Why Choose the Mersen S079021 Miniature Fuse?
The Mersen S079021 is a compact and dependable medium time-lag miniature fuse designed to protect industrial controls, electrical equipment and electronic circuits against overloads and short circuits. Identified by the catalogue number MI5M25V4P, this fuse combines reliable fault protection with the ability to tolerate temporary current surges during normal equipment operation.
With a rated current of 4 A and a rated voltage of 250 V AC, the S079021 is suitable for circuits containing transformers, relays, control components and other devices that may draw brief inrush currents. Its medium time-lag operating characteristic helps prevent unnecessary fuse operation while still providing effective protection against sustained overcurrent conditions.
The fuse features a compact 5.2 × 25 mm ceramic body and an integrated striker indicator. This design provides a clear mechanical indication when the fuse has operated and can support auxiliary signalling or monitoring arrangements in compatible equipment.
