BK/S-8002-8 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The BK/S-8002-8 is an 8-circuit cartridge fuse block rated for 30 A at 600V, designed for chassis mount applications. Manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division, this component is classified as obsolete. Due to its discontinued status, identifying equivalent substitute parts with matching electrical and mechanical specifications is essential for system maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where this fuse block architecture is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BK/S-8002-8 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Specifications: Current rating (30 A), voltage rating (600V), and number of circuits (8) must be identical
• Mechanical Specifications: Fuse size (0.25" Dia x 1.26" L), mounting type (chassis mount), and termination style (solder lug) must match exactly
• Functional Compatibility: The substitute must accept the same fuse standard (3AG, 1/4" x 1-1/4")

The substitute part 03540008ZXGY from Littelfuse meets all these criteria and is therefore classified as a direct equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 03540008ZXGY from Littelfuse is a direct functional equivalent to the BK/S-8002-8. Both components share identical electrical ratings (30 A, 600V, 8 circuits), mechanical dimensions (0.25" Dia x 1.26" L), and termination specifications (solder lug).

The primary distinction is product status and regulatory compliance. The BK/S-8002-8 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 03540008ZXGY is an active product with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. For new designs or systems requiring regulatory compliance documentation, the Littelfuse 03540008ZXGY is the appropriate selection. For legacy system repairs where original specifications must be maintained, the BK/S-8002-8 remains functionally equivalent where available inventory permits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Littelfuse 03540008ZXGY be used as a direct replacement for the Eaton BK/S-8002-8?

A: Yes. Both components have identical electrical ratings (30 A, 600V), mechanical dimensions (0.25" Dia x 1.26" L), circuit count (8), fuse type (cartridge), mounting configuration (chassis mount), and termination style (solder lug). They accept the same fuse standard (3AG, 1/4" x 1-1/4").

Q: What is the primary reason to substitute the BK/S-8002-8?

A: The BK/S-8002-8 is classified as obsolete. The Littelfuse 03540008ZXGY is an active product with current manufacturing support and availability.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The BK/S-8002-8 is RoHS non-compliant. The 03540008ZXGY is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. For applications requiring regulatory compliance documentation, the Littelfuse part is required.

Q: Do these fuse blocks accept the same fuse cartridges?

A: Yes. Both are designed for 3AG cartridge fuses in the 1/4" x 1-1/4" (SFE-20) standard.

Q: What are the contact material differences?

A: The BK/S-8002-8 uses spring bronze contacts with tin-lead finish. The 03540008ZXGY uses phosphorus bronze contacts with tin finish. Both materials provide equivalent electrical performance for this application.

Q: Is the Littelfuse part available in the same packaging as the original?

A: The BK/S-8002-8 packaging is listed as dash (unspecified). The 03540008ZXGY is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specification.
