BK-S505SCH-5-R

Fuses are essential components for the safety of many electronics systems. Fuses interrupt the flow of over-voltage current to prevent short circuits and other electrical malfunctions. One such fuse is the BK-S505SCH-5-R, a fast-acting fuse with a 5A rating. It is commonly used in a range of electronic products, from consumer electronics to audio/video equipment.

The BK-S505SCH-5-R fuse has an interrupting rating of 500A at 250VAC and 600A at 125VAC (110/140VDC). It has a melting I2t value of 1.2A2s at 250VAC. The fuse meets UL 248-14 standards for electronic fuses and is suitable for overcurrent protection in both primary and secondary circuits. It is housed in an Axial Leaded Ceramic Tube with a lanyard loop for easy handling and removal.

The BK-S505SCH-5-R fuse’s applications include consumer electronics, audio/video equipment, computer systems, telecommunications equipment, HVAC equipment, lighting control systems, power supplies, medical equipment, and many other devices and instruments. Its fast-acting nature makes it particularly well-suited for protecting circuit breakers, switches, control devices, and other devices from high inrush currents caused by load switching or short circuits.

The working principle of the BK-S505SCH-5-R fuse is simple. The current is allowed to flow through the fuse element until it reaches the rated current. At this point, the fuse element is designed to heat up and melt, interrupting the flow of current. This would prevent damage to equipment or cause less damage if the current had been much higher than the rated current.

The BK-S505SCH-5-R is a fast-acting, UL-listed fuse that is well-suited for protecting devices from overcurrents. It is commonly used in a range of applications, from consumer electronics to medical equipment. Its fast-acting design and ability to handle high inrush currents make it a reliable choice for overcurrent protection.
