Overview

The Mersen 60312J Class J fuse block delivers reliable 600VAC/600VDC protection for industrial applications requiring 30A current handling. This 2-pole screw-mounted fuse block features a glass-filled polycarbonate (GFPC) or phenolic insulator with dielectric strength exceeding 2500V, ensuring robust electrical insulation. Designed for compatibility with stranded or solid copper or aluminum conductors, the 60312J supports wire ranges from #4-14 AWG (copper) or #2-14 AWG (copper/aluminum) depending on connector type. Its high-conductivity tin-plated copper fuse clips, available in spring-reinforced or non-spring configurations, provide consistent contact and heat cycling performance. The UL4248-listed and CSA-certified design meets OEM specifications, including the 'no aluminum' requirement for Class J applications. With a 200kA short-circuit current rating (SCCR), this fuse block is ideal for power distribution, motor control centers, and industrial control panels. Space-saving options and multi-pole adder blocks enable flexible configurations for 1-, 2-, or 3-pole segmented assemblies. Recommended mounting screws are 1/4" (0.250" diameter) for secure installation.
