Overview

Mersen H093318 miniature fuses (5x20mm, FA series) deliver ultra-fast overcurrent protection at 400V rated voltage and 0.5A current. Designed for semiconductor circuits, these fuses respond in microseconds to short circuits and overloads, preventing damage to sensitive components like MOSFETs, IGBTs, and diodes. Their high-speed FA characteristic ensures rapid interruption under fault conditions, minimizing thermal stress and extending equipment lifespan. The 5x20mm cylindrical body with clip mounting provides compatibility with standard fuse holders and panels. These fuses handle high breaking capacity demands, making them suitable for power supplies, industrial controls, and test equipment. Mersen’s construction uses high-purity materials for consistent performance across temperature extremes. The 0.5A rating targets low-current applications where precision protection is critical, such as LED drivers, battery management systems, and telecom infrastructure. Key benefits include compact footprint, clip mounting simplicity, and 400V voltage tolerance for global applications. The FA series is optimized for applications requiring Type FF (very fast-acting) performance per IEC 60127-3 standards. For engineers specifying protection in high-reliability systems, the H093318 offers a proven solution with Mersen’s 100+ years of fuse expertise.
