FAQs
The BBS-2 fuse is rated 2 A with an interrupt rating of 10 kAIC at 600 Vac. This supports fast fault clearing while protecting small control circuits. It uses ferrule-end x ferrule-end connections and nickel-plated endcaps, with a compact 1.38 in body suitable for panel mounting and standard Bussmann series housings.
Yes, the BBS-2 uses ferrule-end x ferrule-end connections designed for ferrule-compatible holders. Install the fuse in the holder with secure, straight ferrule terminations. The nickel-plated brass endcaps ensure reliable contact, and the standard packaging supports straightforward replacement in existing Bussmann series installations.
The BBS-2 is well-suited for industrial control panels, small power feeds, and machine control circuits operating up to 600 V. Its 2 A rating and 10 kAIC interrupt capability provide reliable protection for control electronics, PLC interfaces, and motor control sub-feeds in dense panel environments.
Yes, the BBS-2 is CE marked, indicating compliance with EU safety standards. This supports regulatory readiness for EU installations and simplifies cross-border deployment, particularly in facilities that require documented conformity of electrical protection devices in control systems.
The BBS-2 measures 1.38 inches in length, 0.41 inches in width and height, and weighs about 0.1 lb. This compact form factor enables tight panel layouts and easier retrofits, while leaving adequate clearance for wiring and ventilation in standard electrical enclosures.
