Use in non-live bench setups to preserve equipment while validating layout and labeling. Always verify packaging and part number before use to prevent mis-orders. This approach supports safe testing protocols and reduces downtime during diagnostics.
Key specifications include Catalog Number BK/72B-DUMMY, UPC 051712735728, dimensions 0.28 in length, 0.28 in width, 1.86 in height, and weight 0.1 lb. Compliance is CE Marked and RoHS. The packaging type is blister pack, and the product name is Eaton Bussmann series Type 7 telecommunication fuse. These details help with accurate ordering, storage, and cross-referencing in procurement systems.
Yes, the BK/72B-DUMMY is intended for testing rigs and spare parts programs in telecom environments. As a dummy fuse, it provides correct form factor without providing actual overcurrent protection, allowing engineers to verify mounting, labeling, and workflow in service scenarios. Its blister-pack packaging also aids field logistics by ensuring part integrity during transport.
The BK/72B-DUMMY is CE marked and RoHS compliant, which matters for global compliance and environmental responsibility. CE marking demonstrates conformity with essential health and safety requirements for electrical equipment sold in the European Economic Area, while RoHS restricts hazardous substances. These certifications help meet regulatory audits and support sustainable procurement practices.
Using a dummy fuse reduces procurement errors, streamlines spare parts inventory, and enhances QA processes by ensuring correct form factor and labeling without risking live protection. It supports faster repair cycles, safer testing, and predictable logistics in telecom projects. The blister-pack packaging further improves handling and traceability across warehouses and field kits.
