Multicomp Pro 5x20mm Ceramic Time Delay Fuse, 500mA

The Multicomp Pro 5mm x 20mm Ceramic Time Delay Fuse is a reliable component designed for precision circuit protection. Its 500mA rating with a time-delay (slow-blow) characteristic allows it to withstand normal, harmless current surges—such as those from motors or transformers starting up—without blowing, while still providing reliable protection against prolonged overloads or short circuits. The fuse body is constructed from robust ceramic and is sand-filled, which helps to quench arcs and safely contain any rupture, ensuring a high breaking capacity.

This fuse features nickel-plated brass end caps, which provide excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance for a stable, low-resistance connection. It is rated for 250V AC applications and boasts a high breaking capacity of 35A AC, making it suitable for a variety of domestic and light industrial electrical and electronic equipment.

As part of the trusted MP Cartridge 5x20 product range, this component offers dependable performance in a standardised form factor. It is an essential part for maintenance kits, repair work, and original equipment manufacturing, helping to safeguard sensitive circuits from damage.
