Overview

The Mersen 21005R is a 100A, 250VDC/VAC Class R fuse block featuring copper box connectors. Designed for copper wires only, this block is specifically engineered with the same coefficient of expansion as copper wire to ensure improved heat cycling performance and meet or exceed OEM "no aluminum" specifications. It accommodates Class R fuses and is built with GFPC (Glass-Filled Polycarbonate) insulation, offering verified dielectric strength exceeding 2500V. This fuse block is part of Mersen's extensive line of Class H, K, and R fuse blocks, designed to accommodate a wide range of power fuses. The 100A fuse blocks, like the 21005R, feature a unique adder block design that can be snapped onto 1-, 2-, or 3-pole blocks to create multi-pole segmented blocks of any desired pole count. All fuse clips are constructed from high-conductivity tin-plated copper and are spring-reinforced for 100A and above, ensuring reliable contact. The 21005R is ideal for applications requiring robust and reliable overcurrent protection with Class R fuses. Recommended mounting screws for 100A blocks are 1/4" (0.250" dia.).
