FNQ-1/10~FNQ-1-10~BUSS MIDGET FUSE
Time-delay operation provides surge tolerance, protecting motors and transformers without nuisance tripping. This translates to fewer unplanned shutdowns, smoother starts, and reduced wear on starters. In practice, FNQ-1/10 is ideal for motor control circuits and equipment that draw brief inrush currents during startup. With a 500 V rating and 10 kAIC interrupt capability, it safely clears short circuits in industrial equipment and protects downstream components, enabling compact protection solutions in panel layouts. Ferrule end x ferrule end connections simplify wiring and reduce termination errors in rugged environments, while nickel-plated bronze endcaps improve durability against corrosion and vibration. The standard packaging supports quick stocking and streamlined replacement during maintenance windows. CE Marked and RoHS compliant specs help global deployments and regulatory alignment, contributing to lower lifecycle costs and improved asset availability. This fuse pairs well with Bussmann series catalogs and typical motor starter assemblies, delivering reliable protection in demanding automation environments.

FAQs
FNQ-1/10 employs ferrule-to-ferrule connections, enabling straightforward terminaling in standard control panels. Ensure compatible bus bar spacing and secure ferrules with proper torque to maintain reliable contact. Use the nickel-plated endcaps for corrosion resistance in harsh environments and verify the 0.1 A rating aligns with your motor or transformer inrush profile. This reduces mis-wiring risk and expedites panel qualification.
The FNQ-1/10 fuse is a time-delay device rated for 0.1 A, 500 V, with a 10 kAIC interrupt rating at 500 Vac. Its non-indicating design means no visible status indicator, so rely on the application notes and test procedures to verify operation. This combination supports protection for motor control circuits while tolerating brief inrush currents typical of starting loads.
Yes, FNQ-1/10 is well-suited for motor control circuits and transformers in industrial settings. The nickel-plated bronze endcaps offer durability against vibration and corrosion, while ferrule-end connections simplify termination in dense layouts. With CE and RoHS compliance, you can deploy confidently in environments requiring European safety and environmental standards without sacrificing performance.
FNQ-1/10 is CE marked and RoHS compliant, aligning with European safety and environmental regulations. This helps support global deployments where regulatory compliance is a selection criterion. While other listings may vary by region, the Bussmann series fuse line is designed to integrate with standard Eaton catalogs and motor protection practices.
Adopting FNQ-1/10 can reduce downtime by preventing nuisance trips during motor startup, while maintaining robust overcurrent protection. The time-delay behavior minimizes unnecessary fuse changes in high-inrush applications, and durable ferrule connections plus plated endcaps lower maintenance overhead from corrosion or vibration. Overall, you gain predictable protection, easier replacements, and improved asset availability.
