It features a 0.36 in by 0.36 in cross-section and a 1.34 in height with nickel-plated brass endcaps, making it suitable for dense panel layouts. Ensure your holder supports 600 V systems and the 1 A rating for proper fit and safe operation.
The BK/BBS-1 provides a 1 A amperage rating, a 600 V voltage rating, and an interrupt rating of 10 kAIC at 600 VAC. It is a non-indicating fuse with a nickel-plated brass endcap assembly and fiber tube construction, packaged in bulk. These specs support reliable overcurrent protection in control circuits and electronic devices.
Yes. The BK/BBS-1 is suitable for HID ballast circuits and control electronics within 600 V systems. Its 1 A rating and 10 kAIC interrupt capacity provide robust protection against overload events while its compact form factor helps fit into tight ballast enclosures and control panels.
BK/BBS-1 carries CE Marked compliance, aligning with EU safety standards for electrical protection devices. Eaton lists Certifications as 'Contact Manufacturer' for additional approvals beyond CE. If your installation requires SIL or IP ratings, consult Eaton for the specific certification path and ensure your compliance team has the latest documentation before procurement.
Bulk packaging streamlines procurement for high-volume builds, reducing order frequency and lowering unit costs. The BK/BBS-1's bulk designation enables efficient stocking alongside other Bussmann fuses, supporting maintenance schedules, OEM assembly lines, and repair operations with faster replenishment and consistent part availability.
