Eaton MIC-2 Midget Fuse - 2 A, 100 AIC, CE Marked
Part Number: MIC-2
Quick Summary
MIC-2 from Eaton is a fast-acting micro fuse designed for control circuits and PLC-related electronics in industrial panels. It helps protect sensitive controllers from overcurrent without sacrificing response time, reducing unplanned downtime. While the fuse's CE marking confirms European safety compliance, other certifications such as SIL or IP ratings are not specified for this model. The device's compact ferrule-end design and standard packaging simplify field replacement in crowded control cabinets, while its 2 A rating and 100 AIC interrupt rating at 250 V deliver predictable protection. This combination supports reliable automation reliability and streamlined maintenance, aligning with Bussmann-series components to support efficient panel design and serviceable systems in modern manufacturing.

Eaton Specification Sheet - MIC-2
Fast-acting protection from MIC-2 minimizes damage to controllers by interrupting surges before they propagate. The 2 A rating paired with a 100 AIC interrupt rating at 250 V translates to a robust margin for start-up spikes and transient faults common in automation. In practice, this reduces downtime and extends the life of sensitive control electronics used in PLCs and electronic circuits. Compact ferrule-end connections and a fiber tube with nickel-plated bronze endcaps enable reliable panel mounting and straightforward replacements in crowded enclosures. The 0.47 inch length and standard packaging fit tight spaces while providing consistent electrical contact, supporting quick swaps during maintenance windows, with minimal spare parts and streamlined stocking. Non-indicating design minimizes visual noise in instrumentation panels, while CE marking supports compliant deployments across European operations. In modern automation contexts, the MIC-2 pairs well with Bussmann-series components for cohesive protection and simplified procurement.

FAQs
MIC-2 uses ferrule-end connections on both ends and a standard packaging format, designed for quick field replacement in control panels. Its small 0.47 in footprint fits tight spaces, while the nickel-plated bronze endcaps ensure reliable current collection in harsh environments. This compatibility with Bussmann-series components simplifies stocking and reduces downtime during replacements.
MIC-2 is a 2 A, 250 V fast-acting fuse with a 100 AIC interrupt rating, meaning it can interrupt high fault currents safely. The fast-acting behavior minimizes voltage drop and protects sensitive electronics in PLCs and control circuits from transient surges. The CE marking reinforces safety and standard compliance across European markets.
Yes. The 2 A rating is appropriate for low-current control circuits and PLC inputs, where fast protection is crucial to prevent damage from surges. The 100 AIC interrupt rating provides a robust fault-clearing capability, while the small form factor enables placement in compact control cards and operator panels. This makes MIC-2 a reliable choice for panel designers.
MIC-2 carries CE Marked compliance, indicating adherence to European safety standards. There are no other listed certifications in the provided spec. For organizations requiring additional approvals, verify inclusion in your internal compliance matrix and cross-check with Eaton's official datasheets to confirm applicability for your region or industry.
Plan for standard replacement during preventive maintenance, using the catalog MIC-2 from Eaton Bussmann series. The non-indicating fuse reduces panel complexity, and the ferrule-end design allows quick swaps without specialized tools. Keep a stock of MIC-2 in the recommended rating to avoid mismatched trip characteristics and ensure consistent protection across devices in your automation ecosystem.
