Eaton TPS-10L Telecommunication Fuse - 100 kAIC
Part Number: TPS-10L
Quick Summary
TPS-10L telecommunication fuse protects telecom PCB circuits by delivering fast, current-limiting protection for sensitive data lines in field environments. Engineers often contend with nuisance trips and limited protection, which can cause costly downtime; this device mitigates that risk with a robust 10 A rating and a high 100 kAIC interrupt rating. CE Marked and RoHS compliant, with a 170 Vdc voltage rating, it meets safety, reliability, and environmental requirements for network equipment. Its PCB tab and compact footprint simplify board layout and installation, enabling scalable deployments within Eaton Bussmann protection families while reducing spare-part variety for maintenance teams.

Eaton Specification Sheet - TPS-10L
High current rating and voltage tolerance: The TPS-10L delivers 10 A at 170 Vdc with a 100 kAIC interrupt rating, providing dependable protection for telecom power and data paths. This translates to reduced fault energy and fewer downstream failures, improving uptime in network equipment and data centers. It fits standard telecommunications PCB assemblies and is compatible with existing Bussmann series protection devices, enabling seamless integration into both legacy and new designs. Current-limiting protection and fast response: The fuse clamps fault currents quickly, protecting wiring harnesses and sensitive components while reducing arc flash potential in high-energy telecom environments. This capability supports safer field installations and lowers maintenance costs over the product lifecycle. Durable construction and reliability: Glass-melamine tube with silver-plated brass ferrules delivers robust performance under vibration and temperature cycling, aligning with the demands of data-center and field environments. PCB tab mounting and compact footprint: The 0.56 in x 0.56 in footprint simplifies automated assembly and high-density board layouts, enabling scalable deployments in compact telecom equipment. Regulatory compliance and lifecycle management: CE Marked and RoHS compliant ensures regulatory acceptance, while non-indicating operation pairs with external indicators or monitoring for asset management and predictable ROI.

FAQs
TPS-10L is compatible with standard telecom PCB layouts that use PCB tab-mounted fuses and Eaton Bussmann protection families. It fits typical board terminations and can be integrated into existing protection schemes for network equipment, data centers, and field-deployed telecom gear. When replacing, verify catalog TPS-10L, footprint 0.56 in, and height 0.88 in to ensure proper mounting.
Key specs include a 10 A amperage rating, 170 Vdc voltage rating, and a 100 kAIC interrupt rating, with current-limiting behavior and a non-indicating fuse indicator. It uses a glass melamine tube and silver-plated brass ferrules for durable connections, delivering fast fault clearing and circuit protection for telecom power and data paths.
Yes, the TPS-10L is CE Marked and RoHS compliant, meeting European safety and environmental requirements. This simplifies regulatory acceptance across markets for telecom equipment manufacturers and integrators, supporting compliance programs and sustainability initiatives.
It is well-suited for telecom PCB assemblies, network equipment, data centers, and field installations where surge and fault protection are critical. The 10 A / 170 Vdc / 100 kAIC ratings protect power rails and data lines, while the PCB tab design supports efficient mounting in compact enclosures and scalable manufacturing.
As a non-indicating fuse, plan for external status monitoring or fuse-detection indicators to track condition and replacement needs. With RoHS/CE compliance and a long service life, it can reduce downtime and spare-parts costs compared with lower-rated components. When replacing, use the TPS-10L catalog number and ensure correct PCB tab orientation for reliable performance.
