Eaton 160mA Fast Acting Glass Cartridge Fuse, 5 x 20 mm, 250V AC S500-160-R

Eaton S500-160-R is a 160mA fast acting glass Cartridge Fuse designed for use in 250V AC electrical circuits. Its 5 x 20 mm cylindrical glass body allows operators visual confirmation of fuse condition, enabling quick assessment whether the fuse has blown.

This fuse belongs to the Eaton Bussmann S500 series and adheres to international IEC standards, ensuring reliable protection globally. The fast acting (F) speed rating makes it suitable for protecting less sensitive components and preventing overheating or damage due to overcurrent conditions.

The fuse is built with a low breaking capacity (LBC), which defines the maximum fault current it can interrupt safely without damage. Its compact size of 20 mm length and 5 mm diameter fits standard panel and board fuse holders with 5 x 20 mm slots, making it convenient for installation and replacement.

Typical applications include guarding sensitive electronic components, electrical panels, and general electrical devices against damaging short circuits and overloading. The glass body also allows easy visual inspection for maintenance and fault diagnostics.

Compliant with multiple safety standards such as BSI, CCC, CSA, IMQ, SEMKO, and VDE, this Eaton fuse assures quality and consistency in electrical protection across industrial, commercial, and residential environments.

The fuse has a standard size of 5 x 20 mm for compatibility with common fuse holders. Its glass body allows visible inspection to determine if the fuse is blown. The fuse is rated for quick response to overcurrent with its 'F' fast acting characteristic.
