Why Choose the Mersen Q087506 5SU Miniature Fuse?
The Mersen Q087506, also identified by the catalogue reference MI5SU25V8, is a compact 5 x 20 mm medium time-lag ceramic cartridge fuse designed to protect industrial controls, electronic equipment and electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. As part of the established Mersen 5SU miniature fuse series, it combines dependable high-breaking-capacity protection with the ability to withstand temporary inrush currents.
The Q087506 uses a durable ceramic body suited to circuits where higher fault-current interruption capability is required than can typically be provided by a standard glass fuse. Its medium time-lag operating characteristic helps prevent nuisance fuse operation when transformers, motors, power supplies and capacitive loads draw brief start-up currents.
With a rated current of 8 A and a rated voltage of 250 V AC, this fuse is suitable for installation in compatible 5 x 20 mm fuse holders and clips within control panels, machinery, electronic assemblies and industrial electrical equipment.
