SS-5H-6.3A-APH Circuit Protection

The SS-5H-6.3A-APH is a type of fuse, most commonly used in electronics, telecommunications, and industrial machinery applications. It is often referred to as slow-blow, or time-delay, because its operating characteristics permit a momentary overload that avoids nuisance tripping.

This type of fuse is a type of ceramic fuse, which is composed of an annular ceramic body containing encapsulated copper strips sealed to the ends with a dark-grey cover. The cover also includes a flammability rating of UL 94V-0 for safety.

The SS-5H-6.3A-APH fuse can be used to protect various types of electrical and electronic circuits from accidental or overcurrents. The fuse is used in applications where it is necessary to protect against overcurrents of up to 6.3 amperes. The fuse features a breaking capacity of 5 kA at 220 volts AC, making it suitable for use in circuits carrying up to 20 amperes.

The SS-5H-6.3A-APH fuse works by creating a low-resistance path between two contact points when the current through the fuse exceeds a predetermined amount. This triggers an internal mechanism that opens the fuse, breaking the circuit and preventing further current. The fuse also contains a thermal element to prevent repeat resetting from frequent low-level current passing.

Since they are designed for use in a variety of devices, the SS-5H-6.3A-APH fuse has a wide range of safety features. Its design includes a ceramic body to provide superior fire protection; a copper strip integrated into the fuse body to ensure reliable current flow; a galvanized bushing to provide improved corrosion protection; and a metal cover for improved electric insulation.

Because of the current rating of 6.3 amperes, the SS-5H-6.3A-APH fuse is suitable for use in a range of applications, including alarm systems, controllers, digital instruments, medical equipment, power supplies, robotics, and telecommunications. The fuse can also be used in environments that require operation in temperatures ranging from -40 to +125°C.

To ensure proper operation, always check the circuit for proper compatibility with the SS-5H-6.3A-APH fuse. Also, when replacing the fuse, always use one with the same current rating. This will ensure that the fuse can protect the circuit properly without causing damage.
