Based on the part number provided, **BKSLASHPCB-3-R** typically refers to a specific component within the **Bussmann (Eaton)** fuse block or fuse holder family. Specifically, it is a terminal or PCB-mount accessory used for securing and connecting fuses to a printed circuit board. Below is a detailed breakdown of its electronic and physical specifications. --- ## 1. Component Overview The BKSLASHPCB-3-R is a **PCB Fuse Clip** or terminal designed for high-current applications. It is most commonly used with 1/4" (6.3mm) diameter fuses, such as the standard 3AG or AGC glass and ceramic fuse series. ### Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Eaton (Bussmann Series) | | **Part Number** | BK/PCB-3-R | | **Component Type** | Fuse Clip / Terminal | | **Fuse Size Accommodated** | 1/4" (6.35mm) Diameter | | **Current Rating** | Typically up to 30A (Check specific fuse pairing) | | **Material** | Tin-plated Beryllium Copper or Spring Bronze | | **Mounting Type** | Through-hole PCB Mount | | **RoHS Compliant** | Yes (indicated by the "-R" suffix) | --- ## 2. Key Physical Features * **Design:** It features a "side-entry" or "vertical-mount" design that allows the fuse to be snapped into place. * **Stability:** Often includes two or more PCB pins to ensure mechanical stability during fuse insertion and extraction. * **Material Coating:** The tin plating provides excellent solderability and protects against corrosion/oxidation. --- ## 3. Electrical Characteristics The performance of this part is dictated by its contact resistance and heat dissipation: * **Low Resistance:** Designed to minimize voltage drop across the fuse connection. * **High Current Handling:** Unlike standard small-signal clips, the PCB-3 series is robust enough for power distribution circuits. * **Voltage Rating:** The clip itself does not have a voltage limit (it is a conductor), but it is rated based on the spacing and the fuse used (commonly up to 250V-600V depending on PCB layout). --- ## 4. Part Number Breakdown (Nomenclature) Understanding the prefix and suffix helps in identifying the exact variant: * **BK/**: Indicates "Bulk" packaging. * **PCB**: Identifies the product as a PCB-mount fuse clip. * **-3**: Refers to the specific style/size (3rd iteration/style in the series). * **-R**: Indicates Compliance with RoHS (Lead-free). --- ## 5. Typical Applications * **Power Supplies:** Securing input/output protection fuses. * **Industrial Controls:** Protecting internal circuitry from overcurrent. * **Consumer Electronics:** High-current appliances where a replaceable fuse is required on the board.
