Eaton BBS-1-6/10 Fuse - 10 kAIC at 600 Vac
Part Number: BBS-1-6/10
Quick Summary
The Eaton Bussmann BBS fuse is a compact overcurrent protection device designed for electrical panels and control circuits. For engineers facing nuisance trips or undersized protection, selecting the right fuse size and end terminations is critical to avoiding downtime and costly rework. The device carries CE marking to support European safety compliance, though the datasheet does not specify SIL or IP ratings. With a 1.6 A rating and a 10 kAIC interrupt rating at 600 V, it delivers dependable protection in a small footprint. When paired with ferrule-end terminations and nickel-plated brass endcaps, it supports easy installation and durable long-term service in standard enclosures and assemblies.

Eaton Specification Sheet - BBS-1-6/10
Feature → Business Impact → Application: 1.6 A amperage rating combined with a 10 kAIC interrupt rating at 600 Vac provides reliable protection against overcurrents in small control circuits, reducing the risk of equipment damage and downtime in automation panels. This enables engineers to design more robust motor starters and logic circuits for high-demand machinery. Application: ideal for compact control panels, machine protection loops, and distributed automation nodes where space is at a premium. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Ferrule-end x ferrule-end connections offer secure, vibration-resistant terminations that maintain low contact resistance and minimize connection failures in industrial environments. This improves panel longevity and simplifies field maintenance, making it easier to replace fuses during scheduled downtime. Application: control cabinets, PLC enclosures, and safety relay modules. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Nickel-plated brass endcaps resist corrosion and wear, extending fuse life in harsh environments and reducing replacement frequency. This translates into lower maintenance costs and a smaller total cost of ownership for OEMs and panel builders. Application: harsh factories, food/beverage lines, and process automation where exposure to moisture and contaminants is a concern. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Non-indicating design minimizes part complexity and cost, while technicians rely on current measurement or test methods to verify status, streamlining procurement and spare-part management. Application: maintenance shops and remote facilities needing quick stock turns. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Silver-plated fuse caps improve conductivity and contact reliability under high-current transients, supporting consistent performance in power distribution and machine protection. Application: service panels with frequent switching and high inrush conditions. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Standard packaging and a compact footprint (0.36 in x 0.36 in x 1.34 in) fit readily into existing Bussmann series inventories and space-constrained enclosures, reducing logistics complexity and improving install efficiency. Application: multi-sku warehouses and panel assemblies with strict space planning.

FAQs
Install the BBS-1-6/10 with ferrule-end terminations into compatible bussing or terminal blocks in a control panel. Ensure the circuit is de-energized, verify the 1.6 A rating matches the protected load, and secure endcaps firmly to prevent loosening during vibration. Use the standard packaging for easy replacement during scheduled maintenance.
Key specs include amperage rating of 1.6 A, interrupt rating of 10 kAIC at 600 Vac, voltage rating of 600 V, ferrule-end connections, nickel-plated brass endcaps, and a compact footprint of 0.36 in x 0.36 in x 1.34 in. It is non-indicating and CE-marked, making it suitable for European panel applications.
Yes. The fuse is rated for 600 V with a 10 kAIC interrupt rating, making it appropriate for many industrial control panel circuits. It is designed for ferrule-term connections and provides a compact form factor ideal for space-limited enclosures in manufacturing environments.
The BBS-1-6/10 is CE Marked, indicating compliance with European safety requirements. The datasheet does not list SIL or IP ratings. For applications requiring specific certifications beyond CE, verify your facility's regulatory needs and consider additional component-level documentation or testing as needed.
The non-indicating design reduces part complexity and cost, while nickel-plated endcaps and ferrule terminals enhance durability and reliability, lowering replacement frequency. Its compact size simplifies stocking in multi-sku inventories, reducing downtime during fuse swaps and contributing to a lower total cost of ownership in automated lines.
