This component serves as a safety-critical fuse in electrical systems, designed to interrupt current flow under overload or fault conditions. It protects circuits and connected devices by preventing excessive electric currents that could lead to damage or failure.
### Electrical Specifications
Rated for medium-voltage applications up to 500V AC/DC. Interrupting capacity is set at 10kA maximum. Standard compliance with IEC 60269-1 specifications for low-voltage fuses. Supports operational temperature ranges from -25°C to +75°C.
### Mechanical Design
Dimensions: cylindrical housing, length approximately 50mm, diameter 22mm. Construction material: heat-resistant ceramic with nickel-plated metal end caps for secure terminal connections. Compatible with DIN rail-mounted fuse holders accepting cylindrical formats.
### Applications
Primarily used in industrial power distribution units, control panels, and motor protection circuits where reliable circuit interruption is required during faults. Not intended for direct use in residential consumer electronics or smaller-scale devices—oversized rating.
#### Technical Notes/Limitations:
- Rated voltage must not exceed specified thresholds: risk of catastrophic failure if bypassed.
- Designed only for single-use operation — no reset capability after activation.
- Should be stored between -30°C and +60°C; prolonged exposure outside range affects performance consistency.
- Must verify proper match with other system components (e.g., size class and holder modules).
- Not water-resistant — avoid installation in moisture-prone environments without additional enclosure safeguards.
