Eaton 5A F Ceramic Cartridge Fuse, 6.3 x 25mm

This range of fuses from Cooper Bussmann are fast acting with high rapture capacity. They are suitable for various different uses, providing reliable performance and cost-effective circuit protection. They are ideal for use in plugs to protect cables from melting or catching fire if they are overloaded.

Why choose a ceramic fuse?
Ceramic fuses, in comparison to glass fuses, often have a higher current capacity. Ceramic fuses are popular in household applications, such as appliances. These fuses are opaque and often contain sand which is use to prevent a conductive film from forming on the fuse. Glass fuses are often the most reliable option.

What is HBC?
HBC stands for high breaking current and refers to the maximum current that the fuse can handle without breaking. It is also known as HRC (High Rupturing Capacity).

What size is it?
This range of fuses are 6.3 x 25, meaning they are 25mm long and 6.3mm in diameter.

What Speed is it?
These fuses are “F” speed rated, which is short for Fast Acting. This is also known as fast blow and is popular in general purpose applications. They are designed not to handle current spikes over the rated current.

IEC 269-3A

Use this ceramic cartridge fuse from Eaton to protect your circuits and ensure the safe running of electrical appliances. It has a standard body size of 25mm in length and a 6.5mm diameter, which means it's compatible with all British plugs with a current rating of 5A.
This fuse is Type F, which means it's fast-acting and prevents damage from overcurrent and electrical surges. Use it in household and office devices such as blenders, printers and paper shredders.

• Ceramic body for thermal stability and heat resistance
• High breaking capacity (HBC) means it clears high-fault as well as low-fault currents
• Corrosion-resistant nickel-plated endcaps for durability and reliable conductivity
• 240V AC voltage rating for compatibility with many domestic and commercial electrical circuits and appliances

This type of fuse has a thin metal element inside that blows or melts when the electrical current is too high. The cartridge body is usually filled with sand or a similar material to reduce arcing and prevent electricity passing through once the element has broken.
