FAQs
BAF-6 uses ferrule-end x ferrule-end connections with nickel-plated endcaps, designed for ferrule-compatible terminations. Verify ferrule size and wire gauge in your panel to ensure proper seating and reliable contact, then swap in the BAF-6 without modifying existing bus bars or holders.
The BAF-6 is a 6 A fast-acting fuse rated for 250 V. It provides 200 AIC at 250 Vac and 10 kAIC at 125 Vac, supporting protection for inductive and resistive loads in low voltage circuits while maintaining safe shutdown during fault events.
Yes. The BAF-6 is listed as a replacement for F15B in its special features, matching the Bussmann-series form factor, endcap configuration, and electrical ratings so it can retrofit legacy installations with minimal modifications.
The BAF-6 carries CE Marked compliance, indicating conformance with EU safety directives. This supports use in European-control panel applications, though local requirements should be reviewed for additional certifications depending on the sector and country.
The BAF-6’s robust build, nickel-plated endcaps, and ferrule-end connections reduce contact resistance and corrosion, improving reliability and reducing downtime. Its compatibility with standard Bussmann-series inventories simplifies stocking, enabling faster replacements and lower lifecycle costs in automation and control environments.
