0697H0500-02

Fuses are control devices used to protect circuits against over-current situations or short circuits. The 0697H0500-02 (also known as the Mersen 6SP2D) is a time-delay, dual-element, 250VAC fuse, designed for use as a main power distribution branch circuit protection device.

The Mersen 6SP2D has been designed to be used in a wide variety of applications. In industrial and mechanical equipment, it can be used for motor control circuits, light/medium-duty power circuits, control panels and battery chargers. It is also suitable for use in commercial equipment such as ovens, microwaves, photocopiers, air conditioners and washing machines.

The 6SP2D utilizes a dual-element design, which means that the fuse’s active element and overload element are connected in series. This enables the overload element to respond faster when current spikes occur, thus protecting the circuit from overload or short circuit damage before the damage can occur. The active element of the fuse is a standard silver or nickel wire, while the overload element is made from a special material such as ceramic or polyethylene.

The 6SP2D is also equipped with a self-resetting bi-metal element for automatic reset after system overloads. This allows the fuse to reset itself after the overload has cleared, allowing the circuit to continue operating without interruption. If an overload persists, the fuse will open and the current will be cut off from the circuit.

The 6SP2D is certified for use in North America, Europe, South Africa, and Australia. It is also UL and CSA certified and meets UL 248-19 requirements. The fuse is constructed with a high-performance plastic body that provides insulation, prevents arcing, and ensures safe operation.

In summary, the Mersen 6SP2D is an ideal fuse for a wide range of applications. Its dual-element design allows for quick response times, while the self-resetting bi-metal element provides automatic reset capability. The fuse is also UL and CSA certified and meets UL 248-19 requirements, ensuring safe and reliable operation.
