Eaton BAF-8 Fuse - 8 A, 10 kAIC at 125 Vac
Part Number: BAF-8
Quick Summary
The Eaton BAF-8 fuse provides fast-acting overcurrent protection for small- to mid-sized circuits in industrial control panels. A common challenge in automation is locating a compact, reliable fuse that fits tight enclosures while delivering consistent interrupt ratings. This model offers a 8 A rating, 250 V operation, and a high interrupt rating of 10 kAIC at 125 Vac (and 200 AIC at 250 Vac), backed by durable nickel-plated endcaps and ferrule-term connections. It is CE marked, meeting essential safety standards for EU installations. By aligning with Eaton Bussmann's trusted fuse platform, engineers gain predictable protection, simplified stocking, and a standardized solution that reduces panel downtime and maintenance costs across automation applications.

FAQs
The BAF-8 uses ferrule-end terminations compatible with standard fuse holders. Ensure the enclosure provides adequate space for a 0.41 in width and 1.5 in height device and that wiring is terminated with appropriate ferrule lugs to maintain secure, vibration-resistant connections. Verify voltage rating (250 V) and amperage (8 A) to match the protected circuit.
The BAF-8 delivers a 10 kAIC interrupt rating at 125 Vac and 200 AIC at 250 Vac, enabling fast fault-current interruption with minimal impedance to downstream components. Its fast-acting design helps protect controllers, relays, and sensors from transient surges common in automation panels.
Yes. The BAF-8 is designed for compact control panels and automation applications where space is at a premium but reliable protection is required. With ferrule-end connections and 250 V operation, it integrates readily with standard panel components while meeting CE safety requirements for EU environments.
The BAF-8 is CE marked, indicating compliance with essential EU safety, health, and environmental requirements. While other certifications are not listed, CE marking supports regulatory alignment in many markets and simplifies procurement for equipment intended for EU installations.
The BAF-8 offers predictable protection with a compact form factor, reducing panel space and wiring complexity. Its high interrupt ratings minimize device damage from faults, lowering downtime and maintenance costs. Durable nickel-plated endcaps enhance longevity in demanding environments, contributing to lower replacement frequency and improved asset reliability.
