## ⚙️ Key Features

-   6A rating, the lowest of the fuses in this group
-   63 DPX applications
-   Cables and Fuses group

## 🔌 Function

Protects its circuit by breaking the supply if the current exceeds its rating.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Protected circuit dead with the fuse open
-   Fuse tripping again soon after reset
-   Terminals corroded or discoloured
-   Fuse warm in normal running
-   Circuit working intermittently with vibration

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Its published weight of 0.043 kg is higher than that of the 50A 3854164, so the weights in this group do not track the rating - order strictly by the amperage marking
-   Never substitute a higher rated fuse in a 6A position - the rating is there to protect the thin cable behind it
