • Protecting devices like televisions, stereos, and power supplies.
• Industrial Equipment:
  • Safeguarding machinery and control systems.   
• Automotive Electronics:
  • Protecting electrical circuits in vehicles.
• Power Supplies:
  • Ensuring the safety of power supply units.
• Lighting Circuits:
  • Protecting lighting equipment.  
• DIY Electronics Projects:
  • Protecting home made electronic devices.
