Product Overview
The 0685T4000-01 is a 4A, 63V surface mount slow blow chip fuse from Bel Fuse Inc.’s C1T series. Housed in a 1206 (3216 metric) ceramic package, this fuse provides overcurrent protection with a time-delay (slow blow) characteristic that tolerates inrush currents while protecting against sustained overloads. The -01 suffix indicates tape and reel packaging with 5000 pieces per 7-inch reel. The device is AEC-Q200 qualified, making it suitable for automotive and industrial applications.
