RS PRO 8A T Ceramic Cartridge Fuse, 6.3 x 32mm

RS PRO Miniature Anti-Surge Fuses. RS PRO offer this range of miniature ceramic cartridge fuses. These fuses are anti-surge (also known as slow-blow or time-delay) which means that they allow a current to flow for a short period, without the fuse blowing/shorting. These RS PRO fuses have a high breaking capacity and are 6.3mm x 32mm. They are ideal for providing protection to devices or internal circuits from short circuits and overcurrent. They are deliberately weaker components which, when too much current is drawn, will blow. Once the fuse has blown it will need replacing in order to make the circuit complete and allow the flow of current. RS PRO have a range of cartridge fuses types to suit all your requirements. Features: • Ceramic Fuse • 6.3 x 32 mm cartridge size • T Speed Rating • Cylindrical in shape Typical applications: Miniature fuses are a relatively cheap way of protecting electrical equipment from short circuits and overcurrent and can be used to protect electrical appliances, electronic equipment and component parts Additional Information: What size is it? 6.3 mm x32 mm is a miniature cartridge size. Miniature fuses are ideal for the protection of electrical appliances, electronic equipment and component parts What Speed is it? This particular fuse is T speed rated which means it is a slow acting fuse, sometimes referred to as anti-surge. It is able to tolerate higher levels for a short period, without shorting. Therefore, if a sudden change occurs, this fuse will not blow immediately. They are suitable for applications where a sudden flow of high current is required. What is Breaking Capacity? Breaking capacity is the level of current that the fuse can safely handle without exploding or rupturing. The breaking capacity of your fuse should be greater than the fault current of your electronic circuit. This particular fuse is HBC (High Breaking Capacity).
