FAQs
The CBF-6 is designed for integration within automotive protection panels and fuse blocks. Confirm panel footprint and mounting clearances (dimensions: 14.75 in L, 7.5 in H, 9.25 in W) before installation. Ensure 6 A rating aligns with the protected circuit, and follow standard automotive wiring practices to maintain RoHS compliance and reliable trip performance.
Key specs include a 6 A amperage rating and Type II trip characteristics. This provides targeted overcurrent protection for low-to-medium current automotive circuits, reducing wiring insulation wear and nuisance trips while improving system uptime in control panels and protection blocks.
Yes, the CBF-6 is RoHS compliant, meaning it meets restrictions on hazardous substances for electronic components. This supports regulatory compliance in many regional markets and simplifies sourcing for global automotive programs, though additional region-specific approvals should be confirmed with Eaton when required.
RoHS is specified for this product. For broader automotive certifications such as CE or IP ratings, please contact Eaton for current qualification status and any available documentation to meet your OEM or regulatory requirements.
The CBF-6 offers predictable overcurrent protection with a straightforward Bussmann-series footprint, reducing unplanned downtime and warranty costs. Its compatibility with existing Eaton protection ecosystems simplifies spares management and accelerates installation, delivering faster time-to-value in fleet or OEM deployments.
