Eaton Specification Sheet - BAF-1/4
Feature → Business Impact → Application: 0.25 A rating provides precise protection for sensitive control circuits, reducing the risk of overcurrent damage without compromising normal operation. The high interrupt rating of 10 kAIC at 125 Vac and 35 AIC at 250 Vac translates to rapid fault clearing and improved system reliability in small electrical enclosures. Application: control panels in machinery, automation modules, and instrumentation cabinets where tight current control is essential. Ferrule end x ferrule end connections simplify installation in pre-terminated harnesses and standard terminations, reducing assembly time and improving contact integrity. Business impact: faster commissioning, lower labor costs, and reduced rework due to secure terminations. Nickel-plated brass endcaps enhance corrosion resistance and long-term durability in industrial environments. Application: harsh or moisture-prone panel areas where longevity matters. Non-indicating fuse indicators minimize visual clutter in dense panel layouts, helping technicians monitor systems without unnecessary disturbance. Business impact: streamlined diagnostics and safer, cleaner maintenance routines. Compliance and standardization: CE marked ensures European compliance, supporting global sourcing and consistent engineering practices. Application: multi-site deployments requiring uniform protection across equipment families.

FAQs
The BAF-1/4 fuse is designed for control panels and small electrical assemblies using ferrule-end terminations. Its 0.25 A rating and 250 V capacity make it suitable for protecting low-current circuits in automation modules and instrumentation cabinets, while its ferrule-end connections offer robust, simple installation in standard harnesses.
The BAF-1/4 provides an interrupt rating of 10 kAIC at 125 Vac and 35 AIC at 250 Vac. This means higher fault current capability at the lower voltage improves protection during short-circuit events, while maintaining appropriate protection levels when operated at full 250 V.
The fuse body length is 1.5 in with a width and height of 0.41 in. It uses ferrule end x ferrule end connections and features nickel-plated brass endcaps for durability and reliable contact in industrial environments.
The BAF-1/4 is CE marked, indicating compliance with European safety standards. This helps ensure suitability for European machinery and supports cross-border procurement and installation in compliant systems.
Install using ferrule-terminals to match the device ends, ensuring clean, secure connections. Mount in standard protection panels with good ventilation, and consider the non-indicating nature to reduce panel visual clutter. Verify voltage rating and interrupt characteristics align with system fault-current calculations for reliable protection.
