Is a 250V fuse appropriate for a 115V AC IEC320 connector?

Requesting project design tips.

 

I'm designing a box that will be AC powered. I like an on/off switch, fuses,
lights to indicate the box has power. 

 

I wanted to use something like shown here

The requirement for 250V fuse is embossed in the plastic. In north America,
115V is the pole-neutral house voltage for residential circuits. Is 250V
here correct, or should we fit with another fuse voltage? Essentially the
first device after this receptacle is a switched mode power supply.
