BC6032B Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The BC6032B is a fuse block cartridge designed for 600V, 30A applications with 2-circuit configuration and chassis mount orientation. Manufactured by Eaton - Bussmann Electrical Division, this component is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status, identifying equivalent and substitute parts is essential for system maintenance, repair, and component replacement in existing installations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the BC6032B is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Current Rating: 30 A
• Voltage Rating: 600V
• Fuse Type: Cartridge
• Fuse Size: 0.394" Dia x 1.496" L (10mm x 38mm)
• Number of Circuits: 2
• Mounting Type: Chassis Mount
• Fuseholder Type: Block

The identified substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Variations in termination style (solder lug versus box lug), contact material composition, and product status (active versus obsolete) do not affect functional compatibility within the specified electrical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

L60030C2C (Littelfuse) is the primary substitute for BC6032B. This part maintains all critical electrical specifications (30A, 600V, cartridge type, 10mm x 38mm fuse size, 2-circuit block configuration, chassis mount) and is currently in active production status. The L60030C2C carries ROHS3 compliance certification, supporting modern regulatory requirements. Inventory availability is substantial at 1228 pieces.

BCM603-2C (Eaton) serves as an alternative substitute from the original manufacturer. As an active product with RoHS compliance, it maintains the 2-circuit block configuration. However, limited parameter specification data is available for this part. The wire connector termination style differs from the original solder lug design and requires evaluation for circuit board integration compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can L60030C2C directly replace BC6032B without circuit modification?

A: L60030C2C maintains identical electrical ratings (30A, 600V) and mechanical specifications (fuse size, 2-circuit block, chassis mount). The termination style differs (box lug versus solder lug), requiring verification of mounting compatibility with existing circuit board or panel layouts.

Q: What is the difference between BCM603-2C and L60030C2C?

A: Both are active substitutes for the obsolete BC6032B. BCM603-2C uses wire connector termination and is supplied in bulk packaging. L60030C2C uses box lug termination and is supplied in box packaging. Selection depends on circuit integration requirements and termination compatibility.

Q: Is RoHS compliance required for BC6032B replacement?

A: The original BC6032B does not specify RoHS status. Both substitute options (L60030C2C with ROHS3 and BCM603-2C with RoHS compliance) meet modern environmental standards. Compliance requirements depend on end-application regulatory obligations.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when selecting a substitute?

A: BCM603-2C is supplied in bulk packaging, while L60030C2C is supplied in box packaging. Packaging selection may affect inventory management and component handling procedures but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: What fuse types are compatible with these fuse blocks?

A: BC6032B is specified for Class CC fuses, 13/32" x 1-1/2". L60030C2C is specified for 5AG, 13/32" x 1-1/2" (Midget) fuses. Verify fuse type compatibility with your application requirements before component selection.
