Why Choose the Mersen X084361 High-Speed Miniature Fuse?
The Mersen X084361, catalogue number MI6FA40V4, is a compact and dependable high-speed semiconductor protection fuse designed to protect sensitive electronic components against damaging overcurrents and short circuits. It forms part of Mersen’s 6.3 × 32 mm FA miniature fuse range, which provides rapid fault interruption for power electronic and industrial control applications.
Its very fast-acting FA characteristic helps limit the electrical and thermal energy transferred to vulnerable semiconductor devices during a fault. This makes the X084361 particularly suitable for protecting converters, diodes, thyristors, triacs and associated electronic circuitry where a conventional general-purpose fuse may not respond quickly enough.
Rated at 4 A and 400 V AC, the Mersen X084361 combines a robust ceramic cartridge body with a very high 200 kA minimum interrupting rating. Its ferrule terminals and clip-mounted construction allow straightforward installation in compatible fuse holders within control panels, converters and electronic equipment.
