Fuses are one of the important components of electronic devices. They are essential to protect the circuits from any kind of short circuit or overload, ensuring the safety of the equipment. The S501–160–R fuse is one such type of fuse which is widely used in various portable applications. It is a time delay type fuse and offers superior protection from short circuits and overloads.

The S501–160–R is a 5x20 mm size fuse which is available in the rated current range from 0.2 to 15 Amp. It is made of a ceramic body, nickel plated brass end caps, and silver plated nickel alloy element which increases its current carrying capacity and ensures a superior performance over other similar type fuses. It has a rated voltage of 250V AC and a clearance and creepage distance of 4mm. Its breaking capacity is 8kA@230VAC and it features an anti-rotation feature which prevents the movement of the fuse during operation.

The S501–160–R fuse is mainly used in portable electronic equipment and appliances such as mobile phones, portable speakers, laptop chargers, security systems, and other electronic equipments. It is also used in automobiles for protection against any sort of electrical malfunctioning. The fuse has a clear indication of a blown fuse with a darkened flag on the top which indicates that the fuse has been activated due to a short circuit or an overload.

The working principle of the S501–160–R fuse is quite simple. The main element of the fuse which is the silver plated nickel alloy element acts as a switch to break the circuit when the current flow exceeds a certain level. When the current reaches the rated current value, heat is generated around the element due to resistance. This heat causes the element to melt and create an open circuit, thereby cutting off the power supply and protecting the device.

The S501–160–R fuse offers superior protection to the circuits from short circuits and overloads. The openness of the circuit ensures that any unnecessary current does not flow through the circuit and the chances of any damage to the equipment is minimized. Thus, the S501–160–R fuse is an ideal choice for providing protection for circuits which run on high currents and where safety is of the utmost importance.
