S501-500-R

Fuses

The S501-500-R is a fuse, which is an electrical component that works as a protective device to protect an electrical circuit from overloading. It is designed to stop the flow of too much power into a circuit by opening the circuit when the power, or current, reaching it exceeds a predetermined amount. The S501-500-R is a medium-speed, especially designed, radial leaded, single-ended, low-resistance, time-delay fuse.

Application Field

The S501-500-R is designed to protect short circuit and overloads. It can be found in a wide range of applications such as industrial, commercial and residential applications. It is especially ideal for applications where the power supply is likely to be interrupted frequently. Typical applications include motor control circuits, consumer electronics, industrial control systems, and automotive circuitry, among others.

Working Principle

A fuse works by limiting the amount of current that can flow through a circuit. It does this by having a section of wire within the fuse body that melts when too much current is applied to it. This then causes an intrinsic connection between the two terminals of the fuse to break, thus opening the circuit. The fuse will remain open until it is replaced with a new one. The S501-500-R is a low-resistance, time-delay fuse, which means that it is designed to initially allow a higher current to flow before the wire melts and the circuit is opened.

The S501-500-R has a thermal fuse element that is constructed from a sintered nickel-based alloy. This helps ensure reliability and a long-term durability. The fuse also has a recessed indicator, which helps to identify the current condition of the fuse. This helps to minimize the possibility of using a false fuse, which could result in circuit damage.

Overall, the S501-500-R is a reliable and cost-efficient fuse, which can be used in a wide range of applications. It is designed to be able to handle a high current demand, while also providing protection against short circuits and overloads. Additionally, it is easy to install and contains a recessed indicator, to help identify the current condition of the fuse.
