PICO[®] 259 Series Safe-T-Plus Fuse 

## ~~**Description**~~ 

The Safe-T-Plus 259 Series offers a range of encapsulated fuses designed to enable greater safety for operating electronic equipment within potentially explosive environments. Originally designed to serve the needs of gas plants, petrochemical and processing industries, these fuses are certitifed for use within intrinsically safe apparatus with ATEX and IECEx certifications. 

The fuse design and its encapsulant are suitable for use in intrinsically safe appartatus and associated apparatus for voltage not exceeding 125V rms (190V peak).

- 1) The fuse must be so mounted that creepage and clearance distances aren’t impaired in any way. 

- 2) The fuse is suitable for use in intrinsically safe equipment for voltages not exceeding 190V peak. 

- 3) Maximum surface temperature rise at 170% rated current: ≤750mA=40ºC, 1A=55ºC, 3A=118ºC and 5A=135ºC.
