Eaton AGU-5 Fuse - 5 A, 32 V Fast-Acting Ferrule Ends
Part Number: AGU-5
Quick Summary
The Eaton AGU-5 fuse is a fast-acting, low-voltage overcurrent protector for control panels and consumer electronics. In tight panel spaces, reliable protection must combine compact form, quick interruption, and robust connections to minimize downtime. There are no documented certifications in the provided data, so confirm CE, UL, or other regional standards to meet your regulatory requirements. With a 5 A rating at 32 V and ferrule-end connections, this fuse supports straightforward replacement, stable terminations, and long-term reliability in industrial electronics and consumer appliances. Designed for compatibility with standard Bussmann AGU midget fuse formats, it delivers cost-effective protection without compromising performance.

Fast-acting protection is the core advantage of the AGU-5 fuse. With a 5 A amperage rating and a 32 V maximum, the device interrupts faults quickly to limit damage to loads and sensitive electronics. In practice, this translates to shorter fault duration, reduced restart times, and lower downtime in control panels and compact power supplies. Ferrule-end x ferrule-end connections support rapid, reliable terminations. This design reduces miswiring, helps achieve consistent contact pressure, and speeds field service during panel upgrades. The result is more predictable protection performance and fewer anomalous trips in busy industrial environments. The fuse features nickel-plated brass endcaps and silver-plated fuse caps, delivering low contact resistance and improved corrosion resistance. These physical advantages translate into longer service life in humid, dusty, or high-vibration installations. For technicians, this means fewer replacement cycles and more stable operation. As part of the Bussmann midget fuse family, AGU-5 uses a compact 5.5 in long form factor with standard packaging, ideal for space-constrained panels and assemblies common in appliances and consumer electronics. The form factor also supports easy cross-reference with Bussmann catalogs and Eaton datasheets. Compatibility with common fuse holders and mounting configurations found in industrial control gear reduces configuration time and ensures consistent performance when replacing older Bussmann AGU fuses. Engineers appreciate the clear amperage and voltage ratings for accurate protection calibration. Documentation such as the Eaton AGU-5 specification sheet and Bussmann catalogs supports correct selection and compliance planning. Access to the AGU-5 data sheet helps verify fast-acting characteristics and end-cap construction during design reviews.

FAQs
To install the AGU-5, first ensure the holder is compatible with ferrule-end fuses and rated for 5 A at 32 V. Align the ferrule ends with the fuse holder contacts, slide the fuse in fully, and crimp or secure the ferrules per the holder specifications. Verify a solid, vibration-resistant connection and confirm the circuit protection rating matches the load requirements. Proper seating minimizes contact resistance and reduces the chance of intermittent trips during operation.
The AGU-5 fuse provides a 5 A amperage rating and a 32 V voltage rating. It is a fast-acting, non-indicating device designed to interrupt overcurrent events quickly to protect loads. The ferrule-end x ferrule-end connection supports reliable terminations, while nickel-plated brass endcaps help maintain low contact resistance in industrial environments.
Yes. The AGU-5 fuse is specified for appliances and consumer electronics, offering compact, fast-acting protection suitable for low-voltage circuits commonly found in control panels and power supplies. Its 5 A/32 V ratings align with typical consumer electronics protection needs, and ferrule-end terminations simplify field installation in tight spaces.
Prioritize correct ferrule-terminations (x ferrule ends) to ensure consistent contact pressure and reduce resistance. Use nickel-plated brass endcaps to resist corrosion in challenging environments, and select a fuse holder compatible with Bussmann AGU midget fuses for reliable cross-reference and stocking. Verify fuse ratings against actual load currents, and avoid overfusing to prevent nuisance trips.
Key resources include the Eaton Specification Sheet for AGU-5 and the Bussmann series catalogs (no. 1007 full line). Technical datasheets like AGU-5~BUSS MIDGET FUSE FAST ACTING provide fast-acting characteristics, while maintenance bulletins and datasheet links help validate compatibility with existing equipment and replacement cycles.
