BC6033S Fuse Block Cartridge 600V 30A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The BC6033S is a 3-circuit cartridge fuse block rated for 600V at 30A, designed for chassis mount applications with screw terminal connections. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where this functionality is required. The BC6033S accepts Class CC fuses in 10mm x 38mm cartridge format and serves as a critical protective device in electrical distribution systems.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the BC6033S are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

• 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: 10mm x 38mm (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Chassis Mount (exact match required)
• Termination Style: Screw Terminal (primary requirement; Quick Connect acceptable as supplementary feature)

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: BCM603-3S from Eaton - Bussmann Electrical Division and L60030C3SQ from Littelfuse Inc. Both maintain identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and functional specifications required for direct substitution in applications originally designed for the BC6033S.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both BCM603-3S and L60030C3SQ are active products suitable for replacing the obsolete BC6033S. Selection between these substitutes should be based on the following factors:

BCM603-3S is the direct manufacturer equivalent from Eaton - Bussmann Electrical Division, maintaining continuity within the same manufacturer ecosystem. This part is available in bulk packaging and carries the same ECCN and HTSUS classifications as the original.

L60030C3SQ from Littelfuse Inc. provides cross-manufacturer equivalence with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. This part is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, offering enhanced environmental compliance documentation. The addition of Quick Connect termination capability provides supplementary connection flexibility while maintaining full screw terminal compatibility.

Both parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8538.90.8180, ensuring consistent regulatory treatment. Inventory availability is confirmed for both substitutes, with L60030C3SQ offering 784 units and BCM603-3S offering 1122 units in stock.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BCM603-3S or L60030C3SQ be used as direct replacements for BC6033S in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts maintain identical current rating (30A), voltage rating (600V), circuit count (3), fuse type (cartridge), and fuse dimensions (10mm x 38mm). Screw terminal connections are compatible with original BC6033S installations.

Q: What is the difference between BCM603-3S and L60030C3SQ?

A: Both parts meet the core electrical and mechanical requirements for BC6033S substitution. BCM603-3S is from the original manufacturer (Eaton - Bussmann) and is supplied in bulk packaging. L60030C3SQ is from Littelfuse Inc., includes RoHS3 and REACH compliance documentation, and offers supplementary Quick Connect termination in addition to screw terminals.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the substitutes?

A: Yes. BCM603-3S is supplied in bulk packaging, while L60030C3SQ is supplied in box packaging. This distinction may affect procurement, storage, and handling procedures but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

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

A: The BC6033S and its substitutes accept Class CC cartridge fuses in 10mm x 38mm format, also referenced as 13/32" x 1-1/2" midget fuses. L60030C3SQ documentation specifically references 5AG fuse compatibility within this size class.

Q: Are these parts RoHS compliant?

A: BC6033S carries MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. L60030C3SQ is RoHS3 compliant. BCM603-3S RoHS status is not specified in available documentation. Environmental compliance requirements should be verified against specific application standards.
