Eaton 2A F Melamine Cartridge Fuse, 10 x 38mm

Eaton’s Bussmann series KTK fast-acting supplemental fuses for resistive loads such as control circuits, meter circuits and lighting circuit protection. These cartridge fuses have a melamine tube construction and nickel-plated end caps. For superior protection, Eaton Bussmann recommends upgrading to Low-Peak™ Class CC fuses.

What Speed is it?

These cartridge fuses are “F” speed rated, which is short for Fast Acting. This is also known as fast blow and is popular in general purpose applications. They are designed not to handle current spikes over the rated current.

What size is it?

These cartridge fuses are available in the compact size of 10x38 mm, also known as American Midget style fuses.

What voltage is it?

These cartridge fuses are available with 1 to 30 Amp current ratings for applications where the system voltage rating is 600 Volts AC.

What is Breaking Capacity?

Breaking capacity is the level of current that the fuse can safely handle without exploding or breaking. The breaking capacity of your fuse should be greater than the fault current of your electronic circuit.

What are cartridge fuses used for?

• For the protection of components and equipment from costly damage used by over-current
• To isolate sub-systems from the main system once a fault has appeared

What is an overcurrent?

It is a setting where a circuit experiences a current that is higher than the normal operating current.

• Color coded black for 600Vac voltage rating
• Fast-acting for resistive loads
• Melamine tube construction
• Nickel-plated endcaps
• Cylindrical body

UL listed, CSA certified

Choose this cartridge fuse from the Eaton range to provide short-circuit protection for your appliances. It has a melamine housing that combines durability with heat resistance for optimal performance. Nickel-plated bronze end caps are conductive, corrosion-resistant and make for an easy and reliable connection. With compact dimensions of 10 (diameter) x 38mm (length), this fuse is suitable for setups with limited space. A fuse speed of F (Flink) means it has a quick response to the slightest faults, making it suitable for general-purpose low-voltage applications.

• Light weight of 77g for easy handling
• Breaking capacity of 100kA for safe operation in high current environments
• Compatible with fuse holders for easy installation
• High rupturing capacity (HRC) to handle high and low fault currents

An overcurrent is a condition where the supply or input current is higher than an equipment or circuit's rating. It could lead to overheating and potentially even fire.

A fuse's breaking capacity is the amount of current it can safely handle without breaking or exploding.
