The time-delay design allows brief inrush currents to pass without nuisance opening, making it well suited for electronic circuits and loads with high startup currents. The cylindrical, non-rejection body is constructed from ceramic and measures 1.25 inches in length and 0.25 inches in diameter. Ferrule-style terminals with nickel-plated brass contacts provide reliable clip-mount installation. Interrupting rating is 750 amps at 250 VAC and 10 kiloamps at 125 VAC. The GSA12 carries both UL and CSA approvals for use in North American applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GSA12 is intended for use in electronic equipment, control panels, and circuit boards where overcurrent protection is required on high-current branches. The time-delay characteristic suits applications where motor starts, transformer inrush, or capacitor charging create temporary current spikes above the rated value. Clip-style mounting fits standard fuse holders designed for the 0.25-inch by 1.25-inch form factor commonly found in residential and light commercial electronic control assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTime-delay (slow-blow) characteristic handles temporary inrush without nuisance tripping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12 amp current rating at 250 volts AC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInterrupting rating of 750 amps at 250 VAC and 10 kiloamps at 125 VAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCeramic cylindrical body, 1.25 inches long by 0.25 inches in diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNickel-plated brass ferrule terminals for clip-mount fuse holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUL and CSA listed for North American service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement for miniature ceramic tube fuses in the standard 0.25-inch by 1.25-inch form factor used in electronic control circuits and clip-mount fuse holders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified electrician or electronics technician in accordance with the NEC and applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines. Always de-energize and lockout the circuit before removing or installing a fuse. Verify that the replacement fuse matches the original current rating, voltage rating, and time-delay characteristics specified on the equipment nameplate. Do not substitute a fast-act fuse where a time-delay type is specified, as this can result in nuisance openings on inrush-heavy circuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 250 VAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterrupting Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 750 amps at 250 VAC; 10 kiloamps at 125 VAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharacteristics\u003c\/strong\u003e: Time Delay\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTerminal Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ferrule\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ceramic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nickel Plated Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cylindrical, Non-Rejection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Clip\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApprovals\u003c\/strong\u003e: UL, CSA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/strong\u003e: CN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MERSEN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: GSA12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERSEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51284044185906,"sku":"GSA12","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/309279663.jpg?v=1781067049","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/mersen-gsa12-miniature-time-delay-fuse-12a-250vac","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
