Working Principle

The 067406.5MXE is a time delay fuse. It works by allowing a certain amount of current flow for a certain amount of time before tripping. Its long cycling delay time is beneficial when an circuit is exposed to normal inrush currents and variations in voltage, allowing a safe passage of current while preventing accidental trips. It is also considered a lead slow blow fuse due to its melting characteristics.

Due to its well rounded design the 067406.5 MXE fuse makes it suitable for a variety of applications in a variety of current ratings, from 1A all the way up to 10A.

Conclusion

The 067406.5MXE is a UL 248-14, CSA C22.2 No. 5 and IEC-60269 standards certified, leaded slow-blow fuse designed to protect applications involving direct current circuits and appliances that are sensitive to inrush currents. It is also a time-delay fuse, with the ability to catch normal inrush currents and variations in voltage while preventing accidental trips.
