1. Product Overview

RO16 cylindrical ceramic fuse link is a general-purpose gL low voltage overcurrent protection component with universal 14mm × 51mm outer dimension, specially designed to fit RT18-63, RT14 and RT19 modular DIN rail fuse bases.

This series supports wide current grades from 2A up to 63A, with 500V rated voltage and 50kA high short-circuit breaking capacity. Constructed with flame-retardant white ceramic housing, precision melting wire and anti-rust silver-plated copper end caps, it meets IEC269 and VDE0636 international safety standards. Each packing box includes 20 pieces, ideal for factory bulk procurement, industrial distribution cabinets, machine tool control panels and building electrical circuits.

2. Core Product Features

1. Standard 14×51mm Universal Size

Standard dimension perfectly compatible with mainstream fuse bases:
  • RT18-63 DIN rail modular fuse holder
  • RT14 panel mount cartridge fuse socket
  • RT19 industrial fuse base

    No modification needed for replacement, widely interchangeable for most European standard low voltage distribution systems.

2. Full Complete Current Range (2A ~ 63A)

All common industrial specifications in stock:

2A / 4A / 6A / 10A / 16A / 20A / 25A / 32A / 40A / 50A / 63A

Covers light instrument circuits, lighting loops, pump/fan motor branch circuits and heavy main distribution branch protection. Custom non-standard current values available on bulk orders.

3. gL General Purpose Protection Characteristic

gL class fuse characteristic offers dual protection:
  • Slow overload melting to avoid nuisance blow under normal transient load surge
  • Instant short-circuit breaking within milliseconds to block huge fault current, protect wires, contactors and loads from burnout

    Suitable for all general resistive and inductive low voltage AC circuits.

4. 50kA High Breaking Capacity

High-performance quartz sand arc-quenching filler inside ceramic tube, can safely extinguish short-circuit current up to 50kA, greatly improving safety of distribution cabinets during severe short circuit faults.

5. Fireproof Ceramic Tube & Anti-Corrosion Copper Caps

  • High temperature resistant insulating ceramic shell: Non-flammable, no cracking or melting during fault blowout
  • Silver-plated solid copper end caps: Low contact resistance, anti-oxidation, stable conduction under long full-load operation
  • Sealed internal quartz sand filler to suppress electric arc spread

6. International Standard Certification

Strictly manufactured in accordance with IEC269 and VDE0636 electrical standards, passed third-party temperature rise and breaking capacity tests, eligible for export industrial electrical projects worldwide.

7. Bulk Packing Advantage

Standard carton contains 20 pieces of same-spec fuses, convenient for factory stock management and bulk wholesale with favorable volume pricing, formal invoicing support for enterprise purchases.

3. Working Conditions

This RO16 cartridge fuse delivers stable protection performance under standard indoor industrial environments:
  1. Ambient operating temperature: -10℃ ~ +60℃
  2. Application Environment: Indoor enclosed distribution cabinets, machine tool control rooms; not for long-term outdoor splash or heavy salt fog marine use

6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Which fuse holder can RO16 match?

RO16 14×51mm fuse core is fully compatible with RT18-63 DIN rail base, RT14 panel socket and RT19 industrial fuse base, the most universal replacement fuse for European standard low voltage distribution.

2. What does gL stand for?

gL means general purpose fuse characteristic, designed for protecting cables, wires and common industrial loads, balancing anti-nuisance tripping under overload and fast cut-off during short circuit.

3. How to select the right current rating?

Choose fuse rated current 1.2~1.5 times the continuous working current of protected circuit, reserve margin for normal startup surge while maintaining overload protection sensitivity.

4. What is the advantage of 50kA breaking capacity?

Higher breaking capacity can safely extinguish huge instantaneous short-circuit current, prevent electric arc leakage, cabinet burnout and fire hazards when serious short circuit occurs in distribution system.

5. Can this fuse be used outdoors?

Not recommended. Its ceramic tube sealing is designed for indoor cabinet use, long-term outdoor rain, moisture and salt fog will corrode copper caps and affect fuse performance.

6. How many fuses in one box?

Standard packing specification is 20 identical-spec fuses per blue carton, supporting large order quantity discounts.
