Feature: Compact physical footprint enables higher panel density and easier manual handling. The BK/GMT-10-X measures 0.78 in long, 0.62 in high, and 0.11 in wide, and weighs 0.04 lb. This small profile frees panel space, reduces cable clutter, and simplifies serviceability, particularly in high-density telecom enclosures and distributed-control cabinets. Engineers report faster wiring, simpler labeling, and improved airflow thanks to predictable mounting with GMT holders. Feature: Versatile electrical rating and AC/DC operation. The fuse delivers 10 A of protection with voltage ratings of 125 Vac and 60 Vdc, enabling use across mixed power rails. This reduces part counts and stocking complexity, speeds time-to-protect circuits during design reviews, and supports telecom equipment, network cabinets, and industrial control panels where both AC and DC protection is required. Feature: RoHS compliance and material integrity. RoHS compliance ensures environmental responsibility and supplier compliance in global supply chains. Paired with Eaton’s GMT family, it provides a consistent protection strategy across devices, reducing regulatory risk and helping customers meet corporate sustainability goals. Feature: Holder compatibility and installation efficiency. Designed to pair with fuse holders HLT, HLS, and PCT, BK/GMT-10-X streamlines procurement and stocking, enables quick swaps in the field, and minimizes downtime during maintenance. The standard GMT form factor also reduces design complexity for new equipment upgrades. Feature: Reliability and lifecycle impact. The GMT line is known for consistent trip characteristics and dependable performance under diverse loads. Using this fuse supports predictable maintenance planning, lowers total cost of ownership, and helps ensure uptime in telecom and industrial installations. Feature: Industry context and insights. In telecom networks, compact, RoHS-compliant protection fuses that fit common holder ecosystems simplify procurement, testing, and compliance audits. The BK/GMT-10-X embodies those benefits while delivering a practical balance of protection, space efficiency, and supplier support from Eaton.

FAQs
Yes. BK/GMT-10-X is designed to work with HLT, HLS, and PCT fuse holders. Install the fuse in series with the protected circuit and ensure the holder is rated for 10 A and the system voltage. Verify proper orientation, tighten terminals to spec, and follow the manufacturer's installation guidelines to avoid false trips.
BK/GMT-10-X provides a 10 A amperage rating with voltage ratings of 125 Vac and 60 Vdc, and supports AC/DC operation. This makes it suitable for telecom and mixed-power environments where both AC and DC supply rails exist. The 125 Vac/60 Vdc specification helps balance protection with compatibility, reducing the need for separate fuses across different rails.
Yes, BK/GMT-10-X is RoHS compliant, aligning with environmental and regulatory expectations for electronics used in telecom and industrial equipment. RoHS certification reduces the risk of hazardous substances in end products and simplifies supplier audits. It supports green initiatives and helps avoid supply chain interruptions when sourcing from Eaton Bussmann GMT families.
BK/GMT-10-X is ideal for telecom equipment, network cabinets, and industrial control panels where reliable overcurrent protection is essential. Its 10 A AC/DC rating supports mixed-power designs, while the small footprint helps meet panel density targets. The fuse arrangement with HLT/HLS/PCT holders simplifies field upgrades and stock management.
With a compact footprint of 0.78 inch length, 0.62 inch height, and 0.11 inch width, BK/GMT-10-X minimizes panel intrusion and supports high-density installations. Weighing about 0.04 lb, it adds minimal weight to assemblies. Standardized dimensions also simplify enclosure design and stock planning for Eaton GMT fuses. This helps reduce installation time during panel builds and service.
