Provides supplemental overcurrent protection for appropriately specified electrical circuits requiring a 3.5 A time-delay fuse. The 3-1/2 designation represents three and one-half amperes.
Designed for compatible industrial AC control and equipment circuits operating within the published maximum voltage rating of 250 VAC.
Helps accommodate temporary inrush currents associated with control power transformers, motors and other inductive loads according to the published time-current characteristics.
Uses a nominal 10.3 x 38.1 mm cylindrical cartridge design for installation in appropriately rated and dimensionally compatible midget fuse holders.
Features a 100 A interrupting rating at 250 VAC and a 10 kA interrupting rating at 125 VAC. The available fault current must not exceed the applicable interrupting capacity at the actual system voltage.
Combines melamine tube construction, a dual-element time-delay design and nickel-plated bronze ferrule end caps for supplemental protection of compatible inductive circuits.

What is the Bussmann FNM-3-1/2?
It is a 3.5 A time-delay midget cartridge fuse from the Eaton Bussmann FNM series, designed for supplemental overcurrent protection.
Who manufactures FNM-3-1/2?
FNM-3-1/2 belongs to the Eaton Bussmann series. Its manufacturer catalog number is FNM-3-1/2.
What is the rated current?
The rated current is 3.5 amperes, equivalent to 3500 mA or three and one-half amperes.
What is the AC voltage rating?
The manufacturer specifies a maximum AC voltage rating of 250 VAC.
Is FNM-3-1/2 a fast-acting fuse?
No. It is a dual-element time-delay fuse intended to accommodate certain temporary inrush currents according to its published operating characteristics.
What is the interrupting rating at 250 VAC?
Eaton specifies a 100 A interrupting rating at 250 VAC for FNM-3-1/2.
What is the interrupting rating at 125 VAC?
Eaton specifies a 10,000 A interrupting rating at 125 VAC. This higher rating must not be applied to circuits operating at 250 VAC.
What are the physical dimensions?
The nominal dimensions are 10.3 mm in diameter and 38.1 mm in length, corresponding to the 5AG midget cartridge fuse format.
Does FNM-3-1/2 have a blown-fuse indicator?
No. The standard FNM-3-1/2 is a non-indicating cartridge fuse.
What materials and terminals does it use?
The FNM series features melamine tube construction. FNM-3-1/2 uses nickel-plated bronze ferrule end caps for installation in compatible holders.
Can FNM-3-1/2 be used for branch-circuit protection?
The FNM series is intended for supplemental overcurrent protection. Branch-circuit applications require an appropriately classified protective device with a suitable interrupting rating.
What should be verified before ordering?
Confirm the exact FNM-3-1/2 model number, 3.5 A current rating, 250 VAC voltage rating, voltage-dependent interrupting capacity, time-delay characteristics, physical dimensions and fuse-holder compatibility.
