Legrand 010202 Cylindrical Safety Fuse 5x20mm 0.2A 250V

The Legrand 010202 is a high-quality cylindrical safety fuse designed to provide reliable overcurrent protection for electrical circuits. Measuring 5x20mm, this component is engineered with a durable ceramic body to ensure safety and performance in various electronic and industrial applications. It is designed to react instantly to electrical faults, effectively safeguarding sensitive equipment from potential damage caused by power surges or short circuits.

Advantages

This fuse features a high rupture capacity of 1500 Amps, allowing it to handle significant electrical stress safely. Its ceramic construction offers superior thermal stability compared to glass alternatives, making it a robust choice for demanding environments. By conforming to international EN/IEC 60127-2 standards, it guarantees consistent quality and compatibility with professional electrical installations.

Suitable for

• Dimmers and lighting control systems
• Viking terminal blocks
• Emergency lighting units
• Electrical transformers
• General electronic circuit protection

When it may not be suitable

This fuse is not intended for high-voltage applications exceeding 250V or circuits requiring a current rating higher than 0.2A. It should not be used in environments where a slow-blow fuse is specifically required, as this is an instant-reaction component.

Key specifications

• Dimensions: 5x20mm
• Current rating: 0.2 Amps
• Voltage rating: 250 Volts
• Rupture capacity: 1500 Amps
• Body material: Ceramic
• Response type: Instant reaction

How to use

To install the fuse, ensure the power supply to the circuit is completely disconnected. Locate the fuse holder within your device or terminal block and remove the old or damaged fuse. Insert the Legrand 010202 into the holder, ensuring it is seated firmly. Once installed, restore the power supply and verify that the device operates correctly. If the fuse blows again immediately, inspect the circuit for underlying faults before attempting another replacement.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 0.2A current rating matches the requirements of your specific device.
• Ensure the 5x20mm physical dimensions are compatible with your existing fuse holder.
• Check that the operating voltage of your circuit does not exceed 250V.

Usage recommendations: Always replace a blown fuse with one of the exact same rating and type to maintain the safety integrity of your electrical system. Never attempt to bypass or bridge a fuse, as this poses a significant fire and safety risk.
