# Fuse 5mm 125VAC 5A

**Type:** Product page · **SKU:** COM-09772 · **Brand:** [Sparkfun](https://core-electronics.com.au/brands/sparkfun-australia)
**Page:** https://core-electronics.com.au/fuse-5mm-125vac-5a.html ([markdown](https://core-electronics.com.au/fuse-5mm-125vac-5a.html.md))

This is a glass ferrule type fuse. It fits great with our 5mm fuse clips. The fuse is rated for 125VAC, up to 5A. Fuses are pretty simple, if more than 5A pass through the fuse, the small filament inside the fuse heats up and breaks (like a light bulb burning out). The circuit is then broken and hopefully your circuit is saved from molten destruction.

## Pricing

- **Price:** $0.98 (inc GST) — $0.89 AUD, exc GST
- **Quantity discounts:** 5+ $0.86 (exc GST) · 25+ $0.85 (exc GST) · 100+ $0.81 (exc GST)

## Availability & dispatch

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=COM-09772:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/COM-09772:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

This is a glass ferrule type fuse. It fits great with our 5mm fuse clips. The fuse is rated for 125VAC, up to 5A. Fuses are pretty simple, if more than 5A pass through the fuse, the small filament inside the fuse heats up and breaks (like a light bulb burning out). The circuit is then broken and hopefully your circuit is saved from molten destruction.

For smaller loads, you may want to checkout a [PTC (aka resettable fuse)](https://core-electronics.com.au/resettable-fuse-ptc.html). These handle less current (500mA) but can be set and reset many times without doing harm to your system.

**Features:**

- 5A max @ 125VAC
- Glass Cartridge
 
**Dimensions:** 5 x 20mm
