Eaton BK/GMT-15A Telecommunication Fuse - CE RoHS
Part Number: BK/GMT-15A
Quick Summary
The Eaton BK/GMT-15A telecommunication fuse protects critical telecom circuits by delivering fast-acting overcurrent protection in data centers, network cabinets, and remote installations. When systems run tight on space and uptime is non negotiable, nuisance trips and hidden faults can extend outages; this fuse addresses that with a compact thermoplastic body and a proven interrupt rating. CE Marked and RoHS compliant, it aligns with regulatory and environmental requirements while delivering reliable performance across mixed AC and DC supplies. By pairing a 15 A rating with 125 Vac and 60 Vdc capability, it supports modern telecom power architectures. The result is improved service availability, lower spare parts burden, and simpler installation for high-density networks.

FAQs
BK/GMT-15A uses a standard Bussmann GMT form factor with tin-plated beryllium copper terminals and a compact thermoplastic body. Its standard packaging and 0.78 in length, 0.62 in height, and 0.11 in width enable straightforward drop-in replacement in common telecom enclosures, ensuring quick field upgrades without extensive rewiring.
The fuse is rated for 15 A with a voltage rating of 125 Vac and 60 Vdc. Interrupt ratings are 300 AIC at 125 Vac and 450 AIC at 60 Vdc, providing robust fault clearing for both AC and DC telecom power rails and helping protect sensitive equipment from high-energy faults.
Common applications include telecom power supplies, data-center networking gear, and outdoor equipment enclosures. Its compact size, fast-acting response, and compatibility with GMT-series accessories make it suitable for high-density network racks, edge devices, and field installations requiring reliable overcurrent protection.
The BK/GMT-15A is CE marked and RoHS compliant, meeting European regulatory requirements for electrical safety and environmental impact. This helps with global procurement and ensures alignment with industry standards for telecom hardware used in regulated deployments.
Because it is non-indicating, routine testing and periodic verification of fault conditions are recommended as part of standard maintenance. Its compact form factor and standard packaging simplify stocking and replacements, reducing downtime during service windows and lowering total cost of ownership in high-volume deployments.
