Eaton 6A British Standard Fuse A2 550V ac, 73 mm

Take a break from short circuits and overcurrents with this British standard fuse from Eaton. It's designed to cut power when an electrical fault occurs, throwing itself under the bus to protect your equipment from damage. The component comes with handy offset brackets that you can latch onto fuse holders with bolts, saving on installation time and effort. Thanks to compact dimensions of 13.7 (D) x 35.5mm (L), you can rest assured that it won't get in the way in tight setups. The fuse is gL/gG rated, so it's your all-around companion for low-voltage applications, from consumer electronics to switchgear equipment.

• Voltage rating of 500V AC for use in low-voltage applications

This fuse has a 6A current rating, making it your go-to for low-current-consuming applications.

This is a sacrificial device, so is destroyed when it saves your downstream equipment from overcurrent. After a trip, you'll need to install a new fuse to complete your circuit again.
