Description:
8 Amp 250V Glass Fuses are essential safety devices designed to protect electrical circuits from overcurrent or short circuits. These fuses are constructed with a glass tube housing a thin wire or element that melts when excessive current flows through it, interrupting the circuit and preventing damage to equipment or even fire hazards. The 5x20mm size is a common standard, and they are widely used in various electronic devices and appliances.
Key Features:
- Rated Current: 8 Amps
- Rated Voltage: 250 Volts
- Glass Tube Housing: Allows visual inspection of the fuse element. If the wire is broken, the fuse has blown.
- 5x20mm Size: Standard size, easy to replace, and widely available.
- Fast-Acting: These fuses are designed to blow quickly in case of a significant overcurrent.
- Pack of 10: Convenient packaging for replacements and spares.
Applications:
- Household Appliances: Protection for devices like TVs, stereos, lamps, and other electronics.
- Industrial Equipment: Protection for machinery, power supplies, and control systems.
- Automotive Electronics: Protection for various electronic circuits in vehicles.
- DIY Projects: Use in electronic projects to protect circuits from overcurrent.
- Electrical Panels: Can be used in some electrical panels for circuit protection.
