Bussmann BBS Series Fast-Acting Midget Fuse, Ferrule End Terminals

The Bussmann BBS Series is a line of Fast-Acting Midget Fuses from the Eaton Bussmann portfolio, engineered to deliver reliable overcurrent protection for compact electrical and control circuit applications. This family is available in amperage ratings from 10A through 20A, giving electricians and panel builders a consistent, code-compliant fuse platform to match a range of load requirements. Every option in the BBS Series is a Non-Indicating fuse with Ferrule end x ferrule end terminations for straightforward installation into standard midget fuse holders, blocks, and clips found in panelboards, control panels, and OEM equipment. Built on the 600V-rated Small Dimension Fuse platform and finished with Nickel-plated brass endcaps for corrosion resistance and dependable contact, the BBS Series is manufactured to the Standard class, ensuring repeatable fast-acting performance across every amperage option. Whether the application calls for a 10A, 15A, or 20A rating, the shared construction, termination style, and voltage platform make the BBS Series a dependable choice for space-constrained installations where a compact midget-style fuse is required.

Key Features

  • Amperage Rating Range: Available in 10A, 15A, and 20A options, with a fast-acting fuse element that responds quickly to overcurrent and short-circuit conditions to help protect downstream conductors and equipment.
  • Fast-Acting Midget Fuse: Part of the Eaton Bussmann series BBS line of fast-acting midget fuses, sized for compact fuse holders where space is limited.
  • Non-Indicating Design: Standard non-indicating construction means fuse condition is verified through visual inspection or continuity testing rather than a built-in indicator.
  • Ferrule End Terminals: Ferrule end x ferrule end terminations allow simple, tool-free installation into compatible midget fuse blocks and clip-style holders across every amperage option.
  • Voltage Rating: Built on the 600V Small Dimension Fuse platform, suitable for a range of low-voltage circuit protection applications.
  • Nickel-Plated Brass Endcaps: Durable, corrosion-resistant endcaps help maintain low-resistance electrical contact and reliable performance over the life of the fuse.
  • Standard Class Construction: Manufactured to the Standard class within the BBS series for consistent, repeatable fast-acting performance across the 10A-20A range.
  • Compact Midget Fuse Format: The midget fuse form factor allows higher packing density in fuse panels and control cabinets compared to larger fuse classes.

Bussmann BBS-10 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Bussmann BBS fuse fit a standard midget fuse holder?
Yes. The BBS Series is a midget-format fuse with ferrule end x ferrule end terminations, so it drops into standard midget fuse blocks, clips, and panel-mount holders without tools or adapters. There are no blade or bolt-on terminals to accommodate, just the two ferrule endcaps seating in the clips.
2) What amp ratings does the Bussmann BBS Series come in?
Three ratings: 10A (BBS-10), 15A (BBS-15), and 20A (BBS-20). All three share the same 600V rating, ferrule ends, and fast-acting element, so stepping between them on a panel build changes only the amperage.
3) Can I use a BBS midget fuse on a 480V control circuit?
The BBS Series carries a 600V rating, so it covers 480V and 240V control and distribution circuits as well as lower-voltage branch applications. A fuse may always be applied at or below its voltage rating.
4) Is the BBS a fast-acting fuse or a time-delay fuse, and does that matter for motor loads?
Fast-acting. The BBS element clears quickly on overcurrent and short circuit, which suits control circuits, electronics, and resistive or non-inductive loads. It is not a time-delay fuse, so an inrush-heavy load like a motor or transformer primary can open it on starting current. For those, specify a time-delay midget fuse instead.
5) I need to replace one blown fuse in a control panel - which BBS part number do I order?
Match the amperage marked on the fuse you pulled: BBS-10 for 10A, BBS-15 for 15A, BBS-20 for 20A. The body size, ferrule ends, and 600V rating are identical across all three, so the amp rating is the only thing you need to read off the old fuse. Do not step up to a higher amperage to stop repeat blowing; that defeats the protection of the downstream wiring.
6) How do I tell if a BBS fuse is blown?
By inspection or a continuity check. The BBS is a non-indicating fuse, so there is no pop-out pin or window to show an open element. On a populated panel that means pulling the fuse and testing it with a meter, which is worth knowing before you standardize a cabinet on it.
7) Why choose a midget fuse like the BBS over a larger class fuse in a control cabinet?
Space. The midget body packs more poles into the same panel width than larger fuse classes, which is why it is the common choice for industrial control panels, OEM equipment, and panel-mount holders. The trade-off is that your holder must be a midget-style block or clip; a larger class block will not hold it.
