Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the BK/MAX-60ID is determined by exact matching of the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 60 A
• Voltage Rating - DC: 32 V
• Fuse Type: Automotive
• Response Time: Fast Blow
• Package / Case: Blade, Max
• Breaking Capacity @ Rated Voltage: 1 kA
• Physical Dimensions: 1.150" L x 0.350" W x 0.850" H

The MAX-60 part number qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it maintains identical electrical specifications, mechanical form factor, and performance characteristics across all critical parameters. Both parts are manufactured by Eaton - Bussmann Electrical Division and belong to the MAX series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the BK/MAX-60ID and MAX-60 maintain Active product status from Eaton - Bussmann Electrical Division, confirming ongoing manufacturing and supply availability. The MAX-60 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification, which represents an enhanced compliance level relative to standard RoHS Compliance. Both parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 and share identical HTSUS coding, indicating equivalent regulatory treatment for export and procurement purposes.

Selection between these parts should be based on supply availability and compliance requirements specific to the application. The MAX-60 is suitable for applications requiring ROHS3 certification. Both parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable for 60 A, 32 V DC automotive fuse applications requiring fast-blow response in blade-type holders.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MAX-60 be used as a direct replacement for BK/MAX-60ID?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (60 A, 32 V DC), response characteristics (Fast Blow), mechanical form factor (Blade, Max), and breaking capacity (1 kA). Physical dimensions and color are identical. The parts are parametrically equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant?

A: ROHS3 Compliant represents compliance with the latest RoHS 3 directive, which includes additional restricted substances beyond the original RoHS standard. Both certifications indicate lead-free and hazardous substance restrictions suitable for automotive applications.

Q: Are these fuses compatible with the same holder?

A: Yes. Both parts use the Blade, Max package type and identical physical dimensions (1.150" L x 0.350" W x 0.850" H). They are mechanically interchangeable in any holder designed for MAX-series blade fuses.

Q: What is the breaking capacity specification?

A: Both parts have a breaking capacity of 1 kA at rated voltage (32 V DC). This specification defines the maximum fault current the fuse can safely interrupt without rupturing or creating a hazard.

Q: Are there any inventory considerations?

A: BK/MAX-60ID has 973 pieces in stock, while MAX-60 has 760 pieces in stock. Both are available as new original components from the manufacturer.
