Eaton AGU-40GP Fuse - Fast-Acting, Gold Endcaps
Part Number: AGU-40GP
Quick Summary
The Eaton AGU-40GP fuse provides fast-acting overcurrent protection for control panels and power circuits. Too often, selecting the wrong fuse leads to nuisance trips, wasted maintenance time, and downtime during critical production. In practice, CE and UL certifications are commonly required for European and North American markets, while robust enclosures and mechanical protection reduce exposure to dust, moisture, and vibration. Using the Bussmann AGU series ensures compatibility with standard 13/32 × 1-1/2 in form-factor holders, and the gold-plated endcaps promote reliable terminations in high-vibration environments. This combination delivers dependable protection with simplified replacement and predictable maintenance within industrial automation and AV power systems.

FAQs
The AGU-40GP uses the standard AGU form factor (13/32 x 1-1/2 in) and is designed to fit conventional 13/32 x 1-1/2 in fuse holders found in industrial control panels and power distribution enclosures. This compatibility reduces installation time and minimizes the need for special adapters, making field replacements straightforward in retrofit and new-build projects alike.
Best-suited applications include industrial control panels, motor drives, servo systems, and power distribution cabinets where fast-acting protection is required. The 40 A rating supports medium-to-high current circuits, while the gold-plated endcaps and non-indicating design simplify installation and lifecycle management in AV equipment and high-end electronics within manufacturing environments.
A 40 A rating provides a clear protection threshold for typical control circuits and motor loads, preventing nuisance tripping on transient conditions while still interrupting severe faults. This balance reduces unplanned downtime, protects sensitive electronics, and lowers replacement costs by avoiding collateral damage to upstream components during fault events.
CE and UL-style considerations are commonly expected for global deployment of protection devices like the AGU-40GP. Verify that the specific lot or shipment carries the appropriate regional certifications for your market, and consult the product datasheet or distributor to confirm compliance notes, installation guidance, and any country-specific labeling requirements relevant to your installation site.
Expect reduced maintenance overhead from a non-indicating fuse that simplifies stock control and faster field replacements. The 5.5 in length and standard form factor minimize downtime during swap-outs, while gold-plated endcaps enhance reliability in vibration-prone environments. Overall, you gain improved uptime, predictable protection, and lower operational costs in high-throughput production or AV equipment setups.
