Eaton BBS-8 Fuse - 10 kAIC at 250V CE Marked
Part Number: BBS-8
Quick Summary
The Eaton Bussmann BBS-8 fuse provides fast-acting overcurrent protection for small electrical panels and control circuits. Engineers often contend with nuisance trips and costly downtime when selecting fuses for transient loads; the BBS-8 minimizes these events through rapid current interruption. CE Marked compliance supports safe, European installations while its 8 A rating and 10 kAIC interrupt rating deliver reliable protection in compact controls. With ferrule-end terminals and nickel-plated endcaps, installation is straightforward and durable in challenging environments, reducing replacement costs. The design also integrates smoothly with Bussmann midget fuse families, enabling robust protection within existing panel architectures and legacy equipment.

FAQs
For installation, ensure the panel offers space for the 0.37 in W × 0.37 in D × 1.31 in H body and supports ferrule-end connections. Use compatible Bussmann fuse holders and secure endcaps firmly to prevent loosening from vibration. Refer to the Eaton datasheet for mounting clearances and recommended torque values.
The BBS-8 is rated for 8 A with a voltage rating of 250 V and an interrupt rating of 10 kAIC at 250 VAC. It is a non-indicating, ferrule-end fuse with nickel-plated brass endcaps, designed for standard 250 V circuits in small control panels.
Yes. The BBS-8 fits compact control panels and PLC enclosures, offering reliable overcurrent protection for low-to-mid current loads. Its fast-acting response helps protect sensitive electronics while the 10 kAIC interrupt rating accommodates transient surges common in industrial environments.
The BBS-8 is CE Marked, indicating compliance with European safety requirements. This supports regulatory alignment for installations within CE jurisdictions and simplifies audit readiness for European facilities.
By delivering fast fault clearance and durable endcaps, the BBS-8 reduces downstream damage and maintenance costs. Its non-indicating design lowers wiring complexity, while CE compliance and compact form factor contribute to longer service intervals and improved system availability in targeted control applications.
