Why Choose the Mersen E085610 Medium Time-Lag Semiconductor Fuse?
The Mersen E085610 is a compact medium time-lag semiconductor fuse designed to protect sensitive electronic components and semiconductor devices against damaging overcurrents. Also identified by the catalogue number MI6SA50V5, it provides dependable circuit protection whilst tolerating the short-duration current surges that can occur during normal equipment start-up.
With a rated current of 5 A and a rated voltage of 500 V AC, the E085610 is suitable for industrial electronic equipment, power supplies and control systems where nuisance fuse operation must be avoided. Its SA medium time-lag characteristic allows temporary inrush currents to pass whilst maintaining reliable protection against sustained overloads and short circuits.
The fuse features a compact 6.3 × 32 mm cartridge format designed for clip mounting in a compatible fuse holder. Its very high breaking capacity, durable construction and space-efficient dimensions make it suitable for equipment manufacturers, panel builders and maintenance engineers working with sensitive industrial electronics.
