RS PRO 5A T Ceramic Cartridge Fuse 563-693, 250V AC, 5 x 20 mm, Slow Acting HBC Ceramic Body

The RS PRO 563-693 Ceramic Cartridge Fuse offers industrial-grade protection for electrical equipment with a 5 amp current rating and slow acting T (anti-surge, high breaking capacity) operation. This fuse is engineered to safeguard components from costly damages triggered by short circuits and over-current situations.

Featuring a robust ceramic body and a compact 5 x 20 mm cartridge size, it is designed to fit standard fuse holders in panels and boards. Its slow acting T speed rating is specifically configured to tolerate brief surges, making it ideal for applications requiring a short-term higher current, such as motor startups or equipment inrush currents.

With a voltage rating of 250V AC, this fuse ensures reliable performance for a wide range of devices including motors, air conditioners, refrigerators and pumps. The anti-surge characteristics prevent immediate fuse blow in events of sudden current spikes, reducing equipment downtime and maintenance costs.

Operating in temperature extremes from -55°C to 125°C, the fuse is suitable for environments requiring dependable circuit protection. Its compliance with international standards such as VDE, UL, RoHS and CSA assures safe and robust usage in industrial, commercial, residential, and automotive settings.

This fuse is particularly effective in isolating sub-systems following faults, thereby enhancing overall system reliability and safety. Its HBC (High Breaking Capacity) classification means it can safely interrupt large fault currents without rupture.

Slow acting T speed - tolerates temporary surges without immediate blow. Robust ceramic body for thermal and mechanical protection. High breaking capacity HBC design prevents rupture under fault conditions. 250V AC voltage rating supports a range of mains-operated equipment.

Compact 5 x 20 mm cartridge size for standardized panel and holder fitment. Wide operating temperature ensures suitability for demanding environments. Approved by VDE, UL, RoHS, and CSA for global reliability.

Use cases include protection for industrial machinery, commercial equipment, household appliances and automotive electronics. The RS PRO 563-693 fuse is ideal for manufacturers, control panel designers, and maintenance engineers seeking proven circuit protection solutions.
