Eaton German Standard Fuse, aR Application, Offset Tag Type - 170M1367 Need to protect sensitive semiconductor components, such as diodes, thyristors and SCRs, from damage resulting from short circuits? Choose this German Standard fuse from Eaton. It's a fast-acting aR-type fuse that blows in milliseconds in the event of a fault. The offset slotted tags are compatible with many standard electrical distribution panels and let you make a secure connection, even in vibrating equipment. Compact dimensions of 100 (L) x 40 (H) x 21mm (W) minimise heat loss to keep your system running cool. Features & Benefits • Status indicator lets you check easily whether the fuse has blown
• Square body allows for easy handling and quick identification Can I use this fuse to replace a gR type fuse? This aR-type fuse provides protection from short circuits only. It doesn't offer any protection from overcurrent, so it shouldn't be used as a replacement for a gR-type fuse. What's a thyristor? A thyristor is a four-layer semiconductor device that's used as a high-speed switch. Thyristors can replace mechanical relays as they have no moving parts and are therefore more reliable.
