Fuse Holder 20mm

Description

5mm x 20mm Panel Mount Fuse Holder The 5mm x 20mm Panel Mount Fuse Holder is an essential electrical safety component designed to protect electronics and appliances from overcurrent and short-circuit damage. Engineered for convenience and safety, this chassis-mountable socket houses a standard glass or ceramic cartridge fuse. It features a rugged, impact-resistant plastic body, a secure screw-on cap for easy tool-less fuse replacement, and heavy-duty solder tab terminals on the rear for stable wiring. Key Features Compatible Fuse Size: Fits standard 5mm x 20mm (0.2″ x 0.79″) glass or ceramic cartridge fuses. Electrical Rating: Typically rated up to 10A / 250V AC or 15A / 125V AC (depending on the specific internal fuse used). Mounting Type: Panel/Chassis mount with an integrated securing hex nut and rubber washer to guarantee a flush, vibration-resistant fit. Cap Design: Finger-grip or screwdriver-slot screw cap, allowing quick access to inspect or swap out blown fuses from the exterior of an enclosure.
