Fuse Specifications
The Bussmann S501-50-R is a ceramic fuse rated at 50 mA and 250 V AC with a breaking capacity of 1.5 kA. It belongs to the S501 series and features a fast-acting, non-indicating design with a cylindrical ceramic body measuring 20 mm in length and 5 mm in diameter. The pack contains five fuses suitable for line protection applications.
Suitable Use Cases
These fuses suit technicians and engineers who need fast-acting overcurrent protection for low-current circuits up to 50 mA. They are not intended for buyers who require a visual indication that the fuse has operated, nor for circuits exceeding the 250 V AC rating or the 1.5 kA interrupt rating. Installers needing a rejection-style fuse or a different body material should look at alternative series.
Critical Rating
The interrupt rating of 1.5 kA at 250 V AC is the single specification that decides whether this fuse will safely clear a fault in your circuit. Verify that the prospective short-circuit current at the installation point does not exceed this value before fitting the fuse. The fuse also carries CE, CSA and UL Guide JDYX2 certifications for compliance assurance.

Questions about this item
How much heat does a 50 mA ceramic fuse generate when it carries full load all day?
A 50 mA fuse at 250 V AC dissipates only a few milliwatts, so it adds negligible heat inside the enclosure.
What fuse holder or block series is required for the 20 mm × 5 mm cylindrical body?
The compatible series is HTB, which accepts the 20 mm length and 5 mm diameter ceramic cartridge.
Can these fast-acting S501 fuses replace older GDA or 216 series fuses in the same equipment?
Yes, they are listed as equivalent to Bussmann GDA, Littelfuse 216 and Mersen GSD series for direct substitution.
