S505-10-R

Fuses provide a means of protecting electrical equipment and installations from potential damage caused by electrical overloads and short circuits. The S505-10-R is a type of fuse designed to provide overload and short circuit protection in low-voltage, miniature circuit breakers, trip outs and similar applications.

The S505-10-R is a surface mounting fuse with a rated voltage of 10 Volts (Vdc). It is constructed from a molded thermoplastic housing with an open wire loop system for connecting the circuit load and safety device. The internal components of the fuse include a ceramic body, silver-plated contact points, a steel rivet, and a nickel-plated steel latch.

The S505-10-R has an integrated temperature-sensitive trip-out and a spring-loaded push-button reset. The trip-out feature activates when temperatures reach a certain threshold, breaking the circuit and preventing further current flow. The reset button can be used to reset the trip-out feature and restore the circuit to its pre-trip state.

The S505-10-R can be used in a variety of applications, such as providing overcurrent or short-circuit protection for electronic equipment and industrial systems, as well as electronic controls and automation systems. It is also suitable for use in fuse holders and other types of housing. In addition, the S505-10-R satisfies a wide range of international safety standards, including UL and CSA listings.

The working principle of the S505-10-R is straightforward. When the current flowing through the circuit exceeds its rated value, the heat generated by the resistance of the fusible element causes the fusible element to melt and the circuit breaker trips, interrupting the current flow. The trip-out will also activate when the internal temperature reaches a certain threshold.

The S505-10-R is a reliable and efficient solution for protecting electronic equipment from potential damage due to electrical overloads and short circuits. It is strong and durable, is UL-listed and meets a range of international safety standards, making it the ideal choice for a variety of applications.
