Eaton 13A F Ceramic Cartridge Fuse, 6.3 x 25mm

This range of fuses from Cooper Bussmann are fast acting with high rapture capacity. They are suitable for various different uses, providing reliable performance and cost-effective circuit protection. They are ideal for use in plugs to protect cables from melting or catching fire if they are overloaded.

Why choose a ceramic fuse?
Ceramic fuses, in comparison to glass fuses, often have a higher current capacity. Ceramic fuses are popular in household applications, such as appliances. These fuses are opaque and often contain sand which is use to prevent a conductive film from forming on the fuse. Glass fuses are often the most reliable option.

What is HBC?
HBC stands for high breaking current and refers to the maximum current that the fuse can handle without breaking. It is also known as HRC (High Rupturing Capacity).

What size is it?
This range of fuses are 6.3 x 25, meaning they are 25mm long and 6.3mm in diameter.

What Speed is it?
These 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.

IEC 269-3A

This F speed cartridge fuse from Eaton is fast-acting, so it blows quickly when an overload occurs. Use it in an electrical plug to protect a device from overheating or catching fire. It has a tough ceramic body and a high rupture capacity (HRC) of 6kA, so it can safely stop an overcurrent that's considerably higher than the normal operating current of the circuit.
Use this fuse in low-voltage domestic, commercial and industrial applications and with a wide range of electrical appliances including kettles and washing machines.

• Comes in a pack of 10 so you can keep spares to hand
• Nickel-plated endcaps are conductive and resistant to rust, for effective and reliable use
• Ceramic body offers high thermal stability

Yes – it has a cartridge size of 6.3mm in diameter and 25mm in length, so it fits easily and securely into standard fuse clips and holders. It's important to check that the current and voltage ratings are suitable for your application before installation.
