Why Choose the Mersen H216115 Medium Time-Lag Miniature Fuse?
The Mersen H216115 is a dependable 5 × 20 mm medium time-lag miniature fuse designed to protect electrical distribution circuits and industrial equipment against sustained overloads and short circuits. Part of the established Mersen 5SM IEC miniature fuse series, it combines controlled tolerance of temporary current surges with reliable fault interruption.
Its medium time-lag operating characteristic allows brief start-up currents to pass without unnecessary fuse operation. This makes the H216115 suitable for circuits containing transformers, power supplies, capacitive loads and other components that may draw a temporary surge when energised.
With a rated current of 2.5 A, a rated voltage of 250 V AC and standard 5 × 20 mm dimensions, the Mersen H216115 provides compact and reliable protection for control panels, instrumentation, automation equipment and industrial auxiliary circuits.
