Eaton FNQ-R-8 Fuse - Class CC, 200 kAIC RoHS CE

FNQ-R-8 is a Class CC current-limiting fuse designed for robust line protection in industrial-control panels and small transformers. It uses a high-inrush time-delay profile, allowing startup surges to pass without nuisance tripping while preserving fast fault clearance. This improves protection selectivity and uptime across mixed loads, aligning with common control-transformer applications. Rejection-style construction minimizes the risk of incorrect fuse replacement during maintenance, a frequent source of downtime in panels and machinery. Ferrule-end terminations simplify wiring and provide reliable, tool-friendly connections that stay secure in vibration-prone environments. Together, these features reduce installation errors and support long-term panel reliability. Technical specs reinforce protection performance: 8 A nominal rating, Class CC geometry, 600 V maximum, and a 200 kAIC interrupt rating. The current-limiting design confines fault energy, protects conductors, and helps downstream devices survive brief, high-current faults without damage or overheating. Physical footprint and materials support dense panel layouts: 1.5 in length, 0.41 in height and width, ferrule-end termination, and a melamine tube. The compact form factor enables easy integration into standard Bussmann-series assemblies and reduces overall panel size while maintaining reliability in industrial settings. RoHS compliant and CE marked, FNQ-R-8 also benefits from manufacturer data sheets and spec sheets for validation and BOM planning. This alignment with regulatory requirements simplifies procurement and ensures traceability for engineering change orders and compliance documentation. Overall, the FNQ-R-8 delivers a robust, scalable solution for line protection, branch circuits, and industrial control applications, delivering measurable reliability improvements and potential maintenance cost savings through reduced mis-wiring and fewer nuisance trips.
