Why choose a glass fuse?
Glass and ceramic fuses have similar properties. However you may choose a glass fuse as it enables you to see the inside of the fuse. Therefore it is easier to determine whether the fuse has blown.

What Speed is it?
This particular fuse is “F” speed rated which means it is a fast acting fuse, fast-acting fuses are used to protect cabling from melting or catching fire when an overload happens. These fuses are used on less sensitive components. Fast -acting fuses are the most common type of fuse.

What is Breaking Capacity?
Breaking capacity is the level of current that the fuse can safely handle without exploding or rupturing. The breaking capacity of your fuse should be greater than the fault current of your electronic circuit. This particular fuse is LBC (Low Breaking Capacity).
