Eaton Specification Sheet - BBS-1/10
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 0.1 A amperage rating enables precise protection for low-current control circuits, reducing nuisance trips and safeguarding sensitive electronics in instrumentation racks and control panels. This translates to improved line uptime and lower warranty costs, especially in legacy systems that require tight protection tolerances. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 10 kAIC interrupt rating at 600 Vac provides high-energy fault resilience, minimizing arc exposure and yielding safer maintenance windows in motor control centers and machine interfaces. Use this in high-energy industrial environments where system availability is critical and downtime is costly. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Nickel-plated brass endcaps deliver corrosion resistance and durable contact reliability, enabling longer service life in humid or dusty panels common in manufacturing lines and material handling setups. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The small 0.36 in length and standard packaging support quick swaps and space-efficient panel layouts, accelerating spare parts management and reducing installation time on new builds or retrofits. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Non-indicating fuse status requires compatible monitoring practices, offering cost savings on indicators while encouraging proactive panel monitoring and remote diagnostics in distributed control systems. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Replacement for F16B fuses simplifies cross-reference and stocking for maintenance teams, enabling faster procurement and consistent fault protection across legacy and new equipment.

FAQs
The BBS-1/10 is a replacement option for F16B fuses, sharing a compact form with a 0.1 A rating and 600 V capability. When swapping, verify mechanical fit (length and endcap style), confirm the 10 kAIC interrupt rating, and ensure the new fuse meets the same control-circuit protection needs. Keep in mind the non-indicating status and plan for suitable monitoring or indication in your panel.
The BBS-1/10 fuse has a 10 kAIC interrupt rating at 600 Vac. This matters because it defines the maximum fault current the fuse can safely interrupt without damage, directly impacting worker safety, arc flash risk, and equipment protection in high-energy industrial circuits.
Yes. The extended description lists HID ballasts among its intended uses. With a 0.1 A rating and 600 V rating, it protects control and ballast circuits while maintaining compatibility with Bussmann series components, aiding reliable operation in lighting and industrial equipment.
The product is CE Marked, indicating conformance with applicable European safety standards. This helps ensure regulatory compliance when installed in CE-compliant facilities or multi-country projects in regions that recognize CE as a baseline safety mark.
Non-indicating fuses do not show visual blown status, so you should implement periodic monitoring or remote indicators to verify operation. Plan for routine electrical testing, keep spare units on hand, and consider panel-monitoring solutions to reduce unplanned downtime.
