Eaton Specification Sheet - BK/PCT
Electrical rating and protection align with real-world panel needs; the 15 A, 125 Vac / 60 Vdc specification ensures robust protection for typical industrial loads while providing a clear margin for startup surges. This translates to fewer nuisance trips and improved uptime in manufacturing lines. The single-pole, panel-mount design reduces enclosure footprint and simplifies wiring, allowing faster installation and easier future upgrades in new or existing control cabinets. The thermoplastic body paired with tin-plated bifurcated copper terminals delivers strong mechanical integrity and corrosion resistance, lowering contact resistance and extending service life in challenging environments. RoHS compliance supports regulatory conformity and sustainability goals, while compatibility with Bussmann series fuses streamlines procurement and inventory management. The compact dimensions—0.55 in depth, 0.4 in height, 1.7 in width—facilitate tight layouts without compromising reliability. A 0.43 lb weight aids handling during assembly and replacement.

FAQs
To install the BK/PCT, mount the unit in a suitable panel opening designed for a single-pole fuse holder. Use the panel mounting hardware provided and connect the tin-plated bifurcated copper terminals to the corresponding fuse circuit leads. Ensure the enclosure offers adequate clearance for the 0.55 in depth and that wiring remains within insulation and clearance guidelines. The component is designed for straightforward integration with Bussmann series fuses and standard 15 A loads. Verify RoHS compliance for your region and follow your site’s lockout/tagout procedures during replacement or maintenance.
The BK/PCT fuse holder is rated at 15 A with a voltage rating of 125 Vac and 60 Vdc. It is designed for use with standard Bussmann series fuses in single-pole configurations. This combination provides reliable overcurrent protection for panel-mounted control circuits while allowing straightforward replacement with the compatible fuse links from the Bussmann family. For critical systems, always confirm the fuse type and ratings align with your load current and inrush characteristics.
Yes, the BK/PCT is well-suited for general electrical protection in manufacturing control panels. Its thermoplastic body, tin-plated copper terminals, and RoHS compliance support durable performance in typical industrial environments. The compact form factor minimizes enclosure footprint, aiding compact panel designs. While it offers robust electrical protection, always consider enclosure protection, vibration, and exposure conditions; use appropriate enclosure integrity and mounting practices to maximize reliability.
The BK/PCT is RoHS compliant, meeting essential substance restrictions for many regions. Additional certifications are listed as Contact Manufacturer in the provided data, so consult Eaton for full, up-to-date regulatory documentation relevant to your application and geography. This approach helps ensure your panel assemblies meet local safety, environmental, and industry requirements while maintaining procurement consistency with Bussmann series components.
The BK/PCT contributes to maintenance efficiency by delivering a reliable, easy-to-replace fuse holder with a standard catalog number.
