308 Series 30V Intrinsically Safe Fuse
Description
The 308 Series offers a range of surface 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 308 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 30V.

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 30V peak.
3. Maximum surface temperature rise at 170% rated current: 250-375mA = 23°C, 500mA = 35°C, 750mA = 53°C, 1A = 38°C, 1.25-1.50A = 96°C.
4. Minimum Cold Resistance at -30°C is available upon request.
