Rated at 0.3 A (300 mA), the FNQ-3/10 provides supplemental overcurrent protection for appropriately specified low-current industrial control circuits.
Designed for compatible AC control and equipment circuits operating at or below its published 500 VAC maximum voltage rating. The FNQ series uses an orange voltage-class color code.
Helps accommodate temporary inrush currents associated with motor control transformers and other compatible inductive equipment, subject to the manufacturer's published time-current characteristics.
Provides a manufacturer-specified interrupting rating of 10,000 A at 500 VAC. The available fault current must not exceed the applicable interrupting capacity.
Features a nominal diameter of 10.3 mm and length of 38.1 mm for installation in dimensionally compatible and appropriately rated midget fuse holders.
Combines FNQ series fiber tube construction with ferrule end-cap connections. Eaton's FNQ-3/10 product specification identifies nickel-plated bronze end caps.

What is the Bussmann FNQ-3/10?
It is a 300 mA, 500 VAC time-delay midget cartridge fuse from the Eaton Bussmann FNQ series, intended for supplemental overcurrent protection.
Who manufactures FNQ-3/10?
FNQ-3/10 is part of the Eaton Bussmann fuse range. Its manufacturer catalog number is FNQ-3/10.
What is the rated current?
The rated current is 0.3 amperes, equivalent to 300 milliamperes or three-tenths of an ampere.
What is the AC voltage rating?
The maximum published AC voltage rating is 500 VAC. The FNQ series uses orange as its voltage-class color code.
Is FNQ-3/10 a fast-acting fuse?
No. FNQ-3/10 is a time-delay fuse intended for circuits where temporary inrush currents may occur. Suitability should be evaluated using the manufacturer's time-current characteristics.
What is the interrupting rating at 500 VAC?
Eaton specifies a 10 kA interrupting rating at 500 VAC for FNQ-3/10, equivalent to 10,000 amperes.
What are the physical dimensions?
The nominal dimensions are 10.3 mm in diameter and 38.1 mm in length, approximately 13/32 inch by 1-1/2 inches.
Does FNQ-3/10 have a blown-fuse indicator?
No. The standard FNQ-3/10 is a non-indicating cartridge fuse.
What materials are used in this fuse?
FNQ Technical Data 1012 identifies fiber tube construction and nickel-plated brass end caps for the series. The Eaton FNQ-3/10 product listing specifies nickel-plated bronze end caps; refer to the manufacturer for material clarification where necessary.
Can FNQ-3/10 replace an FNQ-R-3/10 fuse?
Do not assume these models are interchangeable. FNQ is a 500 VAC supplemental fuse series, whereas FNQ-R is a 600 VAC Class CC fuse series with different protection characteristics and interrupting ratings.
Can FNQ-3/10 be used for branch-circuit protection?
FNQ-3/10 is intended for supplemental overcurrent protection. Applications requiring branch-circuit protection must use an appropriately classified protective device with a suitable interrupting rating.
What should be verified before ordering?
Confirm the exact FNQ-3/10 model number, 300 mA current rating, 500 VAC voltage rating, 10 kA interrupting capacity, time-delay characteristics, dimensions and fuse-holder compatibility. Consult Eaton Bussmann Technical Data 1012 for series specifications.
