PICO® 305 Series - 277V Intrinsically Safe Fuse
RoHS
Description
The PICO® 305 Series Fuse offers a range of encapsulated
fuses certified under UL 913 , the standard for intrinsically safe
electrical equipment, to operate in hazardous locations. Ideal
for use in oil, gas, mine, chemical, and pharmaceutical process
industries, the PICO 305 Series fuse was designed to limit
the energy and temperature generated during its operation.
The fuse design and its encapsulant are suitable for use in an
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 aren’t 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=80°C, 250mA = 84°C, 500mA = 56°C, and 750mA = 84°C.
