Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the BK/ATC-15 are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Critical):

• Current Rating: 15 A
• Voltage Rating - DC: 32 V
• Response Time: Fast Blow

Mechanical Parameters (Critical):

• Package / Case: Blade, ATO/ATC
• Mounting Type: Requires Holder
• Physical dimensions compatible with ATO/ATC holders

Regulatory & Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 Compliance
• UL or equivalent automotive certification (CSA, SAE)

All substitute parts listed maintain these core parameters. Variations in packaging format (Bulk vs. Box) and manufacturer-specific product lines (ZXPRO, HXGLO, MXGLO, VPGLO) do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts meet the electrical and mechanical requirements for direct replacement of the BK/ATC-15 in automotive fuse applications. Selection among substitutes should be based on:

Certification Coverage: Parts 0ATO015.ZXPRO, 0ATO015.HXGLO, and 0ATO015.MXGLO carry SAE certification in addition to CSA and UL, providing broader automotive standards compliance. Parts 0ATO015.V and 0ATO015.VPGLO carry CSA and UL certifications.

Packaging Format: 0ATO015.ZXPRO is supplied in Box packaging; all other substitutes are supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging selection depends on inventory and procurement requirements.

Inventory Availability: Littelfuse parts 0ATO015.V (30,658 pcs), 0ATO015.MXGLO (1,704 pcs), 0ATO015.VPGLO (1,110 pcs), 0ATO015.ZXPRO (1,038 pcs), and 0ATO015.HXGLO (874 pcs) are in stock. The original BK/ATC-15 (1,138 pcs) is also available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Littelfuse ATO fuses replace Eaton Bussmann ATC fuses?

A: Yes. Both ATO and ATC designations refer to the same blade fuse form factor and holder interface. The substitute Littelfuse parts listed are mechanically and electrically compatible with ATC holders specified for the BK/ATC-15.

Q: What is the difference between 0ATO015.V, 0ATO015.ZXPRO, 0ATO015.HXGLO, 0ATO015.MXGLO, and 0ATO015.VPGLO?

A: All five parts share identical electrical specifications (15 A, 32 V DC, Fast Blow). Differences are limited to packaging format (Box vs. Bulk) and manufacturer product line designations. The ZXPRO, HXGLO, MXGLO, and VPGLO variants represent different distribution channels or packaging configurations from Littelfuse Inc., with no impact on fuse performance or compatibility.

Q: Are dimensional variations between BK/ATC-15 and Littelfuse substitutes significant?

A: Dimensional differences are minor (BK/ATC-15: 19.30 x 5.25 x 12.50 mm vs. Littelfuse: 19.05 x 5.08 x 12.19 mm). Both form factors are within ATO/ATC blade fuse specifications and are mechanically compatible with standard automotive fuse holders.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL certification. Parts 0ATO015.ZXPRO, 0ATO015.HXGLO, and 0ATO015.MXGLO additionally carry SAE and CSA certifications, providing expanded automotive standards coverage.

Q: What voltage rating applies to these fuses?

A: All parts are rated for 32 V DC operation. Littelfuse substitutes also carry 32 V AC rating, providing additional operational flexibility in AC circuits.
