Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the BK/AHC-30-R is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 30 A (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 600 V AC (exact match required)
• Fuse Type: Cartridge, Ceramic (exact match required)
• Response Time: Fast Blow (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 3AB, 3AG, 1/4" x 1-1/4" (exact match required)
• Breaking Capacity: 10 kA (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.250" Dia x 1.250" L (exact match required)
• Approval Agency: cURus (exact match required)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)

The substitute part BK1/AHC-30-R meets all specified parameters and is classified as a parametric equivalent within the Eaton AHC series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the BK/AHC-30-R and BK1/AHC-30-R are active products manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division within the AHC series. Both components carry cURus approval and maintain ROHS3 compliance, confirming their suitability for regulated applications.

The BK1/AHC-30-R substitute part demonstrates identical electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and regulatory certification status. Selection between these parts is based on availability, inventory levels, and procurement lead times rather than technical performance differentiation.

The BK1/AHC-30-R currently maintains higher inventory availability (1891 Pcs) compared to the BK/AHC-30-R (729 Pcs), making it a viable alternative for applications requiring expedited procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the BK1/AHC-30-R be used as a direct replacement for the BK/AHC-30-R?
