Eaton Specification Sheet - BK/ATM-3
Its small form factor measures 1.38 in long by 0.44 in wide and 1.6 in high, enabling denser panel layouts. This compact footprint reduces enclosure size, simplifies wiring, and cuts installation time for control cabinets and automation modules. The violet color code on the colored plastic housing, along with non-indicating status, helps technicians identify circuits quickly during maintenance, reducing fault verification time in high-mix environments. With a 3 A amperage rating and a 32 Vdc voltage rating, the BK/ATM-3 provides precise protection for low-voltage circuits while minimizing nuisance trips in sensors, relays, and small motor controllers. The 1 kAIC interrupt rating ensures safe disconnect during fault events, protecting wiring and equipment across automotive modules and industrial panels. RoHS compliance and standard packaging of 500 units per box simplify procurement and compliance across global sites, supporting streamlined stocking and interchangeability with Bussmann series holders. Overall, the ATM blade fuse BK/ATM-3 delivers a reliable balance of space efficiency, clear identification, and industry-standard specifications that help maintenance teams meet uptime targets and cost controls.

FAQs
To install BK/ATM-3, insert the fuse into a standard blade fuse holder with blade ends, ensuring full seating and secure contact with the holder contacts. Use circuits rated for 3 A and 32 Vdc, verify the violet color code for quick verification, and replace like-for-like with a 3 A, 32 Vdc device if replacement is required. Maintain proper wire gauge and follow applicable enclosure clearance to avoid overheating and ensure reliable protection.
BK/ATM-3 provides a 3 A amperage rating, a 32 Vdc voltage rating, and a 1 kAIC interrupt rating. It is non-indicating and uses a blade-end design with a violet housing for easy circuit identification. This combination supports dependable protection for low-voltage control circuits while minimizing nuisance trips in typical automation applications.
Yes. The 32 Vdc rating makes BK/ATM-3 appropriate for automotive low-voltage systems and industrial control panels. The 1 kAIC interrupt rating provides reliable fault interruption, and the compact form factor supports dense panel layouts common in automation cabinets. Its color coding and standard packaging also streamline stocking and maintenance in both sectors.
BK/ATM-3 is RoHS compliant, aligning with environmental and manufacturing standards for electronics. For additional certifications beyond RoHS, consult Eaton’s specification resources or contact the factory to confirm any other regulatory markings or approvals required for your region or application.
BK/ATM-3 is stocked in standard packaging with 500 units per box, facilitating bulk procurement and consistent inventory management. This packaging supports streamlined replenishment for manufacturing lines and service inventories, reducing procurement overhead and ensuring availability for panel builders and maintenance teams.
