Overview

The Littelfuse 218 SLO-BLO 5A glass body cartridge fuse (SKU: H218005P) is a critical component for robust overcurrent protection in a wide array of industrial and commercial electronic systems. Engineered to meet stringent international standards, this fuse is designed for applications demanding reliable and precise circuit interruption. Its adherence to IEC 60127-2, Sheet 3 specifications for time-lag fuses ensures it can effectively handle transient surges without nuisance tripping, while still providing essential protection against sustained overloads and short circuits. Constructed with a durable glass body, the 218 SLO-BLO fuse offers excellent visibility of the fuse element, facilitating quick visual inspection. This material choice also contributes to its stability and performance across varying environmental conditions. The 5x20mm cartridge form factor is a globally recognized standard, making it compatible with a vast range of fuse holders and equipment designs. This fuse is specifically categorized as a time-lag (or slow-blow) type, meaning it is designed to tolerate temporary inrush currents, such as those experienced during motor startup or power supply activation, without blowing. However, it will reliably interrupt the circuit under prolonged fault conditions, safeguarding sensitive downstream components and preventing potential damage or fire hazards. Littelfuse, a recognized leader in circuit protection, ensures that the 218 SLO-BLO series upholds the highest quality and reliability standards. This particular 5A rated fuse is ideal for protecting circuits with moderate current requirements. Its global compliance, including RoHS certification and lead-free construction, makes it suitable for export markets and environmentally conscious manufacturing processes. The availability in both cartridge and axial lead forms provides design flexibility, allowing engineers to select the most appropriate mounting method for their specific application, whether it's direct insertion into a PCB or use within a fuse holder. Key features and benefits of the Littelfuse 218 SLO-BLO 5A fuse include: * **IEC 60127-2, Sheet 3 Compliance:** Guarantees performance according to international time-lag fuse standards. * **Time-Lag (Slo-Blo) Characteristic:** Protects against transient surges while ensuring protection against sustained overcurrents. * **Durable Glass Body Construction:** Offers visual inspection capability and robust performance. * **5x20mm Standard Cartridge Size:** Ensures broad compatibility with existing fuse holders and equipment. * **5A Current Rating:** Suitable for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. * **RoHS Compliant & Lead-Free:** Meets environmental regulations for global use. * **Versatile Form Factors:** Available in cartridge and axial lead options for varied mounting needs. This fuse is an excellent choice for applications such as power supplies, motor control circuits, industrial automation equipment, test and measurement instruments, and general electronic equipment where reliable, time-lag overcurrent protection is paramount. Choosing Littelfuse means investing in proven circuit protection technology from a trusted manufacturer.
