multicomp PRO Fuse, Cartridge, Time Delay, 0.5A/250Vac; Blow Characteristic Multicomp Pro MP000850

The Fuse, Cartridge, Time Delay, 0.5A/250Vac (part number MP000850) is a time-lag ceramic cartridge fuse designed for applications requiring a 500mA current rating and a voltage rating of 250V AC. It features a cylindrical body measuring 5.2mm in diameter and 20mm in length, constructed from ceramic material with nickel-plated brass caps for termination. This fuse is suitable for operating temperatures ranging from -55¬8C to +125¬8C and has a breaking capacity of 1500A at 250V AC for the 500mA rating. The fuse is designed to delay the blow characteristic, allowing for temporary overloads without immediate failure, which can be beneficial in circuits with inrush currents. Engineers should consider this fuse for applications that require reliable overcurrent protection in compact spaces, particularly where time-delay characteristics are essential.
