258GDQSJ10ES

Specialty Fuses

The 258GDQSJ10ES fuse is a medium duty, specialty fuse designed mainly for the electronic control and protection of a wide range of electrical circuits and related equipment. It can perform in both positive and negative applications, providing protection against harmful voltage spikes, overloads, short circuits, and other overvoltage conditions.

Applications

This medium duty, specialty fuse is designed specifically for the automotive, audio, appliance, and lighting industries. It offers protection against current overloads, short circuits, and other voltage spikes or surges in circuits. This fuse is commonly used in security systems, motor starters, home entertainment systems, and audio amplifiers. It is also suitable for general industrial and residential applications.

Working Principle

The 258GDQSJ10ES has a triple element construction that senses current variations in both directions. This fuse works by interrupting current flow when a pre-determined overload or short circuit occurs. It operates by two layers of coiled steel that are separated by a thin insulation layer. When the current flow is interrupted, the main fuse element is heated and by melting it causes the rest of the fuse to open up. This allows the current to be interrupted quickly and effectively.

Advantages

The 258GDQSJ10ES offers a high degree of protection for electrical circuits and related equipment. It offers fast response time and a low temperature rise, ensuring optimal performance and safety. Its triple element construction eliminates the possibility of mismatching of different elements as well as frequent replacement of burnt-out elements. In addition, the fuse’s low temperature rise ensures minimal damage to nearby components.

Certifications

The 258GDQSJ10ES is UL listed and RoHS compliant, meaning that it meets the safety and environmental standards set by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. and the European Union. It also meets the CSA standard and is TUV certified, meaning it has been tested and certified to perform under the most stringent safety and environmental standards.
