Littelfuse 5 A T Glass Cartridge Fuse, 6.3 x 32 mm

Glass cartridge

6.3mm x 21 mm cartridge size

T Speed Rating

Low Breaking Capacity

Cartridge fuses are a relatively cheap way of protecting electrical equipment from short circuits and overcurrent and can be used to protect electrical appliances such as motors air-conditions, refrigerator, pumps etc. They can be found in the following areas:

Industrial

Commercial

Home/Residential

Automotive

6.3 x 32mm is a miniature cartridge size. Miniature fuses are ideal for the protection of electrical appliances, electronic equipment and component parts.

Glass and ceramic fuses have similar properties. However you may choose a glass fuse as it enables you to see the inside of the fuse. Therefore it is easier to determine whether the fuse has blown.

• For the protection of components and equipment from costly damage caused by over-current.

• To isolate sub-systems from the main system once a fault has appeared

It is a setting where a circuit experiences a current that is higher than the normal operating current.

This particular fuse is “T” speed rated which means it is a slow acting fuse, sometimes referred to as anti-surge. It is able to tolerate higher levels for a short period, without shorting. Therefore, if a sudden change occurs, this fuse will not blow immediately. They are suitable for applications where a sudden flow of high current is required.

Breaking capacity is the level of current that the fuse can safely handle without exploding or rupturing. The breaking capacity of your fuse should be greater than the fault current of your electronic circuit. This particular fuse is LBC (Low Breaking Capacity).
