Why Choose the Wöhner 31342 Class J Fuse Link?
The Wöhner 31342 is a premium Class J time-delay cylindrical fuse link designed to provide dependable overcurrent and short-circuit protection for industrial electrical installations. Manufactured by Mersen for the Wöhner product range, it is engineered for applications requiring reliable circuit protection while allowing temporary inrush currents during motor starting and equipment energisation.
Rated at 3 A, the Wöhner 31342 supports operating voltages up to 600 V AC and 500 V DC. Its time-delay operating characteristic reduces nuisance fuse operation while maintaining excellent protection against sustained overloads and high fault currents. The fuse complies with UL 248-8 and is intended for use in UL feeder circuits above 250 V.
The compact 21 × 57 mm Class J format allows installation in compatible Class J fuse holders within industrial control panels, switchboards and OEM machinery. Its porcelain, halogen-free construction provides excellent thermal and mechanical durability for demanding industrial environments.
