Overview

The Littelfuse 215 Series SLO-BLO Ceramic Cartridge Fuse, SKU 0215016.MXP, represents a robust and reliable solution for critical circuit protection in a wide array of industrial and consumer electronic applications. Engineered with a high-quality ceramic body, this 5x20mm fuse is designed for time-lag (slow-blow) operation, providing essential protection against overcurrents and short circuits without nuisance tripping under normal operating conditions. Its 16A current rating and 250VAC voltage rating make it suitable for demanding applications where consistent and dependable performance is paramount. The 215 Series distinguishes itself with its extended current rating capabilities, offering designers greater flexibility. While traditional fuses may cap out at lower amperages, this series extends up to 25A in cartridge form, with specific models like the 16A version providing enhanced design options for high-current circuits. This is particularly beneficial for applications that experience transient inrush currents but require protection against sustained overloads. The remarkable interrupting capability of the 215 Series at its rated 250VAC ensures that it can safely interrupt fault currents, preventing damage to sensitive equipment and mitigating potential safety hazards. Key features and benefits of the Littelfuse 215 Series include: * **High Ampere Ratings:** Extended current ratings up to 25A offer greater design flexibility for high-current applications. * **Remarkable Interrupting Capacity:** Ensures safe and reliable interruption of fault currents at 250VAC. * **Compact 5x20mm Footprint:** Provides a smaller form factor compared to larger 6.3x32mm fuses, allowing for denser circuit board designs and space savings. * **Ceramic Body Construction:** Offers superior thermal and electrical insulation properties, contributing to the fuse's durability and performance under stress. * **Time-Lag (SLO-BLO) Operation:** Designed to withstand temporary inrush currents while still protecting against sustained overloads, ideal for motor-driven equipment and power supplies. * **UL Agency Approval:** Guarantees adherence to stringent safety and performance standards, providing peace of mind for integrators and end-users. This fuse is an excellent choice for primary and secondary protection in various sectors. Its applications span across the white goods industry, safeguarding appliances like washing machines, refrigerators, and ovens. It is also critical for Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems and power supplies, ensuring the integrity of backup power and power conversion circuits. Furthermore, its suitability for general high-current applications makes it a versatile component in industrial control panels, automation systems, and specialized electronic equipment. The Littelfuse brand is synonymous with quality and reliability in circuit protection, and the 215 Series exemplifies this commitment by delivering precise and durable protection for critical electrical systems.
