Provides supplemental overcurrent protection for electrical circuits requiring a 0.25 A time-delay fuse rating.
Designed for compatible AC control and equipment circuits operating within the published 250 VAC rating.
Accommodates certain temporary inrush currents associated with inductive loads according to the published fuse time-current characteristics.
Uses a nominal 10.3 x 38.1 mm cylindrical fuse format for installation in appropriately rated and dimensionally compatible holders.
Rated for 35 A interrupting capacity at 250 VAC and 10 kA at 125 VAC. Circuit protection selection must account for the available fault current at the actual operating voltage.
Combines time-delay characteristics, dual-element construction and ferrule terminals for compatible transformer, motor and inductive circuit applications.

What is the Bussmann FNM-1/4?
It is a 250 mA time-delay midget fuse in the Eaton Bussmann FNM series, intended for supplemental overcurrent protection.
Who manufactures the FNM-1/4?
The model belongs to the Eaton Bussmann series of electrical circuit protection products.
What is the current rating?
The rated current is 0.25 A, equivalent to 250 mA or one-quarter ampere.
What is its voltage rating?
The specified voltage rating is 250 VAC.
Is FNM-1/4 a fast-acting fuse?
No. It is a dual-element time-delay fuse designed to accommodate certain temporary inrush currents.
What is the interrupting rating at 250 VAC?
The published interrupting rating is 35 A at 250 VAC.
What is the interrupting rating at 125 VAC?
The published interrupting rating is 10,000 A at 125 VAC. This value must not be applied to a 250 VAC circuit.
What are the dimensions of FNM-1/4?
The nominal cylindrical fuse dimensions are 10.3 mm in diameter and 38.1 mm in length, corresponding to the midget cartridge format.
Does this fuse have a visual indicator?
No. The standard FNM-1/4 is a non-indicating fuse.
What type of connections does it use?
It uses ferrule-style terminals at both ends for installation in compatible fuse holders.
Can FNM-1/4 be used for branch-circuit protection?
The FNM series is intended for supplemental overcurrent protection. Branch-circuit applications require protection devices with the appropriate classification and interrupting capacity.
What should be verified before ordering?
Confirm the FNM-1/4 model number, 250 mA current rating, circuit voltage, voltage-specific interrupting rating, time-delay requirements, fuse dimensions and holder compatibility.
