Overview

Mersen SKU Q095993 is a miniature fuse designed for precise circuit protection. This 5x20mm fuse operates at a 400V rating and features a 0.16A current limit. Its medium time-lag (SA) characteristic is critical for safeguarding sensitive electronic components, particularly semiconductors, from damaging overcurrent conditions. This design allows for temporary, short-duration current surges without nuisance tripping, while still providing rapid interruption during sustained overloads or short circuits. The SA designation indicates its suitability for protecting semiconductor devices. The fuse is configured for clip mounting, facilitating straightforward installation in electrical panels and equipment. With a very high breaking capacity, this Mersen fuse effectively mitigates the impact of inrush currents, thereby enhancing the overall durability and reliability of the protected system. Its compact size and specific ratings make it suitable for a range of electronic and industrial control applications where precise overcurrent protection is paramount. The UNSPSC code for this product is 39121628.
