Why Choose the Mersen Q087023 MI5SA25V4 Semiconductor Miniature Fuse?
The Mersen Q087023, catalogue reference MI5SA25V4, is a compact semiconductor miniature fuse designed to provide dependable overcurrent protection for sensitive electronic components, control apparatus and industrial equipment. It forms part of Mersen's MI5 SA/SB 125–250 V miniature fuse range.
Rated at 4 A and 250 V AC, the Q087023 features a medium time-lag SA operating characteristic. This controlled response allows the fuse to withstand brief start-up currents and short-duration surges while continuing to protect the circuit against sustained overloads and short-circuit conditions.
The fuse uses a standard 5 × 20 mm cylindrical cartridge format designed for clip mounting in a compatible miniature fuse holder. Its compact dimensions and surge-tolerant operating characteristic make it suitable for semiconductor devices, power supplies, instrumentation, automation systems and electronic control equipment.
Key Advantages
- Reliable protection for sensitive semiconductor and electronic circuits.
- 4 A current rating for control and electronic applications.
- 250 V AC voltage rating for low-voltage equipment.
- Medium time-lag characteristic accommodates brief inrush currents.
- Helps protect electronic components against sustained overcurrents.

Reliable Protection for Circuits with Inrush Current
Electronic equipment may produce brief inrush currents when it is switched on. A medium time-lag fuse is designed to tolerate these temporary current increases without unnecessary operation while continuing to disconnect persistent overloads and short circuits.
The Mersen Q087023 combines controlled time-delay performance with a compact cartridge design. This makes it suitable for electronic and industrial control circuits where resistance to nuisance fuse operation and reliable overcurrent protection are both important.
Typical Applications
- Semiconductor protection circuits.
- Industrial control equipment.
- Electronic power supplies.
- Instrumentation and monitoring systems.
- Automation and signalling equipment.
- Control apparatus with temporary inrush currents.
- Electronic equipment assemblies.
- OEM machinery and control panels.
