Overview

The Mersen X219233 cylindrical fuse-link (aM type, size 10x38) is a high-performance protective component designed for industrial electrical distribution circuits. Rated at 500VAC with a nominal current of 1A, this fuse-link provides critical short-circuit protection for motors and other sensitive equipment. Its ceramic body and silver-plated contacts ensure reliable performance under demanding conditions, while the visual indicator allows for quick fault identification without disassembly. This partial-range fuse (aM classification) is engineered to interrupt currents exceeding 6.3x the nominal current (In) up to its maximum breaking capacity of 120kA, making it ideal for protecting motor circuits where precise current limiting is essential. The 10x38mm cylindrical design is compatible with standard IEC fuse holders, including Mersen’s Modulostar® series, ensuring broad system integration. With a power dissipation of 0.5W at 1A, the X219233 minimizes energy loss while maintaining thermal stability. Manufactured by Mersen in France, this fuse-link meets IEC standards for low-voltage protection and is distributed by Gross Automation (SKU: X219233). Its compact size and robust construction make it suitable for applications in industrial automation, motor control centers, and distribution panels where space efficiency and reliability are critical.
