SIBA 500mA FF Ceramic Cartridge Fuse, 6.3 x 32mm

A fuse is nothing more than a short length of wire designed to melt and separate in the event of excessive current. They have been used as crucial safety devices from the early days of electrical engineering. They are often abbreviated to ADS (Automatic Disconnection of Supply).In any electronics and electrical engineering, a fuse is an electrical safety device that operates to provide overcurrent protection of an electrical circuit. A typical fuse consists of a metal strip or wire fuse element and is arranged in series to carry all the current passing through the protected circuit. The fuse element is usually made of zinc, silver, aluminium, copper or alloys to provide stable and predictable characteristics.

•The capacity of a ceramic fuse is higher than any other fuse
