Description
The versions cover SMD fuse links for electronic circuits up to 305 V AC and for 500 V, cylindrical 5×20, 6.3×32 and 10×38 mm, and also variants with pressed-on GZAK caps, axial leads and on tape. The body is often ceramic. The operating characteristics FF, F, M, T and TT range from very fast to very slow. For measuring instruments there are 5×20 mm FF (aR) for 660 and 1000 V with a breaking capacity of 100 kA, 6.3×32 mm FF for 500 V and 50 kA, and FF (aR) DC 1000 V for 30 kA. For meters, 5×20 mm FF 250 V / 1500 A and 125 V / 10 kA are made. Fuse links of 32–100 mA are intended for intrinsically safe circuits in hazardous areas. The fuses work on AC and DC in solar plant inverters, UPS, emergency lighting, meters per IEC 62053, IEC 61557, MID and EN 60127, and CAT I–IV multimeters per IEC 61010.
How to choose
The choice starts with the body size, rated current and operating characteristic. For ordinary electronics at AC 600 V take the 7009463 series, that is, GZ 6.3×32 mm, F, 0.2–10 A. If you need a very fast fuse link for AC 600/900 V and 0.5–16 A, look at 7009440 (GZ/GZAK, FF). For battery systems at DC 1000 V and above there are separate BESS aBat / gBat series with a breaking capacity of up to 260 kA.

FAQ
What is the current range of GS miniature fuses?
The rated current is from 32 mA to 32 A. Fuse links of 32–100 mA are intended for intrinsically safe circuits.
What sizes of GS fuses exist?
SMD and cylindrical 5×20, 6.3×32 and 10×38 mm. There are also GZAK versions with pressed-on caps, with axial leads and on tape.
What is the breaking capacity of GS fuses?
Up to 100 kA for 5×20 mm FF (aR) at AC/DC 660–1000 V. For 6.3×32 mm FF at 500 V it is 50 kA.
How do the FF, F, M, T and TT characteristics differ?
FF are very fast, F fast, M medium time-lag, T time-lag, TT very slow. This determines whether the fuse link will withstand the inrush current.
Are GS fuses suitable for meters and multimeters?
Yes. For meters there are 5×20 mm FF 250 V / 1500 A and 125 V / 10 kA, and multimeters of categories CAT I–IV per IEC 61010 are protected by 5×20 mm FF (aR) fuse links.
