Description

When it comes to selecting reliable components for electrical systems, understanding the specifics of each product is crucial. This UL North American-rated component offers a robust solution for various industrial and commercial applications. Let's delve into its key features to see if it aligns with your technical needs. First, consider the rated current of 5 A, making it suitable for moderate power applications where precision and reliability are paramount. The rated voltage stands at an impressive 600 VAC, ensuring compatibility with high-voltage systems typical in industrial environments. This product's dimensions are compact yet effective, with a length of 1.38 inches and a diameter of 0.41 inches. Such size specifications make it versatile for integration into existing setups without requiring significant space adjustments. Installation is straightforward thanks to its clip mounting type, which facilitates quick and secure attachment within electrical assemblies. The terminal type is ferrule, providing a reliable connection that minimizes resistance and enhances performance stability over time. From a materials standpoint, this product utilizes GMG (Glass-Mica-Glass) as both body and insulation material. GMG is known for its excellent thermal stability and dielectric properties, which contribute to the component's durability under demanding conditions. Additionally, the connection/terminal material is tin-plated copper—a choice that balances conductivity with corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term functionality even in harsh environments. The interrupt rating here is notably high at 100 kA. This feature indicates the product's ability to safely handle fault currents up to this level without damage or risk of failure—an essential attribute when considering safety standards in electrical installations. Operating across frequencies of 50/60 Hz provides flexibility for use in different regions or applications where frequency variations might occur due to differing grid standards or equipment requirements. Weighing just 0.016 lb further underscores its suitability for applications where weight constraints might be a consideration without compromising on performance capabilities. In summary, this UL North American-rated component combines high voltage capacity with robust construction materials like GMG and tin-plated copper terminals while maintaining user-friendly installation through clip mounting. Its substantial interrupt rating adds an additional layer of safety assurance—making it an ideal choice for those seeking dependable performance in their electrical systems.
