0253010-M is a part number that typically corresponds to a surface-mount from Littelfuse

The 0253010-M is a surface-mount, automotive-grade fuse designed to meet stringent industry standards (AEC-Q200). This compact component provides reliable overcurrent protection for automotive electrical systems, featuring robust construction for harsh operating environments.

The 0253010-M protects circuits from damage caused by excessive current (rated at 10A). When current exceeds specifications, the fuse rapidly breaks the circuit to prevent overheating, insulation damage, or fire in wires and downstream components.

Engineered for extreme conditions:

• Wide temperature range: -40°C to 125°C for underhood, cabin, or chassis-mounted applications
• Vibration resistance: Complies with ISO 16750 standards for vehicle operation on rough terrain
• Corrosion resistance: Withstands moisture, salt spray, and automotive fluids

Available in two variants:

• Fast-acting: Immediate response to short circuits for sensitive electronics
• Time-delay (slow-blow): Tolerates temporary inrush currents for motor applications

SMT package enables automated assembly, saves board space, and ensures secure soldering to withstand automotive vibrations.

The 0253010-M is primarily used in automotive electrical systems:

Protects circuits for cameras, radar, LiDAR, and ADAS controllers from wiring harness faults or sensor malfunctions.

Safeguards power supplies for touchscreens, communication modules, GPS receivers, and audio systems.

Protects circuits for interior/exterior lighting, power windows, and door locks (10A rating matches typical loads).

Shields low-current circuits in powertrain sensors and chassis systems from harsh engine bay conditions.

Protects auxiliary circuits in on-board chargers, battery management systems, and HVAC blower motors.

Used in trucks and construction equipment to protect electronics in rugged operating environments.
