FAQs
BK/ATM-5 uses a standard ATM blade fuse format designed for common blade-fuse holders in industrial control panels. It fits compact enclosures where DC protection is required and pairs with compatible fuse clips and holders used in PLC racks, motor-control centers, and automation cabinets.
BK/ATM-5 provides a 5 A amperage rating, a 32 Vdc voltage rating, and a 1 kAIC interrupt rating. These ratings support reliable protection for DC circuits in automation equipment while enabling predictable fault clearance.
Yes. While rated at 32 Vdc, the BK/ATM-5 is suitable for many 24 VDC control circuits commonly used in industrial automation, provided the load current does not exceed 5 A and the wiring and enclosures meet safety standards.
BK/ATM-5 is RoHS compliant per the manufacturer’s specification. For additional certifications or approvals beyond RoHS, consult Eaton’s datasheets or contact the factory for the latest qualification statements.
Its 500-unit packaging supports high-volume stocking, reducing procurement delays. The tan color coding and compact form enable rapid identification and faster replacements, lowering maintenance time and downtime in automated lines while providing robust DC protection with a proven 1 kAIC interrupt rating.
