Why Choose the Mersen E206038 Fast-Acting Semiconductor Fuse?
The Mersen E206038 is a compact fast-acting semiconductor protection fuse designed to protect sensitive electronic components against damaging overcurrents and short circuits. Also identified by the catalogue number MI5FC25V1.6, it provides rapid fault interruption for semiconductor devices, electronic control equipment and industrial power circuits.
With a rated current of 1.6 A and a rated voltage of 250 V AC, the E206038 is suitable for low-current applications where dependable and responsive protection is essential. Its FC fast-acting characteristic helps limit the electrical and thermal energy reaching sensitive components during a fault.
The fuse is manufactured in a compact 5 × 20 mm ceramic cartridge format with ferrule terminals for clip mounting. Its miniature dimensions, low I²t values and reliable interrupting performance make it suitable for industrial controls, power supplies, instrumentation and specialist electronic assemblies.
