Overview

The Mersen A6Y5-1R is a Type 1R Ferrule Amp-Trap® fuse, manufactured by Mersen. This fuse operates at 500VAC and 500VDC with a current rating of 5A. It is part of Mersen's Form 600 series, which are recognized as the original current-limiting fuses, predating many industry standards. A key feature of the Form 600 series, including this A6Y5-1R model, is its 500V DC rating, which extends up to 600A. This makes them particularly useful for specialized fusing applications requiring DC protection. These fuses provide a high degree of current limitation in both AC and DC circuits. Specifically, Type 1 and Type 3 fuses within this series are dimensionally interchangeable with Class H and Class K fuses, offering compatibility with existing fuse holders. However, Types 4 and 5 have unique rejection dimensions and are not interchangeable with other fuse classes. The A6Y5-1R, being a Type 1R, offers this dimensional compatibility. The UNSPSC code for this product is 39121606, and it is manufactured in the USA. This fuse is designed for reliable overcurrent protection in various industrial settings where precise current limitation is essential.
