Mersen Class J Fuse Base, 600V 100A 3-Pole Tin-Plated Box Connector

The Mersen Class J Fuse Base is a 600V, 100A, 3-pole fuseholder engineered for use with AJT, A4J, and HSJ Class J fuses, featuring high-conductivity tin-plated copper clips with spring-reinforced construction and a box-type wire connector suited to stranded or solid copper or aluminum conductors. Built around a molded glass-filled polycarbonate (GFPC) insulating body verified to a dielectric strength in excess of 2500V, this fuse base is CSA certified and UL listed, making it a dependable choice for industrial and commercial power distribution equipment where consistent, code-compliant fuse protection is required. The 3-pole configuration allows multiple circuits to be protected from a single mounted assembly, and the reinforced clip design is built to maintain firm fuse contact under demanding load and vibration conditions over the life of the installation.

Mersen 61008J – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which fuses fit the Mersen 61008J Class J fuse base?
The 61008J is built for Class J fuses up to 100A at 600V, specifically Mersen AJT, A4J and HSJ. Fuses drop in with a clip-in method, so no bolting is needed. Class J fuses have their own unique dimensions, so an RK5 or Class T fuse will not seat in these clips.
2) Can I use aluminum conductors on this Mersen fuse base, or copper only?
Both. The 61008J uses a box-type connector with a spring-reinforced clip that accepts stranded or solid copper or aluminum conductors. Terminations torque to 120 lb-in.
3) Is this 3-pole Class J fuse base rated for a high fault current industrial panel?
Yes. The 61008J carries a 200kA short circuit current rating, which covers most industrial service and motor control center locations. The glass-filled polycarbonate body is verified above 2500V dielectric strength on a 600V AC/DC rated holder.
4) Does the Mersen 61008J fuse base carry UL and CSA approvals for a code inspection?
It is UL Listed under Guide IZLT, File E52283, and meets UL4248 (formerly UL512). CSA certification is Class 6225, File 32169. That covers both US and Canadian installations.
5) How does this Class J fuse base mount in a panel or enclosure?
Direct screw mount to the panel or subpanel surface. It is a 3-pole assembly, so one mounted unit protects all three phases rather than needing three single-pole blocks lined up and spaced.
6) Will this fuse base hold up in a hot motor control center or a cold outdoor cabinet?
Operating and storage maximum is 80 degrees C, with a minimum storage temperature of -25 degrees C. Above 80 C ambient it is outside its rating. The spring-reinforced tin-plated copper clips are built to keep contact pressure under vibration, which matters in MCC and switchgear service.
7) Can I use a 100A Class J fuse base on a 240V or 480V circuit?
Yes. The 61008J is rated 600V, and a fuse holder may be applied at or below its voltage rating, so 208, 240 and 480V systems are all within it. Frequency rating is 50/60 Hz, and the holder is rated for AC or DC.
8) What is the insulating body on this Mersen fuse base made of?
Molded glass-filled polycarbonate, tested past 2500V dielectric strength. The clips themselves are tin-plated copper for conductivity and corrosion resistance at the fuse contact.
