Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BCA6031PQ is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 30A
• Voltage Rating: 600V
• Number of Circuits: 1
• Fuse Type: Cartridge
• Mounting Type: Chassis Mount
• Termination Style: Screw Terminal, Pressure Plate, Quick Connect

The substitute part BCM603-1PQ maintains electrical compatibility through identical current and voltage ratings, single-circuit configuration, and cartridge fuse type. Both components are manufactured by Eaton - Bussmann Electrical Division and share the same HTSUS classification (8538.90.8180), confirming functional equivalence for Class CC fuse block applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BCM603-1PQ is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete BCA6031PQ. Both components are RoHS compliant and share identical electrical specifications (30A, 600V, single-circuit cartridge configuration). The BCM603-1PQ maintains active product status with current manufacturing support, providing supply chain continuity for applications requiring 30A Class CC fuse block functionality at 600V.

Selection of BCM603-1PQ is appropriate for direct replacement in existing designs where the BCA6031PQ is no longer available. Compliance certifications (RoHS, ECCN EAR99) are maintained across both components.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BCM603-1PQ directly replace BCA6031PQ in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical ratings (30A, 600V), single-circuit configuration, cartridge fuse type, and RoHS compliance. The BCM603-1PQ is the manufacturer-designated substitute.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The BCA6031PQ is classified as obsolete. The BCM603-1PQ provides equivalent functionality with active manufacturing status and current availability.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these components?

A: The BCA6031PQ is specified with dash packaging notation, while BCM603-1PQ is supplied in bulk packaging. This reflects distribution format only and does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Do both components accept the same fuse specifications?

A: Both are designed for Class CC cartridge fuses with 13/32" x 1-1/2" dimensions (10mm x 38mm). Fuse compatibility is maintained across the substitution.

Q: Are compliance certifications identical?

A: Yes. Both components are RoHS compliant with ECCN classification EAR99 and HTSUS code 8538.90.8180.
