To make sure you don't blow it when it comes to overcurrent protection, turn to this cartridge fuse from Eaton. When it detects an abnormal load on a connected electric circuit, the unit's conducting wire melts and stops the flow of electricity, protecting your equipment. As this is a glass fuse, it's easy to inspect during troubleshooting and maintenance checks. Glass fuses also have the benefit of providing some protection to sensitive nearby components from heat build-up due to overcurrent. They're commonly used in automotive applications, automation equipment and home electronics.

• 20A current rating means it can take a substantial amount of current before blowing
• Fast-acting F-type fuse blows immediately in the event of overcurrent, protecting downstream components
• Standard 6.3 (diameter) x 25mm (length) dimensions for wide compatibility
• Voltage rating of 250V AC suitable for heavy-duty applications

The nickel-plating helps to shrug off corrosion, while the brass is particularly durable. Together, these materials ensure that the fuse has a long service life.
