SCHURTER 0001.1036 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SCHURTER 0001.1036 is a 16A 250VAC fast-blow glass cartridge fuse in the SP 6.3x32 series, designed for applications requiring standard voltage protection with a 1/4" x 1-1/4" form factor. This part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing system support and new designs. Substitute parts must maintain the same current rating, physical dimensions, and response characteristics while potentially offering enhanced voltage ratings or material improvements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SCHURTER 8020.5080 qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Current Rating: 16 A (identical)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.250" Dia x 1.252" L (6.35mm x 31.80mm) (identical)
• Response Time: Fast Blow (identical)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C (identical)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (identical)
• Mounting Type: Requires Holder (identical)

Enhanced Parameters:

• Voltage Rating - AC: 500 V (exceeds 250 V requirement)
• Voltage Rating - DC: 400 V (adds DC capability)
• Fuse Material: Ceramic (versus Glass)
• Breaking Capacity: 1.5kA (exceeds 1kA requirement)
• Melting I²t: 760 (versus 455)
• Product Status: Active (versus Obsolete)
• Approval Agency: cURus certification

The 8020.5080 maintains mechanical and electrical compatibility while providing superior voltage handling and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SCHURTER 8020.5080 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 0001.1036. Selection is based on:

• Dimensional Compatibility: Identical physical form factor (6.35mm x 31.80mm) ensures mechanical fit in existing holders
• Electrical Compatibility: 16A current rating and fast-blow response maintain circuit protection characteristics
• Enhanced Ratings: Higher AC voltage (500V vs 250V) and DC capability (400V) provide superior performance margin in the same package
• Active Product Status: The 8020.5080 is currently manufactured and supported, eliminating obsolescence risk
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance; the substitute adds cURus certification
• Material Upgrade: Ceramic construction in the substitute offers improved thermal and electrical performance compared to glass

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 8020.5080 directly replace the 0001.1036 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical current rating (16A), physical dimensions (6.35mm x 31.80mm), response time (fast-blow), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C). The substitute fits standard 3AB/3AG holders without modification.

Q: What is the difference between glass and ceramic fuse construction?

A: The 0001.1036 uses glass cartridge construction, while the 8020.5080 uses ceramic. Ceramic construction provides higher voltage ratings (500VAC vs 250VAC), improved thermal stability, and higher breaking capacity (1.5kA vs 1kA) in the same physical package.

Q: Does the higher voltage rating of the 8020.5080 affect its use in 250VAC circuits?

A: No. The 8020.5080 is rated for 500VAC, making it fully compatible with 250VAC applications. Higher voltage ratings do not degrade performance at lower voltages when all other parameters (current, response time, temperature) are matched.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with the package designation difference?

A: The physical dimensions are identical (0.250" Dia x 1.252" L). The 0001.1036 specifies 3AB/3AG package designation, while the 8020.5080 is listed as non-standard cartridge. Both fit standard 6.3x32 holders without mechanical issues.

Q: What is the significance of the cURus approval on the 8020.5080?

A: cURus certification indicates compliance with North American safety standards (UL and CSA). This certification enhances the substitute's suitability for regulated applications and provides additional assurance of safety compliance.

Q: Why is the melting I²t value higher for the 8020.5080?

A: The higher melting I²t (760 vs 455) reflects the ceramic material's thermal characteristics and the part's enhanced breaking capacity. This does not affect compatibility; both parts maintain the same 16A current rating and fast-blow response.
