FAQs
The 24B-3 is a flat fuse designed for 60 V DC telecom circuits and pairs with standard Bussmann Type 24 telecommunication fuse holders. Always verify the exact holder compatibility in the Eaton datasheet and ensure the physical dimensions (1.46 in length, 0.375 in height) fit your cabinet or panel.
Key specs include a 60 V DC voltage rating, 3 A amperage rating, flat fuse form factor, blue color code, and non-indicating status. These settings provide overcurrent protection tailored for low-voltage telecom systems while maintaining a compact footprint.
Yes. The 24B-3 is purpose-built for telecom DC circuits and is commonly used in data centers and telecom racks to protect power feeds and line interfaces. Always confirm specific regulatory requirements and datasheet guidelines for your deployment environment.
The provided product data does not list CE, SIL, or IP certifications. For regulatory compliance details, consult the official Eaton Bussmann Type 24 datasheets and specification sheets, which typically include certifications and standards applicable to your region.
Using a properly rated 24B-3 fuse reduces unplanned downtime by preventing overcurrent damage to DC telecom circuits, lowers maintenance costs through reliable protection, and simplifies spare part inventories with a consistent catalog number (24B-3) and UPC. This translates to faster repairs, higher uptime, and predictable lifecycle costs.
