Best Answer

The 312 designation means that it is a 312 series fuse made by a company called Littelfuse. This is a series of fast acting, glass cartridge fuse. Knowing the series allows you to look up the exact specifications for the fuse at the company's website.

The fuse would have a rating impressed into one if the steel caps that looks like:

250V 312 5A

Indicating it is a 250 Volt, 5A fuse, and is a Littelfuse 312 series, which implies fast acting, specific performance specifications and its size (31.75+/- 1.12mm x 6.25 +/- 0.3mm).

I am going to guess it means 31.2mm

I measured a fuse with this written on it:

312 1-6/10A 250V

It was 31.2mm long

It is a 1.6A fuse

I am going to guess it means that it is a 312 series fuse made by the company Littelfuse. This is a series of fast acting, glass body cartridge fuse. It would have a series of chars on it similar to 250V 312 5A, which would correspond to a 5Amp fuse.
