Why Choose the Mersen B080478 MI5SB25V0.08 Miniature Fuse?
The Mersen B080478 MI5SB25V0.08 is a compact 0.08 A semiconductor miniature fuse designed to protect sensitive electronic components, control apparatus and industrial circuits against damaging overcurrents. Part of Mersen’s MI5SB 250 V fuse range, it combines dependable protection with a space-saving 5 × 20 mm ceramic cartridge format.
Its medium time-lag SB operating characteristic allows the fuse to withstand brief inrush and transient currents without unnecessary operation. This makes it suitable for circuits that experience short-duration current surges during start-up while still requiring effective protection against sustained overloads and short-circuit conditions.
Rated at 0.08 A and 250 V AC, the Mersen B080478 is designed for clip mounting in a compatible miniature fuse holder. Its ceramic construction, ferrule terminals and 4 kA minimum interrupting rating provide reliable performance in electronic control, instrumentation and OEM equipment applications.

Reliable Protection for Circuits with Inrush Current
Electronic components and control apparatus can be damaged when excessive current creates thermal stress beyond their operating limits. The Mersen B080478 helps protect connected equipment by interrupting sustained overloads and short-circuit currents before damaging energy reaches sensitive components.
The medium time-lag characteristic allows harmless start-up surges and transient currents to pass without immediately operating the fuse. This helps reduce nuisance fuse replacement while maintaining dependable protection against genuine electrical faults.
Typical Applications
- Sensitive electronic control equipment.
- Instrumentation and measurement circuits.
- Industrial power supplies.
- Automation and control systems.
- Circuits with inrush or transient current conditions.
- OEM electronic and electrical assemblies.
