KTK-12~LIMITRON FAST ACTING FUSE
Datasheet - FNQ-30
Feature → Business Impact → Application: 12 A amperage rating provides precise protection for low- to mid-range control circuits, reducing nuisance trips and enabling predictable maintenance windows in PLC and relay-based panels. This translates to improved uptime and lower service costs in manufacturing lines where fast response to faults is critical. Feature → High interrupt rating of 100 kAIC at 600 V ensures rapid fault clearing in high-energy environments, protecting downstream equipment and reducing arc-flash exposure for technicians during maintenance. Feature → Ferrule end x ferrule end connections enable quick, secure termination with standard crimp fittings, speeding up installation and minimizing mis-wiring risk in field assemblies across machine centers. Feature → Small footprint delivers greater panel density, allowing more components per enclosure and simplifying cabinet layout for control systems in packaging, material handling, and process automation. Feature → Melamine tube with nickel-plated bronze endcaps offers mechanical robustness and耐 corrosion resistance for harsher environments, extending service life in off-gel or damp locations. Feature → Non-indicating fuse and fast-acting LIMITRON behavior balance visibility and protection, reducing replacement cycles while ensuring fast fault interruption for sensitive electronics and motors. In practice, these characteristics support compliance with industry best practices and facilitate quick upgrades to existing Bussmann-series installations.

FAQs
The KTK-12 features ferrule end x ferrule end connections, allowing secure termination with standard crimp ferrules. Use compatible fuse holders or clips designed for ferrule-ended fuses, follow the panel manufacturer's torque guidelines, and ensure the circuit is de-energized before installation to prevent arcing and ensure safe maintenance.
KTK-12 is a 12 A fast-acting fuse rated for 600 V with an interrupt rating of 100 kAIC at 600 Vac. This combination protects control circuits, lighting, and metering circuits against short circuits while minimizing nuisance trips in normal inrush scenarios, enabling reliable equipment protection.
Yes. With a 12 A rating and 600 V capability, KTK-12 supports lighting and meter circuits commonly found in industrial control panels. Its fast-acting character helps prevent damage from short circuits in these applications while maintaining compatibility with Bussmann-series accessories and standard panel hardware.
KTK-12 carries CE marking and RoHS compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment for EU installations and reduced hazardous substances in assemblies. This supports compliance-driven procurement and helps streamline cross-border deployments in manufacturing environments.
The small footprint and high reliability reduce panel space usage and the risk of unexpected outages. Fast interruption characteristics minimize damage to downstream equipment, lowering repair costs and downtime. Compatibility with standard Bussmann-series components simplifies spare parts planning and maintenance.
