Eaton KLM-1/2 Fuse - 50 kAIC at 600 Vdc
Part Number: KLM-1/2
Quick Summary
Eaton KLM-1/2 fuse provides fast-acting overcurrent protection for control panels and machine wiring. Engineers often struggle with nuisance trips and finding a compact, reliable device that fits standard ferrule terminations. This fuse carries CE Mark and RoHS compliance, and it delivers high interrupt capability with up to 50 kAIC at 600 Vdc and 100 kAIC at 600 Vac. Its ferrule-end x ferrule-end connection, nickel-plated endcaps, and melamine tube support durable, vibration-resistant operation in industrial environments. The non-indicating design helps avoid false alarms in bright panels, while the compact form factor simplifies installation and stocking. Together, these features translate to reduced downtime, easier procurement, and a safer, compliant protection solution for automation and electrical protection needs.

KLM-1/2~KLM-1-2~LIMITRON FAST ACTING FUSE
0.5 A amperage rating provides precise protection for sensitive control circuits in PLC I/O modules and sensor networks, reducing nuisance trips while preserving legitimate operation. This translates to lower maintenance costs and less unplanned downtime in automation cabinets where tight current margins are common. The fuse supports reliable protection for low-current circuits, motor starters, and CPU rails, delivering predictable performance in busy panels. The device offers high interrupt ratings of up to 50 kAIC at 600 Vdc and 100 kAIC at 600 Vac, enabling rapid fault isolation and safeguarding downstream wiring and components. In practice, this means fewer component failures due to short circuits and quicker restoration after a fault. Ferrule-end terminations with nickel-plated bronze endcaps provide durable connections that tolerate vibration and field servicing, while the melamine tube offers robust insulation in harsh industrial environments. Non-indicating operation reduces visual noise in crowded switchgear, helping technicians focus on discrete diagnostics rather than indicators. The standard packaging and compatibility with Bussmann series components streamline stocking, procurement, and replacements across multiple assemblies. Combined with CE Mark and RoHS compliance, the KLM-1/2 supports regulatory alignment and audit-ready traceability for OEMs and end-users alike. In short, this fuse delivers reliability, ease of installation, and tangible cost savings by minimizing downtime and simplifying maintenance workflows in automated facilities.

FAQs
The KLM-1/2 is ideal for control panels, PLC I/O power rails, and sensor networks in automation environments. It provides precise 0.5 A protection with high interrupt ratings, supporting reliable operation in low-current circuits and compact enclosures.
It offers 50 kAIC at 600 Vdc and 100 kAIC at 600 Vac, enabling fast fault isolation for both DC and AC circuits in industrial equipment and automation systems.
Yes. The KLM-1/2 is CE marked and RoHS compliant, aligning with regulatory requirements and supporting sustainable, compliant manufacturing and maintenance.
It uses ferrule end x ferrule end terminations with nickel-plated bronze endcaps and a melamine tube, delivering durable, vibration-tolerant connections suitable for panel or harness assemblies.
No. The fuse is non-indicating, which can reduce visual noise in bright panels but requires system-level diagnostics to confirm fault status.
