Eaton FNQ-4 Fuse - Time-delay 4A, 500V with CE RoHS

Part Number: FNQ-4
Manufacturer
Eaton
Part number
FNQ-4

Quick Summary

FNQ-4 fuse provides time-delay overcurrent protection for motor control circuits with inrush. That inrush can trip standard protections, causing downtime and costly maintenance. It carries CE Marking and RoHS compliance, aligning with global safety and environmental standards. Its ferrule-end connections and non-indicating design simplify installation in standard panels. With a 4 A rating at 500 V and a 10 kAIC interrupt capacity, it protects automation systems while boosting uptime. Engineers value the Bussmann series compatibility, reliable sourcing, and predictable performance across automated lines.

Time-delay design enables the FNQ-4 to tolerate short inrush currents without nuisance trips. This delivers measurable uptime gains in motor-start applications, reducing unplanned downtime and maintenance costs. It's particularly well suited for motor starters, conveyors, and pumps in automation systems. With a 10 kAIC interrupt rating at 500 Vac, the FNQ-4 safely clears fault currents without sustaining damage. This gives designers confidence in protecting controllers, relays, and drives connected to 500 V circuits. Nickel-plated bronze endcaps provide durability and corrosion resistance in harsh industrial environments. The rugged construction supports long service life in control panels, MCCs, and equipment enclosures. Ferrule end-to-end connections ensure reliable, quick wiring in standard fuse blocks, while the standard packaging simplifies stocking and replacement in maintenance programs. CE Marked and RoHS compliant status supports global deployments and regulatory readiness. The non-indicating design reduces nuisance indicators and simplifies panel aesthetics, while keeping replacement straightforward.
