FNQ-15~BUSS MIDGET FUSE
Datasheet - FNQ-30
Time-delay capability minimizes nuisance trips during motor start-up, delivering uptime gains for drives and transformers in motor-control panels. This translates to fewer unplanned shutdowns and smoother production lines, especially in applications like conveyors and pumps where inrush is common. The 15 A rating matches typical motor-control circuits, providing headroom for startup surges without overprotecting the circuit. A 10 kAIC interrupt rating at 500 Vac protects feeders and controllers during fault events, enhancing system reliability and safety. Ferrule-end connections with nickel-plated bronze endcaps ensure durable, low-resistance terminations in harsh industrial environments, reducing maintenance and connection failures. The non-indicating design simplifies installation and stocking while the standard packaging keeps procurement straightforward for OEMs and panel builders. CE marking and RoHS compliance support global regulatory requirements, streamlining cross-border sourcing and ensuring compliance across sites.

FAQs
FNQ-15 is a Bussmann series midget fuse with ferrule-end connections designed for standard panel boards and fuse holders that accept ferrule terminations. Its 0.41 in by 0.41 in cross-section and 1.5 in height fit common Bussmann and Eaton assemblies, enabling straightforward replacement in motor-control panels and compact drive cabinets without adapters or customized mounting.
FNQ-15 is rated at 15 A with a 10 kAIC interrupt rating at 500 Vac. It uses ferrule-end terminations and features nickel-plated bronze endcaps for durable contact surfaces, ensuring reliable operation under inrush and fault conditions typical in industrial motor circuits and transformer feeds.
Yes. The FNQ-15 is a time-delay (slow-blow) fuse designed to tolerate motor-start surges while protecting wiring and components. Its 15 A rating, 10 kAIC interrupt capability, and 500 V rating make it well-suited for motor drives, feeders, and circuits with high inrush currents, reducing nuisance trips and protecting equipment.
FNQ-15 is CE marked and RoHS compliant, aligning with European safety and environmental standards. These certifications support regulatory acceptance across international projects and simplify procurement for multi-site deployments where compliance is mandatory.
Choose ferrule-end compatible holders for quick installation and reliable connections. The non-indicating design reduces field maintenance, while nickel-plated endcaps resist corrosion in harsh environments. Standard packaging and broad availability streamline stocking, procurement, and replacement cycles, delivering lower total cost of ownership over the fuse’s service life.
