Why Choose the Mersen P098131 Medium Time-Lag Semiconductor Fuse?
The Mersen P098131, catalogue reference MI6SA50V2, is a compact 6.3 × 32 mm semiconductor miniature fuse designed to provide dependable overcurrent protection for sensitive electronic components and industrial control equipment. Its medium time-lag SA operating characteristic allows it to tolerate short-duration current surges while responding effectively to sustained overloads and electrical faults.
Rated at 2 A and 500 V AC, the P098131 is suitable for circuits where temporary inrush or transient currents occur during normal operation. Its controlled time-current response helps reduce unnecessary fuse operation while maintaining reliable protection for semiconductor devices, power supplies, instrumentation and electronic control systems.
The standard 6.3 × 32 mm clip-mounted format supports straightforward installation in compatible miniature fuse holders. With its compact construction, medium time-lag performance and high voltage rating, the Mersen P098131 is a practical protection solution for OEM machinery, industrial automation equipment and sensitive electronic assemblies.
