FAQs
The BBS-7 uses ferrule end x ferrule end connections, with nickel-plated brass endcaps for durable terminations. This ferrule-to-ferrule format is common in panel and DIN-rail fuse applications, enabling straightforward replacement and reliable contact under vibration. Ensure conductor sizes and crimp tooling compatibility align with the ferrule specifications for secure connections.
The fuse is rated 7 A with an interrupt rating of 10 kAIC at 250 VAC and a voltage rating of 250 V. This means it supports continuous operation up to 7 A, clears high-energy faults up to 10 kA without damage, and is suitable for control circuits and panel protection within standard low-voltage systems. Use within these limits to ensure reliable protection.
Best for industrial control panels, automation equipment, and relay/PLC circuits in low-voltage systems. Its compact size (0.37 in wide, 1.31 in high) and standard packaging fit tightly constrained panels and align with Bussmann’s product ecosystem. The non-indicating design reduces nuisance indicators, while CE marking supports compliance in European installations.
The BBS-7 is a standard Bussmann series component with ferrule-end connections and nickel-plated endcaps, designed for reliable and straightforward installation in typical fuse carriers. Its dimensions and packaging are compatible with common clip-based holders and carriers. For mounting guidance and replacement intervals, consult the Bussmann series catalogs and Eaton datasheets.
A non-indicating design simplifies fault replacement, reducing inspection time. The high interrupt rating minimizes downtime during faults, improving overall equipment availability. CE compliance supports regulatory alignment, while robust endcaps and compact form factor lower maintenance costs and spare-parts stocking needs for multi-site operations and OEM integrations.
