Product Description

3.6x10mm Axial Leaded Slow Blow Glass Tube Fuse 1A 2A 3.15A 250V 5x20mm 6x30mm

Description Of The 3.6x10mm Axial Leaded Slow Blow Glass Tube Fuse

3.6x10mm glass fuse is one of most popular fuse to provide overcurrent protection in typical application such as power supply and LED lighting since it is cheap but it is should formed to vertical mounting & add heat shrinkable tube in power adaptor because it is spacing limiting. It can be 125V or 250V and current can be 160mA to 24A , slow blow type can withstand surge current maybe cause when start up.

Application Of The 3.6x10mm Axial Leaded Slow Blow Glass Tube Fuse

- Digital Consumer Electronics

- Power supplies

- LED Lighting

Operating Characteristics

Load capacity:When the fuse loads through 100% of rated current, should blow within 4 hours.

Anatomy of Fuses

Electrical appliances and equipment are protected by the tiny fuses that are installed in their wiring or housing. They break the electrical circuit should something nefarious happen to the current, such as being overloaded due to a power surge during a severe storm, or if a circuit decides to short. The tiny fuse prevents the problem at the source from traveling to an expensive appliance or beloved décor item and destroying its fine electrical systems. It also keeps the item from making a bigger problem, such as fire or water damage if a machine full of wet items fails before the spin cycle. Fuses come in all shapes and sizes. They are also made of many different types of material to ensure they can function properly under various conditions fuses might confront during its relatively short duration in the appliance or fixture. The two main materials that are used to manufacture well-built fuses are glass and ceramic. The types of fuses include long-time-lag or super-time-lag (TT), fast-acting fuses (FF), quick-blow fuses (F) and slow-blow or time-lag fuses (T). 

Fuses at Work

A current can become corrupted or overloaded due to accidental damage from pets or being moved, general deterioration, excessive overloading of the electrical system or exposure to the elements. If you have a fixture outdoors, the fuse may need replacing more often due to the harsh environment the tiny workhorse endures on a daily basis. Generally, a current overload happens from a temporary surge from a motor starting up or too many items on the same line. The fuse holds back the overcurrent from reaching the appliance. The body – or barrel – has a plated copper or brass tip – or terminal – at each end of the fuse. The element connects the terminals. The element is made of zinc, copper, aluminum or silver.
