Overview

Mersen PCF5-H is a fast-acting midget fuse designed for direct mounting on printed circuit boards, eliminating the need for additional clips or fuseholders. Rated at 5A with a voltage rating of 600VAC/600VDC, this double hole mount fuse provides reliable overcurrent protection for critical components. The PCF series supports automated assembly, reducing manufacturing complexity and cost for PCB users. With an interrupting rating of 100kA and a response time of ≤10ms, the PCF5-H ensures rapid fault interruption to safeguard sensitive electronics. UL Component Recognized (File E60314), it is ideal for protecting main frame power boards, low-interrupting circuit breakers, and other high-value components. The midget size and direct mount design streamline integration into compact PCB layouts while maintaining high performance. Compatible with standard .062in (1.6mm) circuit board thickness, this fuse is a cost-effective solution for industrial and commercial applications requiring precise electrical protection.
