Eaton BAF-1/2 Fuse - CE Marked, 0.5 A Ferrule End
Part Number: BAF-1/2
Quick Summary
BAF-1/2 fuse provides reliable overcurrent protection for small electrical panels and equipment. Engineers face space constraints and the need for fast, predictable interruption in compact fuse assemblies for control circuits. CE Marked compliance ensures European safety and reliability for these components in critical installations. The Bussmann series design features nickel-plated brass endcaps and ferrule-end connections that simplify installation in standard enclosures while delivering robust protection at 250 V. This combination translates to higher panel density, reduced spare parts, and a clear path to compliant protection across automation gear and control cabinets. With a 0.5 A rating and rigorous test data, it supports protection for microcontroller-based drives and sensors while maintaining cost-effective maintenance and procurement.

Ferrule end x ferrule end connections enable straightforward wiring, reducing panel build time and wiring errors. Business impact: faster installation and fewer field adjustments in automation cabinets; applicable to control panels and equipment racks where space is at a premium. The 0.5 A amperage rating paired with a 250 V voltage rating provides precise protection for sensitive electronics, minimizing nuisance trips and downtime in machine logic and sensor networks. Applications include small drives, logic controllers, and control electronics in manufacturing lines, where reliable protection translates to improved uptime and predictable performance. The fuse features 10 kAIC interrupt rating at 125 VAC and 35 AIC at 250 VAC, delivering a generous fault-current margin for typical industrial faults and startup surges. Industry-specific context: this combination supports compliance with European and global electrical protection standards while keeping panel densities manageable. Nickel-plated brass endcaps offer corrosion resistance and vibration tolerance, extending service life in rugged environments and reducing replacement costs. The standard packaging and non-indicating fuse design simplify stocking and maintenance, enabling quick swaps during scheduled outages or unplanned repairs. Installation advantages include ferrule-end compatibility, standard 250 V operation, and a compact footprint (0.41 in W x 0.41 in D x 1.5 in H), helping engineers meet tight enclosure constraints without compromising protection. In practice, engineers often choose this series for control cabinets and automation gear where fast procurement, consistent performance, and straightforward field replacement are critical for ROI and uptime.
