Overview

Mersen Q216697 NH1 plastic fuse-base delivers high-performance electrical protection in industrial and commercial applications requiring 1000VAC/1000VDC operation at 250A. Designed for NH fuse-links with striker, this 1-pole base features a microswitch (250VAC/10A, 6.3x0.8mm terminals) that activates when the fuse melts or when no fuse-link is present, enabling remote monitoring and alarm systems. The base supports both screw mounting and DIN rail installation for flexible deployment in control panels, switchgear, and distribution boards. Constructed from durable plastic with silver-plated electrolytic copper contact springs and captive steel springs, the Q216697 withstands high thermal stress while maintaining reliable conductivity. Rated for 6kV impulse withstand voltage (Uimp), this fuse-base meets IEC NH fuse system standards and is compatible with NH1 fuse-links featuring 8mm contact blades. With a package weight of 0.52kg, the Q216697 is optimized for compact installations where space efficiency and operational safety are critical. Typical applications include motor control centers, renewable energy systems, and industrial machinery where overcurrent protection and status monitoring are essential.
