Overview

The Mersen 20656R is a single-pole Class R fuse block designed for 250VAC/DC and 600VAC/DC applications, rated for 60 Amperes. This fuse block accommodates all Class R 250V and 600V power fuses, ensuring broad compatibility with protective devices. It features a high-conductivity tin-plated copper spring-reinforced clip and a copper box connector specifically engineered for copper wires. This design leverages the same coefficient of expansion as copper wire, leading to improved heat cycling performance and meeting or exceeding OEM "no aluminum" specifications. The insulator is constructed from molded glass-filled polycarbonate (GFPC), verified to have dielectric strength exceeding 2500V. This Mersen fuse block is UL listed (guide IZLT, File E52283) and CSA certified (class 6225, File 32169), meeting UL 4248 requirements. The copper box connector is suitable for wire ranges from #4 to #14 AWG copper wire, with a recommended connector torque of 35 in-lbs. The SKU 20656R is manufactured in the USA. This fuse block is ideal for applications requiring reliable overcurrent protection for copper conductors within its specified voltage and amperage ratings.
