Overview

Mersen T218241 is a high-reliability NH0 plastic fuse base designed for 160A applications at 1000VAC and 1000VDC. This single-pole DIN rail mountable fuse base features a robust plastic construction with silver-plated electrolytic copper contact springs and captive steel springs for superior thermal stress resistance. The unit is rated for parallel mounting in dense configurations, making it ideal for space-constrained industrial panels. Compatible with NH fuse-links featuring striker mechanisms, the T218241 supports microswitch integration (250VAC/10A, 6.3x0.8mm terminals) for fault indication when fuses operate. The design includes indirect touch protection (IP20) and meets IEC standards with a rated impulse withstand voltage of 6kV. With a power acceptance of 12W and compact 0.13kg package, this fuse base is optimized for low-voltage distribution systems requiring precise thermal management and reliable fault protection. Suitable for applications in power distribution, motor control centers, and renewable energy systems.
