BC6033P Fuse Block Cartridge 600V 30A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The BC6033P is a 3-circuit cartridge fuse block rated for 600V at 30A, designed for chassis mount applications. Manufactured by Eaton - Bussmann Electrical Division, this component is classified as obsolete. Due to its discontinued status, identifying equivalent and substitute parts is essential for system maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where this fuse block functionality is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the BC6033P is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 30 A (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 600V (exact match required)
• Number of Circuits: 3 (exact match required)
• Fuse Type: Cartridge (exact match required)
• Fuse Size: 0.394" Dia x 1.496" L / 10mm x 38mm (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Chassis Mount (exact match required)
• Termination Style: Screw Terminal and Pressure Plate compatibility (required)

Two substitute parts meet these criteria:

1. BCM603-3P (Eaton - Bussmann Electrical Division) - Direct manufacturer substitute, active product status
2. L60030C3PQ (Littelfuse Inc.) - Cross-manufacturer equivalent, active product status

Both substitutes maintain identical electrical specifications and mechanical form factors, ensuring direct functional replacement in applications originally designed for the BC6033P.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

BCM603-3P is the primary substitute option. As an active product from the original manufacturer (Eaton - Bussmann Electrical Division), it maintains design continuity and manufacturing consistency. RoHS compliance certification ensures compatibility with modern regulatory requirements. This part is recommended for applications requiring manufacturer-direct support and documentation traceability.

L60030C3PQ serves as a cross-manufacturer equivalent from Littelfuse Inc., an established supplier in the fuse and fuseholder market. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The addition of Quick Connect termination capability provides enhanced installation flexibility. This option is suitable for applications where multi-source component qualification is required or where Littelfuse supply chain integration is preferred.

Both substitutes are currently in active production with confirmed inventory availability, eliminating obsolescence risk associated with the BC6033P.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the BC6033P be directly replaced with BCM603-3P or L60030C3PQ?

A: Yes. Both substitutes maintain the same current rating (30A), voltage rating (600V), circuit count (3), fuse type (cartridge), and fuse dimensions (10mm x 38mm). Mechanical mounting and electrical performance are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between BCM603-3P and L60030C3PQ?

A: Both parts meet the core electrical and mechanical requirements. BCM603-3P is from the original manufacturer (Eaton - Bussmann) and carries RoHS compliance. L60030C3PQ is from Littelfuse Inc. and includes ROHS3 compliance plus Quick Connect termination as an additional feature. Contact material differs slightly (Bronze vs. Copper Alloy), though both are tin-finished and suitable for 600V applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these substitutes?

A: Yes. BC6033P and L60030C3PQ are supplied in standard packaging (Bulk and Box respectively). BCM603-3P is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new designs?

A: L60030C3PQ is recommended for new designs due to active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and the additional Quick Connect termination option. BCM603-3P is suitable if manufacturer continuity with Eaton - Bussmann is a design requirement.

Q: Are these parts compatible with Class CC fuses?

A: The BC6033P is specified for use with Class CC fuses in 13/32" x 1-1/2" size. L60030C3PQ is compatible with 5AG fuses in 13/32" x 1-1/2" (Midget) size. Verify fuse type compatibility with your specific application requirements.
