Eaton BAF-15 Fuse - 15 A, 250 V, 750 AIC (CE)
Part Number: BAF-15
Quick Summary
The Eaton BAF-15 fuse is a fast-acting protection device designed for control panels and industrial machines. Too often, engineers contend with nuisance trips or downtime when choosing fuses that match fast-load transients and replacement availability. This CE-marked Bussmann series device delivers 15 A at 250 V with a 750 AIC interrupt rating at 250 VAC (10 kAIC at 125 VAC), offering robust protection across industrial controls. With ferrule-end connections and nickel-plated endcaps, it installs quickly in standard fixtures, delivering consistent performance and procurement simplicity for panel builders and maintenance teams. Its compatibility as a replacement for F15B supports streamlined sourcing and predictable maintenance budgets for OEMs and service providers.

Datasheet - FNQ-30
The BAF-15 fuse is engineered for fast-acting overcurrent protection, which translates to rapid fault isolation and reduced arc energy. This accelerates safe shutdown in motor controllers and relay panels, helping minimize downtime and wear on upstream components. In practice, manufacturers see improved stability during transient load spikes, lower nuisance tripping rates, and better protection coordination within control architectures. The 15 A, 250 V rating aligns with common industrial control circuits, enabling straightforward substitution in existing panels without redesigns. Its 750 AIC at 250 VAC and 10 kAIC at 125 VAC provide ample headroom for typical panel fault currents, improving system reliability while meeting safety standards. Ferrule-end connections and nickel-plated endcaps simplify field wiring, ensuring durable terminations even in vibration-prone environments. As a direct replacement for F15B, procurement flows are smoother and stock levels easier to manage. This fuse also integrates seamlessly into Bussmann series catalogs, aiding cross-reference and maintenance planning.

FAQs
Install the BAF-15 in standard fuse holders that support ferrule-end terminations. Its dimensions—1.5 in length and 0.41 in both width and height—fit typical panel slots, and nickel-plated endcaps ensure durable connections in vibration-prone environments. Use the catalog number BAF-15 for consistent sourcing and confirm 250 V operation within the panel’s rating. If space is tight, verify clearances around the ferrule ends to avoid wiring stress.
The BAF-15 delivers 750 AIC at 250 VAC and 10 kAIC at 125 VAC, which ensures robust interruption during heavy fault currents. This capability helps minimize arc energy and enables safe isolation of faults in demanding applications such as machine drives and relay banks. When selecting for high fault current environments, verify system short-circuit currents to ensure the fuse operates within its interrupt thresholds without nuisance trips.
Yes. The BAF-15 is designed as a Bussmann series replacement for F15B fuses, sharing the same general footprint and ferrule-end connections. This compatibility simplifies retrofits in legacy equipment and reduces redesign risk. Always confirm catalog cross-reference and ensure the 15 A, 250 V rating aligns with system requirements and downstream protection coordination.
The BAF-15 is CE marked, indicating compliance with European safety standards for electrical protection devices. This certification supports deployment in European equipment and assembly lines, simplifying regulatory acceptance and customer audits. While CE marks the device, always verify additional regional requirements or standards applicable to specific industries or equipment classes.
Maximize ROI by maintaining stock of the BAF-15 (Catalog N: BAF-15) using its UPC 051712320153 to streamline procurement. Exploit non-indicating design to reduce misinterpretation in panels, and rely on its standard Bussmann series compatibility for uniform parts across fleets. Plan replacements based on fault history and load profiles, and leverage CE compliance for inspections to avoid non-conformance costs.
