What's a Ceramic Cartridge Fuse?

It's a type of fuse featuring a ceramic tube for the housing and metal end caps. Inside the housing is a metal wire through which the current flows.

How does it work?

The metal wire inside the ceramic housing is designed to melt when exposed to excessive current, which breaks the circuit. This keeps your connected devices protected against damage.

Why should I use a Ceramic Cartridge Fuse?

Ceramic cartridge fuses have a high interrupting capacity, which means they can handle higher fault currents than their glass counterparts. You can therefore use them in applications with high current demands. Due to their ceramic body they are more robust and can withstand high temperatures. They offer consistent and dependable performance in many types of conditions, and are available in many different current ratings and sizes, so they're a versatile option.

Where are they used?

You'll find them commonly used in things like household appliances, consumer electronics, industrial equipment, and medical devices.
