Overview

The Mersen GGU20 fuse (SKU: GGU20) is a fast-acting midget fuse rated for 125VAC and 20 Amps, designed for industrial and electronic circuit protection. Unlike standard glass-body fuses, the GGU20 features a durable ceramic body, enabling reliable operation in elevated ambient temperatures—up to 30A ratings use ceramic for superior heat resistance. This construction ensures consistent performance in harsh industrial environments where heat dissipation is critical, such as control panels, power supplies, and specialized machinery. With midget fuse dimensions of 1-1/2" (38 mm) long x 13/32" (10 mm) diameter, the GGU20 offers a compact form factor ideal for space-constrained applications. Its medium-lag characteristic provides balanced protection for circuits up to 30A and 125VAC, making it suitable for sensitive electronic components and industrial equipment. The fuse is UL Recognized for 20-30A ratings and UL Listed for 1-15A, ensuring compliance with industry standards. Compatible with UltraSafe™ fuse holders (1-30A), the GGU20 integrates seamlessly into existing systems. Its 10kA interrupting rating (I.R.) delivers robust fault protection, while the fast-acting response minimizes downtime and damage during overcurrent events. Note: This fuse is not intended for branch circuit protection in standard electrical installations. Manufactured by Mersen, a leader in electrical protection solutions, the GGU20 combines reliability, precision, and durability for critical industrial applications. Its UNSPSC code 39121609 classifies it within the electrical fuse and protector market, and it is proudly made in the USA.
