Overview

The Mersen 20325R is a Class R fuse block designed for 250VAC/250VDC applications, rated at 30 Amps. This specific model features a pressure plate connector type and a spring-reinforced clip for secure and reliable fuse contact. Manufactured by Mersen, a trusted name in electrical protection, this fuse block is built with high conductivity tin-plated copper for its clips, ensuring excellent electrical performance. The insulator material is molded glass-filled polycarbonate (GFPC), offering verified dielectric strength exceeding 2500V for enhanced safety. This fuse block is compatible with Class R fuses and is designed to accommodate a wide range of copper wires, with a wire range of #10-14 AWG for the pressure plate connector. It is specifically designed with the same coefficient of expansion as copper wire for improved heat cycling and meets or exceeds OEM “no aluminum” specifications. The 30A fuse blocks, including this model, can utilize an adder block (sold separately) to create multi-pole configurations, allowing for flexible system design. The Mersen 20325R is UL listed (guide IZLT, File E52283) and CSA certified (class 6225, File 32169), meeting the requirements of UL 4248. Its robust construction and adherence to safety standards make it a reliable choice for industrial and commercial electrical systems requiring Class R fuse protection.
