Why Choose the Mersen S078929 Semiconductor Miniature Fuse?
The Mersen S078929 is a compact high-speed miniature fuse designed to protect sensitive semiconductor devices and electronic circuits against damaging overcurrents and short circuits. As part of the Mersen MI5 SA 400V series, it provides rapid fault interruption in a space-saving cylindrical format suitable for industrial control and electronic equipment.
With a rated current of 0.08 A and a rated voltage of 400 V AC, the S078929 is intended for low-current circuits where conventional general-purpose fuses may not respond quickly enough to protect sensitive components. Its semiconductor protection characteristic helps limit the electrical energy passed through the circuit during a fault.
The fuse uses a compact 5 × 20 mm cartridge format, allowing straightforward installation in compatible fuse holders and electronic assemblies. Its combination of a low current rating, high-speed response and 400 V AC capability makes it suitable for instrumentation, automation equipment, control electronics and power conversion circuits.
