Eaton BK/GMT-5A Telecommunication Fuse - CE RoHS
Part Number: BK/GMT-5A
Quick Summary
Eaton GMT telecommunication fuse protects telecom circuits by interrupting faults in power, signal, and data lines. Engineers often struggle with transient faults and mis-sized protection that trigger unnecessary downtime. This GMT fuse is CE marked and RoHS compliant, aligning with global regulations and environmental standards. When you specify GMT-5A, you gain reliable 5 A protection in telecom racks with fast-acting response, and it integrates smoothly with standard Bussmann GMT components for scalable deployments and easier stocking.

Eaton Specification Sheet - BK/GMT-5A
Amperage and overcurrent protection: With a 5 A rating and voltage options of 125 Vac or 60 Vdc, the GMT-5A provides precise fault clearing while preserving valuable equipment. The 300 AIC interrupt rating at 125 Vac and 450 AIC at 60 Vdc limits fault energy, reducing component damage and extending system uptime for telecom servers, switches, and multiplexers. Application: telecom cabinets, data centers, and distributed antenna systems benefit from predictable protection that minimizes outages. Business impact: lower repair costs and shorter downtime, improving service level agreements and operator margins. Fast-acting, non-indicating design uses a thermoplastic body and tin-plated beryllium copper terminals for reliable field termination. Application: fast protection in densely populated panels and in environments requiring robust, low-resistance terminations. Business impact: quicker fault isolation and easier panel wiring for technicians. Physical footprint is compact (0.78 in L Ă— 0.62 in H Ă— 0.11 in W) with a weight of 0.1 lb, enabling dense mounting and simplified inventory. Application: space-constrained enclosures and standard GMT footprints. Business impact: higher packing density, reduced bill of materials, and streamlined logistics. Compliance and compatibility: CE Marking and RoHS compliance support global deployments and regulatory alignment with existing GMT series components. Application: OEMs and integrators can standardize on a single GMT solution across multiple regions. Business impact: simplified procurement, reduced supplier complexity, and consistent performance.
