Eaton BK/ATC-5 Series ATC blade fuse - 1 kAIC RoHS

Small form factor is a defining feature of the BK/ATC-5 blade fuse. It carries a 32 Vdc rating and 5 A amperage with a 1 kAIC interrupt rating, delivering reliable protection for DC circuits in compact spaces. The business impact is improved panel density and easier routing, which speeds assembly in control cabinets and motor-drive enclosures. Color code tan enhances visual identification during maintenance and troubleshooting. This reduces mis-wiring and accelerates fault isolation in busy control rooms, supporting faster repair cycles and less downtime. In applications like instrumentation panels and machine control, clear color-coding translates to measurable productivity gains. RoHS compliance addresses regulatory requirements for electronics manufacturing and supports green sourcing across the supply chain. While some deployments require CE or IP/SIL markings, this catalog item does not specify them; verify site standards with your compliance team. For many EU and North American applications, RoHS conformance streamlines procurement and warranty coverage. Non-indicating status lowers cost and simplifies inventory, while offering straightforward installation in standard ATC fuse blocks. Load-side protection remains visible through external indicators in system designs when needed, but customers often choose non-indicating fuses to reduce tamper risk and maintenance overhead in sensitive equipment. Packaging and compatibility choices reinforce procurement efficiency: BK/ATC-5 ships in standard packaging with 2000 units per bundle and is designed for blade-end ATC holders. This aligns with Eaton Bussmann ATC families and ensures consistent replacement strategies across equipment lines, minimizing downtime due to spare part shortages.
