Why Choose the Mersen Z085444 Miniature Semiconductor Fuse?
The Mersen Z085444 is a compact 6.3 × 32 mm high-speed semiconductor fuse designed to provide rapid protection for sensitive electronic components and power-semiconductor devices. Also identified by catalogue number MI6FA50V5, it has a rated current of 5 A and a rated voltage of 500 V AC.
Part of the Mersen FA miniature semiconductor fuse series, the Z085444 features a very fast-acting characteristic that interrupts abnormal currents before excessive electrical energy reaches protected components. This helps reduce thermal and electrical stress on diodes, thyristors, rectifiers, converters and other semiconductor devices.
The fuse is manufactured with a durable ceramic insulating body and ferrule terminals for installation in compatible clip-mounted fuse holders. Its compact cartridge format, low let-through energy and 20 kA minimum interrupting rating make it suitable for industrial automation, power electronics, instrumentation and OEM equipment.
