Why Choose the Mersen X079002 Fast-Acting Miniature Fuse?
The Mersen X079002 is a compact fast-acting miniature cartridge fuse designed to protect electrical and electronic equipment against damaging overcurrents and short circuits. Its rapid F operating characteristic enables the fuse to interrupt abnormal current quickly, helping to reduce electrical and thermal stress on protected components.
With a rated current of 4 A and a rated operating voltage of 250 V AC, the X079002 is suitable for industrial controls, instrumentation, electronic assemblies and specialised electrical equipment. Its ceramic cartridge construction provides reliable insulation and thermal performance in demanding operating environments.
The fuse uses a compact 5 × 25 mm cylindrical format for installation in a compatible clip-mounted fuse holder. It also incorporates a trip indicator or striker, allowing compatible equipment to provide mechanical or remote indication when the fuse has operated and helping maintenance personnel identify the affected circuit quickly.

Fast and Dependable Circuit Protection
Fast-acting fuses respond rapidly when current rises beyond an acceptable level. This helps limit the duration of a fault and reduces the energy passed into wiring, electronic components and control equipment.
The Mersen X079002 combines fast operation with a durable ceramic cartridge and an integrated striker. When installed in compatible indication equipment, the striker can activate a visual, mechanical or remote signalling device after the fuse operates, simplifying fault diagnosis and maintenance.
