Why Choose the Mersen A079764 Semiconductor Miniature Fuse?
The Mersen A079764, catalogue number MI6SA40V1P, is a compact medium time-lag semiconductor miniature fuse designed to protect sensitive electronic components, semiconductor devices and industrial control equipment against damaging overcurrent conditions.
Part of Mersen’s MI6SA miniature fuse range, the A079764 combines a standard 6.3 × 32 mm cylindrical format with a rated current of 1 A and a rated voltage of 400 V AC. Its SA operating characteristic allows temporary current surges while providing dependable interruption when sustained overcurrent or short-circuit conditions occur.
The fuse features a high 50 kA minimum breaking capacity, ceramic body and integrated striker indication system. These features make the Mersen A079764 suitable for demanding control, automation and semiconductor protection applications where compact dimensions, fault indication and reliable circuit protection are required.
