RS PRO 8A Fast Acting Glass Cartridge Fuse 5 x 20 mm 250V AC 668-5979

RS PRO 668-5979 8A Fast Acting Glass Cartridge Fuse 5 x 20 mm is a high-quality electrical component designed to provide reliable protection against short circuits and overcurrent situations in various circuits. The fuse features a glass body with nickel plated brass caps, measuring 20 mm in length and 5 mm in diameter, making it compatible with standard 5 x 20 mm fuse holders.

This fast acting (F) fuse operates at 250V AC and carries an 8 ampere current rating. It is engineered to function reliably within temperature ranges from -55°C to 125°C, suitable for diverse environmental conditions. Its low breaking capacity (LBC) ensures it effectively isolates faults by safely interrupting overload currents without damaging surrounding equipment.

The glass body allows users to visually inspect and easily identify when the fuse has blown, simplifying maintenance tasks. Compliant with international IEC standards, the fuse is RoHS certified and lead-free, meeting contemporary environmental regulations.

Typical applications include protection for electrical appliances such as motors, air-conditioners, refrigerators, pumps, and circuit boards in industrial, commercial, and residential environments. Its robust design ensures electrical safety by preventing cable melting or fires due to overloads.

The glass fuse offers straightforward inspection for fault identification. Its 5 x 20 mm cartridge size fits widely used fuse holders. The fast acting 'F' speed rating protects sensitive components effectively. Suitable for multiple sectors including industrial, commercial, automotive, and home electrical equipment.

Designed in accordance with IEC standards for global compatibility. Constructed with nickel plated brass caps for durability and conductivity. Operates within a broad temperature range from -55°C to 125°C. Low breaking capacity avoids catastrophic fuse failure during faults.

This RS PRO Cartridge Fuse is an essential electrical safety device that safeguards systems from costly damage caused by overload or short circuit faults. It is recommended for use wherever 8A, 5 x 20 mm fast acting fuses are specified. Explore EnvMart’s vast inventory of electrical and circuit protection components for reliable products.
