Product Overview
Littelfuse Ceramic Cartridge Fuse, 10A at 250V, With Long Axial Wire Leads
Condition
Listed as used and in good cosmetic shape, with normal scuffs, scratches, and minor wear. In the photographs the nickel-plated end caps are bright and the ceramic body is off-white with a few faint gray flecks. Both axial wire leads are full length and straight, with no cuts, kinks, or solder residue visible. One cap face is stamped LITTELFUSE MEXICO, the opposite cap face carries two small agency-style certification marks, and the cap sides carry 10A, 250V, and 325. The first photo shows five pieces from the same stock so you can see how the run looks.

Product Overview
This is a Littelfuse ceramic cartridge fuse rated 10A at 250V AC/DC, and the photographs show it built in the axial lead style: rather than bare end caps meant to snap into a clip, each cap carries a long straight wire lead for soldering or clamping into place. A ceramic body takes heat and suppresses arcing better than a glass tube of the same size, which is why this construction shows up where inrush and fault currents are part of normal operation. Against the centimeter ruler in the last photo the fuse body measures approximately 3.2 cm, with roughly 11 cm overall from lead tip to lead tip. The cap markings read 10A, 250V, and 325; check that 325 reference against the Littelfuse catalog before you commit to a speed characteristic, because we have not confirmed one.
Key Features
- Current rating: 10A
- Voltage rating: 250V AC/DC
- Body: ceramic, for heat resistance and arc suppression
- End caps: nickel-plated brass, one face stamped LITTELFUSE MEXICO
- Cap markings: 10A, 250V, 325, plus two small agency-style certification marks on the opposite cap face
- Leads: long straight axial wire lead at each end, as photographed
- Approximate size from the ruler photo: body about 3.2 cm, about 11 cm tip to tip
- Interrupt rating up to 10,000 A, series-dependent - verify against the datasheet before use
Applications
- Bench technician rebuilding a linear power supply whose fuse solders directly to the board instead of riding in a clip
- Amplifier restorer replacing a mains-side ceramic fuse where a glass tube keeps opening on turn-on surge
- Industrial maintenance tech stocking spares for older control cabinets wired around lead-mounted fuses
- Prototyper who wants the fuse anchored by its own leads inside a chassis or a potted assembly
Frequently Asked Questions
What is actually stamped on this fuse?
One end cap face reads LITTELFUSE MEXICO. The cap sides carry 10A, 250V, and 325. The opposite end cap face carries two small agency-style certification marks, a circled mark and a second stylized mark, neither legible enough in the photos for us to name the agency. The ceramic body itself is unprinted, which is normal for this style, so the caps are where the identification lives. Photo three is a close-up of that agency-marked cap face, and photos four through six show the LITTELFUSE MEXICO face and the cap-side stamps.
Will it drop into a standard clip-style fuse holder?
Not as photographed. This piece has a long wire lead coming out of each end cap rather than the bare caps a clip holder grips. The ceramic barrel is standard cartridge proportions, but we have not fit-tested it in a holder, so compare the last photo against your own holder before ordering.
Is this fast-acting or time-delay?
Not confirmed. The only speed clue on the part is the 325 marking on the cap, and we are not going to guess at what series that maps to. If the speed characteristic matters for your circuit, look up 325 in the Littelfuse catalog and verify against the datasheet before use.
How many do I get?
One fuse per unit ordered. The first photo shows five pieces together so you can judge consistency across the stock, and the remaining photos are all of a single representative piece.
This is listed as used - what am I actually taking on?
You are buying condition risk, and we would rather say that plainly. These are graded used, they have not been electrically tested here, and no continuity or opening-time check has been run. What we can tell you is what the camera shows: bright end caps, an off-white ceramic barrel with a few faint gray flecks, and full-length straight leads with no cuts or solder on them. The photos are the spec, so read them as carefully as you would read a datasheet, and plan to check the fuse with a meter before it protects anything you care about. Shipping is $8 flat rate and free once your order passes $28, and orders leave our Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
A soldered-in ceramic fuse spends its whole working life doing nothing at all, then earns its keep in a single millisecond. If you are rebuilding a chassis that wants wire leads instead of a clip holder, this Littelfuse is the shape that fits.
