1. SCOPE
1.1 Scope. This specification covers the general requirements for nonrenewable instrument, power, and
telephone fuses for the protection of electrical and electronic equipment.
1.2 Classification.
1.2.1 Type designation. The type designation is in the following form and as specified (see 3.1 and 6.2).
F02 A 250 V 1 1/2 A S
Style Characteristic Voltage Current Silver plated
(1.2.1.1) (1.2.1.2) rating rating (1.2.1.5)
(1.2.1.3) (1.2.1.4)
1.2.1.1 Style. The style is identified by the letter “F” followed by a two-digit number denoting a fuse of a given
interface and physical dimension.
1.2.1.2 Characteristics. The characteristics shall be identified by a one-letter or two-letter symbol which indicates
the relative overload interrupt time (see 6.6) and other special features in accordance with table I.
1.2.1.3 Voltage rating. The voltage rating is the maximum direct current (dc) or alternating current (ac) root mean
square (rms) voltage for which a fuse is designed. The voltage rating is identified by a numerical value followed by
the letter “V”. The voltage rating shall be as specified (see 3.1 and 6.2).
1.2.1.4 Current rating. The current rating is the amount of current a fuse will carry indefinitely without interruption.
The current rating in amperes is identified by a numerical value followed by the letter “A”. The current rating shall be
as specified (see 3.1 and 6.2).
1.2.1.5 Silver plating. The letter “S” identifies fuses which have silver-plated terminals (see 3.5.4 and 6.2).
Identification of other platings is not required.
