Overview

The Mersen GSB-V3-15/100 miniature fuse provides fast-acting overcurrent protection for sensitive electronic circuits. Rated at 250VAC and 3.15A, this 5x20mm glass-body fuse is designed for rapid response to fault conditions, minimizing damage to protected components. The axial lead configuration (1.5" leads) enables direct soldering into PCBs or wiring harnesses, ensuring a secure electrical interface. This fuse is part of Mersen's GSB-V series, which meets IEC-127-2 standards and is recognized by UL and CSA for use in electronic protection applications. The fast-acting characteristic makes it ideal for circuits where even brief overcurrent events can compromise performance, such as in power supplies, industrial automation, test equipment, and medical devices. The 5x20mm size is a globally standardized form factor, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of fuse holders and mounting configurations. With a current rating of 3.15A, it is specifically calibrated for applications requiring precise overcurrent thresholds. The glass body construction provides visual status indication and maintains dielectric integrity under operating conditions.
