S506-12.5-R

Fuses are a type of electrical component that operates as a protective device against overloads or short circuits in a circuit circuit when too high an electrical current passes through. The S506-12.5-R is an example of a fuse that is designed to handle high surge currents to protect onboard electronics, industrial applications, and other electrical systems.

Design and Construction

The S506-12.5-R is a glass tube fuse that has been designed to meet the requirements of UL 248-14, CSA Certification, and ROHS. It is constructed of high-quality semiconductor ceramic core materials with brass end caps. The product has an impedance value of less than 2 ohms, and a surge rating of 1,000 Amps. Key advantages of this product are its fast response time, long cycle life, and superior insulation properties.

Application Fields and Working Principles

The S506-12.5-R fuse is typically used for protective and controlled current applications. The product can be used in a wide range of industrial environments to protect against short circuits and overloads. This includes applications such as electronics, instrumentation, motor control, plant lighting, and electrical appliances. The product is also suited for automotive, solar, and alternative energy applications.

The working principle of the S506-12.5-R fuse is relatively simple. The product contains a high-temperature sensing element that is activated when the electrical current exceeds the device’s rated capacity. The sensing element then quickly trips, causing the fuse to break the circuit. After the circuit is broken, the fuse should be replaced in order to continue to provide effective protection.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the S506-12.5-R is a glass tube fuse designed to safely protect against high surge currents in a variety of industrial and automotive applications. With its fast response time, long cycle life, and superior insulation properties, this fuse is an ideal choice for protecting onboard electronics, industrial equipment, and other electrical systems.
