Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SCHURTER 0031.1071 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Compatible Parameters:

• Fuse size: 5mm x 20mm cartridge format
• Mounting type: Panel mount configuration
• Number of circuits: Single circuit design
• Fuse holder type: Cartridge holder
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

Variable Parameters (Substitution Allowed):

• Current rating: May differ based on application requirements
• Voltage rating: May differ based on circuit design
• Termination style: Quick connect configurations with different pin sizes are acceptable
• Contact material and finish: May vary
• Series designation: Different series acceptable if core parameters align

The substitute part 3101.0215 maintains compatibility across all critical parameters while offering different electrical ratings suitable for alternative circuit configurations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SCHURTER 3101.0215 serves as an active substitute for the obsolete 0031.1071. Both components are manufactured by SCHURTER Inc. and maintain identical mechanical compatibility for 5mm x 20mm cartridge fuses in single-circuit panel mount configurations.

Selection between these parts depends on circuit requirements:

• 0031.1071: Suitable for applications requiring 6.3 A protection at 500V. Availability is limited due to obsolete status.
• 3101.0215: Recommended for new designs and ongoing maintenance where 16 A protection at 400V meets circuit specifications. This part maintains active production status and full ROHS3 compliance.

Both components feature tin-plated contacts and quick connect termination, ensuring reliable electrical performance. The primary differences—current rating, voltage rating, and termination pin diameter—must be evaluated against specific circuit requirements before selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3101.0215 be used as a direct replacement for the 0031.1071?

A: Mechanical compatibility is confirmed for both parts, as they accommodate identical 5mm x 20mm cartridge fuses and feature panel mount installation. However, electrical compatibility depends on circuit requirements. The 3101.0215 provides 16 A protection at 400V, while the 0031.1071 provides 6.3 A protection at 500V. Verify that your circuit design accommodates these electrical differences before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the different termination pin sizes?

A: The 0031.1071 features 0.110" (2.8mm) quick connect pins, while the 3101.0215 features 0.187" (4.7mm) pins. These differences require compatible mating connectors. Verify that your panel wiring harness or connector assembly accommodates the substitute part's pin configuration.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both the 0031.1071 and 3101.0215 are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and material restriction standards.

Q: Why is the 0031.1071 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates that SCHURTER Inc. has discontinued production of this part. The 3101.0215 represents the active alternative within SCHURTER's current product portfolio for similar applications.

Q: What should I consider when selecting between these parts?

A: Evaluate your circuit's current protection requirements (6.3 A versus 16 A) and voltage rating (500V versus 400V). Confirm that your panel connector assembly is compatible with the termination pin size of your selected part. For new designs, the active 3101.0215 is recommended due to ongoing availability and production support.
