Why Choose the Mersen Z233449 MI5ST25V12.5 Miniature Fuse?
The Mersen Z233449 MI5ST25V12.5 is a dependable time-delay miniature cartridge fuse designed to protect industrial equipment, control circuits and electrical assemblies against sustained overloads and short circuits. Part of the established Mersen 5ST IEC miniature fuse range, it is suitable for equipment that experiences temporary inrush currents during normal start-up.
Manufactured in the standard 5 × 20 mm glass cartridge format, the Z233449 can be installed in compatible miniature fuse holders and fuse clips. Its transparent glass body allows the internal fuse element to be inspected visually, supporting efficient fault diagnosis and routine electrical maintenance.
With a rated current of 12.5 A and a rated voltage of 250 V AC, this fuse is suitable for power supplies, transformers, control panels and industrial machinery. Its time-delay characteristic helps prevent nuisance operation caused by brief start-up surges while maintaining reliable protection against prolonged overcurrent conditions.

Time-Delay Protection for Electrical Equipment
Time-delay cartridge fuses are designed to tolerate brief current surges that occur when transformers, power supplies, motors and other inductive loads are energised. This allows normal start-up currents to pass without unnecessary fuse operation while maintaining protection against sustained overloads and short circuits.
The Mersen Z233449 combines a 12.5 A rating with compact 5 × 20 mm dimensions, making it suitable for original equipment and replacement applications. The current rating, voltage rating, operating characteristic and required breaking capacity should always be checked against the protected equipment before installation.
