Eaton Fuse, Radial Lead 5A Current Rating, 250V AC Time Delay, Plastic Body SS-5-5A-BK

The Eaton SS-5-5A-BK fuse is a high-quality protective device featuring a 5A current rating suitable for electrical circuits up to 250V AC. It includes a time delay fuse characteristic designed to withstand transient surges and avoid false tripping during short-term inrush currents. The plastic body construction ensures reliable insulation and durability, alongside radial leads with a diameter of 0.6mm facilitating robust mechanical mounting and soldering on printed circuit boards.

This fuse is rated for operation in ambient temperatures ranging from a minimum of -40°C up to a maximum of 125°C, supporting performance in elevated temperature environments. The breaking capacity of 50A is sufficient for safely interrupting high fault current conditions, enhancing circuit protection in demanding industrial and electronic systems.

Standards compliance includes UL 94V0 for flame retardancy, IEC 600680, VDE certification, and RoHS directives, guaranteeing safety and environmental compliance. Typical applications encompass safeguarding automation control modules with high inrush currents, protecting power supplies in sensitive electronic systems, use in motor controllers and drives to manage startup surges, and thermal management in mechanical equipment.

The radial lead orientation with 4.3mm lead length and compact dimensions (8.5mm length, 4.3mm width, 8.35mm height) allows easy integration into through-hole PCB assemblies. The fuse’s 0.6mm diameter leads ensure secure soldered electrical connections.

This fuse has a 5A current rating ensuring circuit continuity under sustained overloads. The time delay feature tolerates short-duration surges without unnecessary interruptions. The plastic body is rated UL 94V0 for flame retardance enhancing safety.

The 50A breaking capacity manages high fault currents safely. Radial lead configuration facilitates secure mounting on PCBs. Complies with key standards including IEC, VDE, and RoHS directives. Rated to operate reliably in a temperature range from -40°C to 125°C.
