SCHURTER Glass Cartridge Fuse, Time Delay, 250mA, 5mm x 20mm

The SCHURTER Glass Cartridge Fuse is an essential component designed to provide reliable and time-delayed overcurrent protection in a wide range of electrical circuits. Its 5mm x 20mm (0.2” x 0.79”) glass cartridge design allows for easy visual inspection of the fuse element, enabling quick identification of a blown fuse. With a 250mA current rating and 250V AC voltage rating, it is perfectly suited for safeguarding sensitive electronic equipment, control circuits, and power supplies where a slower, more tolerant response to temporary inrush currents is required.

This time-delay (slow-blow) characteristic is a key feature, allowing the fuse to withstand short-duration surge currents, such as those generated when motors start up or capacitors charge, without unnecessarily interrupting the circuit. This makes it ideal for applications with inductive loads. The fuse boasts a substantial breaking capacity of 35A AC, ensuring it can safely interrupt high fault currents and prevent potential damage or fire hazards.

Part of the trusted SCHURTER FST product range, this fuse is manufactured to high-quality standards, ensuring consistent performance and reliability. Its compact dimensions and standard metric size make it a direct replacement for countless applications in consumer electronics, industrial controls, instrumentation, and telecommunications equipment. By providing a critical layer of safety, this fuse helps protect valuable assets and ensures the continued operation of your electrical systems.
