Why Choose the Mersen H084118 Medium Time-Lag Miniature Fuse?
The Mersen H084118, catalogue reference MI5SA25V0.315, is a compact medium time-lag miniature semiconductor fuse designed to protect sensitive electronic components and control equipment against overcurrent and short-circuit faults. It belongs to Mersen's 5 × 20 mm SA/SB range of semiconductor protection fuses.
Rated at 0.315 A and 250 V AC, the H084118 combines reliable fault protection with the ability to withstand brief current surges. Its medium time-lag characteristic reduces the risk of nuisance operation during temporary inrush conditions while still disconnecting sustained overloads.
The fuse is manufactured in a standard 5 × 20 mm cylindrical format and is designed for clip mounting in a compatible fuse holder. Its compact construction makes it suitable for industrial controls, electronic power supplies, instrumentation and OEM equipment where dependable circuit protection is required.
