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

Part Overview

The BK/HKP-OO is a cartridge fuse holder manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division, designed for panel mount applications with a 30 ampere current rating at 250 volts. This component accommodates 0.25" diameter by 1.26" length cartridge fuses (3AG, 1/4" x 1-1/4" SFE-20 standard). The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing procurement and system maintenance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BK/HKP-OO 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)
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount
• Number of Circuits: 1
• Termination Style: Solder Lug
• Contact Material: Brass
• Contact Finish: Tin
• Fuse Type: Cartridge

The substitute part BK/HKP-OO-R maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and improved regulatory compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BK/HKP-OO-R is the direct substitute for the obsolete BK/HKP-OO cartridge fuse holder. Both parts are manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division and share identical electrical ratings (30A, 250V), mechanical dimensions (0.25" x 1.26"), and functional specifications.

The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: BK/HKP-OO-R maintains active production status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. Additionally, BK/HKP-OO-R achieves RoHS compliance, whereas the original BK/HKP-OO does not. Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8538.90.8180) classifications.

For new designs or component replacement requiring regulatory compliance with RoHS directives, BK/HKP-OO-R is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where RoHS compliance is not mandated, either part functions identically within the specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. They share identical current ratings (30A), voltage ratings (250V), fuse dimensions (0.25" x 1.26"), mounting configuration (panel mount), and termination style (solder lug). The BK/HKP-OO-R is the active production equivalent.

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

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. BK/HKP-OO is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. BK/HKP-OO-R is active production and RoHS compliant. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: BK/HKP-OO-R is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas BK/HKP-OO packaging is not specified. This distinction affects procurement and inventory management but does not impact functional performance.

Q: What fuse types are compatible with these holders?

A: Both holders accommodate 3AG cartridge fuses with dimensions 1/4" x 1-1/4" (6.35mm x 32mm), designated as SFE-20 standard.

Q: Are moisture sensitivity considerations relevant for these parts?

A: Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture-related storage or handling restrictions.
