Overview

The Mersen GSF1/4 miniature time-delay fuse (SKU: GSF1/4) provides precise overcurrent protection for sensitive electronic and control systems. Engineered with a ceramic body and 5x20mm ferrule dimensions, this fuse delivers robust thermal management and arc suppression in compact applications. Rated for 250VAC and 0.25A, it handles temporary inrush currents without nuisance tripping while ensuring rapid response to sustained overloads. The time-delay characteristic is ideal for instrumentation, telecommunications, and medical equipment where transient surges are common. This fuse meets IEC-127-2 Standard Sheet 5 requirements and is recognized by UL and CSA, confirming its reliability in industrial environments. With a 1500A interrupting rating at 250VAC, the GSF1/4 offers dependable protection for delicate circuits. Its ferrule connection type ensures secure mounting in fuse holders, while the axial lead option (catalog number GSF-V1/4) provides installation flexibility. The ceramic construction resists cracking and thermal stress, extending service life in high-temperature applications.
