3 Amp Fast-Acting Ceramic Fuse, 250 V, 5 per Pack – Bussmann BK/ABC-3-R

Bussmann BK/ABC-3-R — 3 Amp Fast-Acting 250V Ceramic Fuse, 5 per Pack

The Bussmann BK/ABC-3-R is a fast-acting ceramic cartridge fuse designed to deliver dependable overcurrent protection in electronic circuits and control panels. Rated at 3 amps and 250 VAC (also rated for 125 VDC), this compact 1/4″ x 1-1/4″ fuse interrupts quickly to protect sensitive components and minimize collateral damage during fault conditions. The ceramic tube and nickel-plated brass end caps provide enhanced thermal and mechanical durability compared with glass fuses, making these fuses well suited to service environments where shock, vibration, or elevated temperatures are present. With a 100 AIC interrupting rating at 250 VAC and established response characteristics, the BK/ABC-3-R balances fast clearing time with predictable performance for repeatable field results. Each box contains five individually packaged fuses to simplify stocking and on-site replacements. Installers, electronics technicians, and OEM assembly teams will appreciate the consistent dimensions and form factor that fit standard 1/4″ x 1-1/4″ fuse clips and holders.

Keep a small quantity on hand for bench repairs, AV rack builds, and routine MRO cycles to reduce downtime. These fuses are non-indicating and intended for applications where a fast interruption profile is required.

Installation or Use Example:

During an AV rack service call, a technician replacing a blown input fuse on a power distribution module can swap a BK/ABC-3-R into the standard 1/4″ x 1-1/4″ fuse clip to restore protected power distribution quickly. Keeping a 5-pack in the service van reduces repeat trips and limits downtime for customers.
