FAQs
Yes. The CBF-10 is designed for automotive protection circuits and aligns with Bussmann series protection strategies, enabling straightforward integration with typical automotive panels and harness layouts. Always validate panel compatibility and installation guidelines from Eaton's datasheet to ensure a proper fit in your specific vehicle or equipment configuration.
The CBF-10 provides a 10 A amperage rating. Its physical footprint is 14.75 inches in length, 9.25 inches in width, and 7.5 inches in height, with a weight of 0.34 lb. These dimensions and mass influence enclosure space, mounting options, and handling during installation in automotive protection panels and planograms.
The CBF-10 is RoHS compliant, supporting environmental and materials standards required in many regions. Compliance status can impact supplier qualification, international manufacturing, and end-user acceptance. For additional regulatory approvals (such as CE or IP ratings), consult Eaton to confirm market-specific validations and ordering requirements.
Type II CBF-10 is well-suited for protecting automotive power distribution paths, ECU power feeds, lighting circuits, and sensor networks where reliable short-circuit protection is essential. Its design accommodates vibration and space constraints common in automotive harnesses, improving uptime in passenger cars, trucks, and off-road equipment.
The CBF-10 offers reliable, low-maintenance protection suitable for long service life in automotive environments. For ROI, focus on reduced downtime from short circuits, simpler spares management due to clear part identification (CBF-10), and streamlined sourcing via Bussmann series compatibility. Regular inspection aligned with vehicle maintenance cycles is recommended to verify circuit integrity.
