BK/HKP-L Cartridge Fuse Holder 30A 250V Panel Mount

Part Overview

The BK/HKP-L is a cartridge fuse holder manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division, designed for panel mount applications with a 30A current rating at 250V. This component accommodates 0.25" diameter by 1.26" length (6.35mm x 32mm) cartridge fuses in single-circuit configurations.

The BK/HKP-L carries an obsolete product status. Locating equivalent or substitute components is necessary to support ongoing maintenance, repair, and new design requirements where this fuse holder specification remains applicable.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the BK/HKP-L is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Current Rating: 30 A
• Voltage Rating: 250V
• Fuse Size: 0.25" Dia x 1.26" L (6.35mm x 32mm)
• Fuse Type: Cartridge
• Number of Circuits: 1
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount
• Termination Style: Solder Lug
• Contact Material: Brass
• Contact Finish: Tin

The substitute part BK/HKP-L-R maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the main part, ensuring direct functional compatibility in applications requiring this fuse holder configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BK/HKP-L-R serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete BK/HKP-L cartridge fuse holder. Both components share identical electrical ratings (30A, 250V), mechanical dimensions (0.25" x 1.26"), and functional specifications.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and regulatory compliance. The BK/HKP-L-R maintains active product status and carries ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the BK/HKP-L is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. For new designs and applications requiring current regulatory alignment, the BK/HKP-L-R is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where the original specification must be preserved, the BK/HKP-L-R provides functional equivalence with improved compliance posture.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BK/HKP-L-R be used as a direct replacement for BK/HKP-L?

A: Yes. Both components are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters: 30A current rating, 250V voltage rating, 0.25" x 1.26" cartridge fuse size, single-circuit configuration, panel mount orientation, and solder lug termination. Functional compatibility is assured.

Q: What is the difference between BK/HKP-L and BK/HKP-L-R?

A: The components are functionally equivalent. The BK/HKP-L-R differs in product status (active versus obsolete) and regulatory compliance (ROHS3 compliant versus RoHS non-compliant). Both maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these fuse holders?

A: The BK/HKP-L-R is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the BK/HKP-L packaging specification is not provided. This distinction affects procurement and inventory management but does not alter component functionality or electrical performance.

Q: What fuse types are compatible with these holders?

A: Both the BK/HKP-L and BK/HKP-L-R accommodate 3AG cartridge fuses with dimensions of 1/4" x 1-1/4" (0.25" x 1.26" or 6.35mm x 32mm).

Q: Is the BK/HKP-L still available for purchase?

A: The BK/HKP-L carries obsolete product status. The BK/HKP-L-R is the active equivalent and is the recommended selection for new procurement.
