Eaton 10A 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

This ceramic cartridge fuse from Eaton is a simple and reliable way to protect your electrical appliances from overcurrent and overheating. It has a type F fuse speed, which means it's fast-acting, so it blows quickly to break the electrical circuit when a fault such as a short circuit or overload occurs.
This low-voltage fuse is safe to use with domestic and commercial appliances from portable lights and heaters to air conditioners.

• 240V AC voltage rating for compatibility with many domestic, commercial and low-power industrial circuits
• Nickel-plated endcaps for corrosion resistance
• Strong ceramic body for increased heat resistance
• Body size of 25 (length) x 6.3mm (diameter) works safely in standard British plugs

Yes, ceramic fuses are designed to blow when a surge happens. This prevents heat damage to equipment and helps avoid fires starting from electrical arcing.

Your plug should have a voltage and current rating on it. Check that these match the numbers printed on the fuse before fitting.
