The fast-acting, current-limiting design delivers rapid fault interruption, reducing downstream damage and improving overall system uptime. Business impact: minimized downtime and safer startup sequences in automation cabinets; application: protection of control circuits in conveyors, pumps, and motor drives. The rejection-style mechanism prevents incorrect fuse installation in fuse blocks, reducing field errors and warranty claims; application: panel assemblies with limited clearance and mixed fuse types. Ferrule-end connections ( ferrule end x ferrule end ) ensure secure, vibration-resistant terminations; business impact: reliable maintenance and quicker replacements in harsh environments; application: standard Bussmann blocks and compact enclosures. The Class G rating and 6 A nominal rating deliver precise protection without nuisance trips; business impact: stable control logic and predictable trip curves; application: low- to mid-current control circuits in automation. RoHS compliance and standard packaging streamline sourcing, inventory, and regulatory alignment; application: mixed-fleet deployments across global facilities. The 1.31 in length and 0.41 in width/height enable easy integration into compact panels; business impact: space-efficient protection with universal compatibility; application: retrofit projects and new builds alike.

FAQs
SC-6 is a Class G, current-limiting fuse with ferrule end connections designed for Bussmann series panels. It fits standard fuse blocks and controls up to 6 A with a 1.31 in length, enabling straightforward swapping in existing control cabinets and instrumentation enclosures. Its rejection style helps ensure correct installation in compatible holders.
The SC-6 fuse is rated for 6 A with a voltage rating of 600 Vac and 170 Vdc. It provides an interrupt rating of 100 kAIC at 600 Vac and 10 kAIC at 170 Vdc, offering robust protection for motor drives, sensors, and control circuits without excessive voltage drop or premature tripping in normal operation.
Yes, the SC-6 fuse is RoHS compliant, meaning it meets environmental and safety standards restricting hazardous substances in electrical components. This helps streamline regulatory approvals and packaging waste considerations in electronics assemblies, supports sustainable manufacturing practices, and simplifies procurement for global facilities.
Best suited for protection of control panels, automation equipment, and low-to-mid-current circuits in industrial environments. Its fast-acting design minimizes damage from short circuits, while the current-limiting feature reduces fault energy. Applications include conveyors, pumps, machine controllers, and power distribution blocks in automation and process industries.
Plan for ferrule-end x ferrule-end connections and a compact footprint (1.31 in length, 0.41 in width/height). Use standard packaging and mounting in compatible Bussmann blocks. The rejection-style design helps prevent misinsertion, improving reliability in panel assemblies. Ensure the panel space accommodates 600 Vac circuits and the device’s current rating to avoid nuisance trips.
