Product Overview
Axial Lead Glass Cartridge Fuse, 1A at 250V, Solders Straight Into the Board
Condition
Used. The listed grade is Used and in good cosmetic shape, with normal-use scuffs, scratches, and minor wear. In these photographs the glass body is clear and the filament is visible end to end, the metal end caps are bright with no discoloration or pitting, and the axial leads are straight, untrimmed, and free of visible solder. The glass is marked 1A 250V with the code 224, and the close-up end-cap shots show LITTELFUSE stamped around the cap face. Laid against the metric ruler in the final photo, the fuse spans approximately 9 cm from lead tip to lead tip, so there is plenty of wire to trim to your own spacing. Sold one fuse at a time; the group photo shows representative stock.

Product Overview
This is an axial lead glass cartridge fuse rated 1A at 250V in a 5x15mm body, built to open a low- or medium-voltage circuit before the overcurrent reaches anything expensive. Unlike a clip-mounted cartridge fuse, this version carries long axial wire leads, so it solders directly into a printed circuit board or splices inline on a harness with no fuse holder required. The glass envelope is printed 1A 250V 224 and stays transparent, which means a technician can check the filament by eye instead of pulling a meter out. Close-up photos of the end cap show a LITTELFUSE stamp around the rim. Interrupting rating, blow characteristic (fast-acting versus time-delay), and agency approvals are not confirmed here - verify against the manufacturer datasheet before use in a safety-critical circuit.
Key Features
- Rated current: 1A
- Maximum voltage: 250V
- Body size: 5x15mm, excluding leads - measured against the metric ruler in the photos
- Construction: glass cartridge with nickel-plated brass end caps
- Mounting: axial wire leads, solderable, supplied long and untrimmed
- Glass body marking: 1A 250V 224
- End cap marking visible in the photos: LITTELFUSE
- Overall length in the ruler photo: approximately 9 cm lead tip to lead tip
- Blow characteristic and interrupting rating: not confirmed - verify against the datasheet before use
Applications
- Repair technician replacing a board-mounted fuse in a piece of consumer audio or test gear where the original was soldered in, not clipped
- Instrument builder adding a 1A limit to a low-power lighting or sensor board without finding room for a fuse holder
- Restorer of small appliances who needs an inline fuse spliced into a lead rather than mounted on a panel
- Prototyper who wants a visible, replaceable fail point on the bench supply feeding a new circuit
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a fast-acting or a time-delay fuse?
Not confirmed. The body is printed 1A 250V with the code 224 and nothing on the part states the blow characteristic. If your circuit has inrush current or a transformer primary, check the manufacturer datasheet for the marking before you install it.
Do I get the group of fuses shown in the first photo?
No. This listing sells one fuse. The first photo shows several units from the same stock so you can see how consistent they are; the individual photos show what actually ships.
How long are the leads, and can I cut them?
The leads arrive long, straight, and untrimmed - against the metric ruler the whole part is roughly 9 cm from tip to tip. Trim them to your board spacing or leave them long for an inline splice. Nothing is pre-formed, so the choice is yours.
What does the Used condition grade mean for this fuse?
It means the part is graded Used and in good cosmetic shape with normal wear. Nothing here records how it was sourced or whether it was ever installed. Electrical continuity is not tested here. What you see in the photos is what the part looks like.
Why buy a single fuse here instead of a bulk pack of 10 or 50?
Because a repair usually needs one fuse, not a box of them. PartsMine sells the exact quantity you need, so you are not carrying 49 spares for a single blown circuit. Shipping is $8 flat rate and free over $28, and orders leave Idaho the same or next business day.
A fuse is the one component in the drawer engineered to fail on purpose, and the glass body means you get to watch it keep that promise. Trim the leads to your spacing and let this little 1A stand guard over the circuit you actually care about.
