Eaton 1A 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 in plugs for small devices such as phone chargers and portable lights. It has a 1A current rating so it's suitable for low-powered applications. As an F speed fuse, it breaks quickly in the event of an overcurrent or short circuit and protects downstream equipment from damage.
The fuse body has a British Standard size of 25mm long, which means it fits securely into the clips of UK plug fuse holders.

• Nickel-plated endcaps are conductive and resistant to corrosion for effective and durable use
• High breaking capacity (HBC) of 6kA at 264V AC for safe and reliable use in domestic appliances
• Ceramic fuse body has a high thermal stability

Fuses with ceramic bodies are able to withstand higher temperatures and offer better thermal protection than glass-bodied alternatives. Choose a ceramic fuse in situations where reliable arc protection is important.

It has a voltage rating of 240 V AC for use in general-purpose domestic and commercial electrical devices.
