Overview

The Mersen GFN1/10 is a midget time-delay fuse designed for supplemental circuit protection where both time-delay characteristics and visual indication of operation are required. This fuse features a built-in blown fuse indicator that pops out at the end of the fuse body, providing immediate visual confirmation of an open circuit. The indicator pin can also be used to actuate a switch for remote signaling, enabling system monitoring without additional components. Key specifications include a 250VAC voltage rating and a 0.1A (1/10A) current rating. The fuse offers a 12-second time-delay at 200% of its rated current, making it suitable for applications with moderate inrush currents such as solenoid and control circuits. It has a high interrupting rating of 200kA at 250VAC, ensuring safe interruption of fault currents. The GFN1/10 measures 1-1/2" x 13/32" (10 mm x 38 mm) and uses ferrule terminals for secure connections. It is compatible with Mersen's UltraSafe™ fuse holders for ratings from 1/10A to 10A. This fuse is intended for supplemental protection only and is not rated for branch circuit protection.
