Overview

The Mersen F218758 is a 2-pole NH fuse-base designed for robust circuit protection in industrial applications. This unit features a plastic base construction, suitable for NH fuse-links up to size 00. It is rated for a maximum voltage of 1000VDC and 1000VAC, with a continuous current carrying capacity of 160A. The fuse-base is engineered for DIN rail installation, ensuring efficient and standardized mounting within control panels and electrical enclosures. Its stable, silver-plated contact springs, made from electrolytic copper, are formed from a single piece and are supported by highly resilient captive steel springs. This design provides superior contact integrity and resistance to thermal stress, crucial for reliable operation. The Mersen F218758 is part of Mersen's comprehensive NH fuse system, offering secure and dependable protection for electrical circuits. This specific model, SKU F218758, is manufactured by Mersen and offers a power acceptance of 12W. Its dimensions and specific contact type (EP, square contacts) are optimized for compatibility within the NH fuse-link system. The indirect touch protection is a key safety feature, and while a microswitch is not compatible with this specific indirect touch protection design, the base is built for secure and reliable fuse-link insertion and removal.
