Why Choose the Mersen F080482 Miniature Semiconductor Fuse?
The Mersen F080482, catalogue reference MI5SB25V0.063, is a compact medium time-lag miniature semiconductor fuse designed to protect sensitive electronic components, control apparatus and low-current circuits from damaging overcurrents. It forms part of Mersen’s 5 × 20 mm SA/SB semiconductor fuse range, developed to provide dependable protection while tolerating short-duration current surges.
With a rated current of 0.063 A and a rated voltage of 250 V AC, the F080482 is suitable for precision electronic circuits that require protection at very low current levels. Its SB medium time-lag characteristic allows temporary inrush or transient currents to pass without unnecessary fuse operation while still responding reliably to sustained overloads and short circuits.
The fuse features a standard 5 × 20 mm cylindrical format with ferrule ends for clip mounting in a compatible fuse holder. Its compact dimensions make it suitable for industrial controls, instrumentation, electronic power supplies and other equipment where installation space is limited.
