Special features
Non-indicating
Ferrule design provides secure terminals and easier wiring, reducing installation errors and ensuring consistent current interruption → improves reliability in control panels and automation cabinets. The 2 A amperage rating delivers targeted protection for sensitive circuits while minimizing nuisance trips → boosts equipment availability and reduces unplanned downtime in manufacturing lines. A 10 kAIC interrupt rating ensures fast, clean disconnection of high fault currents → enhances operator safety and protects downstream devices in switchgear assemblies. Non-indicating status minimizes false indicators and maintenance checks while keeping visual dashboards uncluttered → lowers maintenance overhead and simplifies diagnostics in busy automation environments. Class K5 fuse technology provides known, repeatable fuse characteristics for predictable replacement intervals → aids procurement planning and spare-part standardization across plant floors. Standard packaging (10 units) and 5-inch length integrate smoothly with existing Edison fuse holders and stock-keeping strategies → reduces lead times and inventory costs in industrial procurement. Compliant with CE marking and designed for European and North American installations, it supports global automation projects and regulatory alignment, while compatibility with 600 V systems and 2 A protection covers a wide range of low-to-medium power applications.

FAQs
The KOS2 is designed for standard Edison fuse holders and 5 inch long, 0.81 inch wide units, making it ideal for compact control panels and cabinet applications. It uses a ferrule design for secure wiring and a 2 A rating for precise protection, compatible with 600 V systems. Stock in packs of ten to streamline procurement and minimize downtime during replacements.
The 10 kAIC interrupt rating indicates the fuse can safely interrupt fault currents up to 10 kiloamps, protecting downstream components and reducing arc energy in a short-circuit event. This translates to improved panel safety, minimized collateral damage to devices, and greater reliability in motor control centers and switchgear used in demanding industrial environments.
Yes, the KOS2 carries CE marking, aligning with European electrical safety and performance standards. While CSA certification is marked as Not Applicable, the CE compliance supports integration into European equipment and assemblies. Always verify local regulatory requirements for specific installations and ensure compatible panel approvals when integrating with European control systems.
The 5 in length and ferrule design simplify installation by fitting standard Edison fuse holders and providing secure terminal connections. This reduces wiring errors and allows quick replacement during routine maintenance. The 0.81 in width and 0.81 in height keep the device compact for tight control cabinets, while the 2 A rating keeps the protection zone narrowly tailored to sensitive circuits.
Using KOS2 fuses can lower downtime costs by reducing nuisance trips due to precise 2 A protection and robust 10 kAIC interruption. The non-indicating design minimizes maintenance checks, while 10-pack packaging supports rapid stocking and quick replacements. Overall, this translates to shorter outage windows, predictable spare-part usage, and improved line availability in manufacturing environments.
