Bussmann easyID Illuminating Blade Fuse BP/ATC-3ID Violet Pack of 2

Description

Product Overview

The Bussmann easyID BP/ATC-3ID Illuminating Blade Fuse is engineered to deliver immediate visual feedback on fuse status through an integrated violet LED. Rated for 32 V DC operation and a maximum current of 3 A, the fuse is suitable for low‑voltage automotive and equipment circuits that may draw up to 100 A in peak conditions. Constructed from high‑impact plastic with a machined exterior, the fuse offers robust protection while maintaining a lightweight profile of just 0.16 oz. Its through‑hole mounting style conforms to standard blade fuse slots, allowing a drop‑in replacement without the need for additional wiring or adapters. The product complies with SAE standards, ensuring it meets industry‑wide safety and performance criteria. Dimensions of 4 × 2 × 3 inches provide a compact footprint that fits easily into most fuse panels, and the violet coloration aids quick identification among other components. Each package contains two fuses, each bearing the manufacturer part number BP/ATC-3ID and a unique UPC of 051712237796 for inventory tracking.

Usage

These illuminating blade fuses are ideal for a range of low‑voltage applications where rapid fault detection is critical. In automotive settings, they protect lighting circuits, control modules, and auxiliary power supplies in passenger cars, trucks, and recreational vehicles. The LED indicator instantly reveals an open fuse condition, allowing technicians to diagnose issues without removing the fuse from the panel. Beyond automotive use, the fuses are well‑suited for marine vessels, off‑road equipment, and industrial control panels that operate on 12‑24 V DC systems. The 3 A AC adapter current rating ensures the fuse can handle the inrush currents typical of motor‑driven accessories, while the plastic housing resists corrosion in harsh environments. Installation is straightforward: align the blade terminals with the panel contacts and press firmly until the fuse seats securely. The violet LED remains illuminated as long as the circuit is closed, providing continuous monitoring during operation.
