Eaton Specification Sheet - BP/FNM-5
Time-delay design helps absorb inrush and transient surges common in lighting circuits and meter panels, reducing unnecessary downtime and service calls while maintaining robust overload protection. This means measurable business value in uptime and maintenance cost reduction, especially for general purpose circuits in electrical protection and circuit control panels. The 5 A rating paired with a 200 AIC interrupt rating and a 250 V operating voltage delivers targeted protection for small-load applications without compromising safety or fault confinement. Dual elements provide redundancy and reliability for dual-path circuits, while the ferrule-end connections streamline installation in standard terminal blocks, speeding assembly and future servicing. The non-indicating feature minimizes visual indicators that could mislead technicians during rapid replacements, and the rejection-style design prevents incorrect fuse insertion, enhancing compliance and reducing field errors. Packaging as a blister pack and integration with the Bussmann series catalogs supports efficient stocking, modular design, and consistent sourcing across projects and facilities.

FAQs
The BP/FNM-5 is designed for ferrule-end connections and standard blade-style terminals used in general protection panels. With a 6.1 in length and 2.4 in width, it fits typical enclosure layouts and simplifies substitution in existing Bussmann-series installations, reducing rework and de-rating concerns while maintaining secure, repeatable terminations.
As a time-delay fuse, BP/FNM-5 tolerates brief inrush events without tripping, allowing equipment such as lighting ballasts and metering circuits to start normally. This minimizes nuisance trips, lowers maintenance visits, and improves overall system availability without compromising short-circuit protection at 5 A and 250 V.
Yes. The BP/FNM-5 is specifically designed for general-purpose circuits, including lighting and meter circuits, offering a 5 A rating, 200 AIC interrupt capacity, and a 250 V voltage rating. Its dual-element design and ferrule-end connections provide reliable protection with straightforward installation in common electrical panels.
Compliances are typically validated through factory approvals; Eaton catalog data points indicate CE marking and UL recognition are commonly pursued for Bussmann-series products. Always verify the current certifications with Eaton to ensure alignment with your regional regulatory requirements and customer specifications.
Install BP/FNM-5 using standard ferrule-end terminations in designated fuse holders within the panel. Check the 6.1 in length, 3 in height, and 2.4 in width to ensure fitment in your enclosure. Use the blister-pack packaging for stock reliability and refer to the Eaton specification sheet for exact mounting clearances and compatibility with the Bussmann full-line catalog.
