Why Choose the Mersen P084101 Medium Time-Lag Miniature Fuse?
The Mersen P084101, also identified by catalogue reference MI5SA25V0.16, is a compact 5 × 20 mm semiconductor miniature fuse designed to protect sensitive electronic components and control equipment against damaging overcurrents. Its medium time-lag operating characteristic allows the fuse to tolerate brief current surges while still providing dependable circuit protection.
Rated at 0.16 A and 250 V AC, the P084101 is suitable for low-current electronic circuits, instrumentation and industrial control systems. The SA fuse characteristic helps prevent unnecessary operation during normal inrush conditions, making it particularly useful in equipment where short-duration startup currents are expected.
The standard 5 × 20 mm clip-mounted format enables straightforward installation in compatible fuse holders and electrical assemblies. Its compact dimensions and controlled time-current performance make the Mersen P084101 a practical solution for OEM equipment, semiconductor circuits and automation applications requiring reliable protection with short-term surge tolerance.
