Rated at 3.5 amperes, the Bussmann FNQ-R-3-1/2 provides Class CC overcurrent protection for appropriately specified industrial control circuits, small control transformers and compatible electrical equipment.
Designed for compatible AC electrical circuits operating at or below 600 VAC, supporting industrial control and branch-circuit applications where Class CC fuse protection is specified.
The time-delay characteristic accommodates temporary magnetizing inrush currents associated with compatible small control transformers. Eaton specifies a response time of 12 seconds at 200% of rated current. Fuse selection should follow the manufacturer's published time-current characteristics.
Provides a manufacturer-specified interrupting rating of 200,000 amperes RMS symmetrical at 600 VAC for properly engineered electrical circuits with evaluated available short-circuit current.
Combines current-limiting operation with Class CC branch-circuit protection. The rejection-style construction is intended for compatible Class CC fuse holders and helps prevent insertion of unsuitable supplemental fuse types into rejection-style holders.
Features a melamine tube body, dual-element construction, non-indicating operation and ferrule end connections. Its nominal 10.3 x 38.1 mm cartridge dimensions support installation in compatible industrial Class CC fuse holders and fuse blocks.

What is the Bussmann FNQ-R-3-1/2?
It is a 3.5 A, 600 VAC Class CC current-limiting time-delay cartridge fuse from the Eaton Bussmann LIMITRON FNQ-R series, designed for compatible industrial control and branch-circuit applications.
Who manufactures FNQ-R-3-1/2?
FNQ-R-3-1/2 belongs to the Eaton Bussmann product range. Its manufacturer catalog number is FNQ-R-3-1/2.
What is the current rating?
The rated current is 3.5 amperes, equivalent to 3500 milliamperes or three and one-half amperes.
What is the AC voltage rating?
The published maximum AC voltage rating is 600 VAC. The operating circuit voltage must remain within the fuse's applicable electrical rating.
Is FNQ-R-3-1/2 a time-delay fuse?
Yes. Eaton identifies FNQ-R-3-1/2 as a high-inrush time-delay fuse. Its product specifications list a response time of 12 seconds at 200% of rated current. Actual opening time depends on the applied overcurrent and operating conditions.
What is the interrupting rating?
Eaton specifies a 200 kA RMS symmetrical interrupting rating at 600 VAC, equivalent to 200,000 amperes.
What are the physical dimensions?
The nominal dimensions are 10.3 mm in diameter and 38.1 mm in length, approximately 0.41 inch by 1.50 inches.
Does FNQ-R-3-1/2 have a blown-fuse indicator?
No. Eaton identifies FNQ-R-3-1/2 as a non-indicating cartridge fuse without a built-in visual blown-fuse indicator.
What material and terminal configuration does this fuse use?
Eaton specifies a melamine tube body and ferrule-to-ferrule connections. The fuse features a dual-element, current-limiting Class CC rejection-style design.
Can FNQ-R-3-1/2 replace an FNQ series fuse?
Do not assume interchangeability based on the current rating or cartridge dimensions alone. The FNQ-R series is rated for 600 VAC Class CC branch-circuit protection, while the FNQ series is intended for 500 VAC supplemental overcurrent protection. Their interrupting ratings, rejection features and installation requirements differ.
Is FNQ-R-3-1/2 RoHS compliant?
Yes. Eaton identifies FNQ-R-3-1/2 as RoHS compliant and CE marked. Verify any additional compliance documentation required for your installation.
What should be verified before ordering?
Confirm the exact FNQ-R-3-1/2 catalog number, 3.5 A current rating, 600 VAC voltage rating, 200 kA interrupting capacity, time-delay characteristics, Class CC fuse-holder compatibility and applicable circuit protection requirements. Consult Eaton Bussmann FNQ-R Technical Data 1014 for detailed application guidance.
