FAQs
BK/GMT-1/2A is designed for compatibility with typical telecom enclosures and standard fuse holders due to its compact 0.78 in x 0.62 in x 0.11 in dimensions and a 0.1 lb weight. Tin-plated beryllium copper terminals provide reliable terminations, while the non-indicating design reduces maintenance checks. This makes field swaps straightforward during rack upgrades or cabinet refreshes, minimizing downtime and inventory complexity for service teams.
The fuse is rated at 0.50 A with voltage ratings of 125 Vac and 60 Vdc. Interrupt ratings are 300 AIC at 125 Vac and 450 AIC at 60 Vdc, delivering strong protection against both AC and DC faults. Its fast-acting behavior ensures rapid fault clearance, reducing stress on upstream transformers and power rails in telecom networks.
Yes. The BK/GMT-1/2A carries CE marking and RoHS compliance, aligning with European regulatory requirements and environmental directives. These certifications support global deployments, ensuring compatibility with international procurement policies and reducing compliance-related risk for multi-region projects.
Ideal for telecom racks, data centers, and network equipment where compact form factors and reliable overcurrent protection are critical. The 0.50 A rating suits sensitive control circuits, while the high AIC ratings protect critical power paths during surges. This makes it suitable for line cards, distribution modules, and compact switchgear in carrier-grade deployments.
Non-indicating operation reduces routine visual inspections, streamlining maintenance. The fuse’s robust terminals and thermoplastic body resist environmental stress, lowering replacement rates. With CE/RoHS compliance, you gain international sourcing confidence and fewer regulatory delays, contributing to lower total cost of ownership through predictable part availability and reduced field service time.
