Fuse Datasheet
304 Series
PICO® 277V Intrinsically Safe Fuse
RoHS
Description
The PICO® 304 Series offers a range of suface mountable
encapsulated fuses certified as intrinsically safe components that
can be used in hazardous locations. Ideal for use in oil, gas, mine,
chemical, pharmaceutical and process industries, the PICO® 304
Series surface mountable fuse was designed to limit the energy
and temperature generated during its operation. The fuse design
and its encapsulant are suitable for use in intrinsically safe
apparatus and associated apparatus for peak voltage not exceeding
375V.

Notes: 1. The fuse must be mounted so that creepage and clearance distances are not impaired in any way.
2. The fuse is suitable for use in intrinsically safe equipment and associated apparatus for voltage not exceeding 375V peak.
3. Maximum surface temperature rise at 170% rated current: ≤200mA = 88°C, 250mA = 52°C, 500mA = 52°C, and 750mA = 45°C.
