BM6033PQ Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The BM6033PQ is a fuse block cartridge designed for 600V, 30A applications with 3-circuit configuration and chassis mount orientation. Manufactured by Eaton - Bussmann Electrical Division, this component is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status, identifying equivalent and substitute parts is essential for system maintenance, repair, and continued operational support where original inventory is depleted.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the BM6033PQ is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Voltage rating of 600V
• Current rating of 30A
• 3-circuit configuration
• Cartridge fuse type with 10mm x 38mm dimensions
• Chassis mount orientation
• Compatible termination styles (Screw Terminal, Pressure Plate, Quick Connect)
• Compatibility with 5AG midget fuse cartridges

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: BMM603-3PQ (Eaton - Bussmann) and L60030M3PQ (Littelfuse Inc.). Both maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original BM6033PQ specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts are active products with current manufacturer support, addressing the obsolescence of the BM6033PQ. BMM603-3PQ maintains the Eaton - Bussmann product line continuity and carries RoHS compliance. L60030M3PQ from Littelfuse Inc. provides an alternative source with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, offering additional regulatory alignment for applications requiring enhanced environmental compliance documentation.

Selection between the two substitutes should be based on supply chain preference, existing vendor relationships, and specific regulatory requirements of the end application. Both parts satisfy the electrical and mechanical requirements of the BM6033PQ.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BMM603-3PQ directly replace BM6033PQ in existing installations?

A: Yes. BMM603-3PQ maintains identical voltage (600V), current (30A), circuit count (3), fuse size (10mm x 38mm), and mounting configuration (chassis mount). Termination compatibility includes pressure plate and quick connect options. Verify screw terminal availability if your application requires this specific termination method.

Q: What is the difference between BMM603-3PQ and L60030M3PQ?

A: Both parts meet the core electrical and mechanical specifications of the BM6033PQ. The primary differences are manufacturer (Eaton vs. Littelfuse), packaging format (bulk vs. box), and regulatory certifications (RoHS vs. ROHS3 with REACH documentation). Electrical performance and physical compatibility are equivalent.

Q: Is the BM6033PQ still available?

A: The BM6033PQ is classified as obsolete. However, 957 units remain in current inventory. For long-term supply assurance, transition to BMM603-3PQ or L60030M3PQ, both of which are active products with ongoing manufacturer support.

Q: Are there any termination style differences I should consider?

A: The BM6033PQ supports screw terminal, pressure plate, and quick connect termination. BMM603-3PQ supports pressure plate and quick connect. L60030M3PQ supports all three termination styles. If your application requires screw terminal connections, L60030M3PQ is the recommended substitute.

Q: What fuse cartridges are compatible with these fuse blocks?

A: All three parts are designed for use with 5AG midget cartridge fuses with dimensions 13/32" x 1-1/2" (10mm x 38mm). Ensure fuse cartridge specifications match this standard.
