Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SCHURTER 0031.8360 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Current Rating: 200 mA
• Voltage Rating (AC): 250 V
• Breaking Capacity @ Rated Voltage: 35A
• Fuse Type: Cartridge, Glass
• Response Time: Fast Blow

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Package / Case: 5mm x 20mm w/Holder
• Mounting Type: Requires Holder, Surface Mount

Compliance & Environmental (Must Match):

• Approval Agencies: cURus, VDE
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C

The substitute parts 0031.8310, 0031.8506, and 0031.8556 meet all mandatory electrical and mechanical requirements. Variation in Melting I²t values (0.256 vs. 1.73) reflects different thermal response characteristics within the Fast Blow classification but does not disqualify substitution when circuit protection requirements are met by the specified current and voltage ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts (0031.8310, 0031.8506, 0031.8556) maintain Active product status and carry identical compliance certifications (cURus, VDE) with ROHS3 compliance. Selection among these equivalents is determined by availability and inventory levels. The 0031.8310 and 0031.8360 share identical Melting I²t values (0.256), while 0031.8506 and 0031.8556 feature higher Melting I²t values (1.73). All variants satisfy the specified electrical protection requirements and mechanical form factor constraints for surface mount applications requiring a holder.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 0031.8310, 0031.8506, and 0031.8556 be used interchangeably with 0031.8360?

A: Yes. All three substitute parts meet the mandatory electrical parameters (200mA, 250VAC, 35A breaking capacity), mechanical dimensions (5mm x 20mm w/Holder), and compliance certifications (cURus, VDE, ROHS3). They are functionally equivalent for circuit protection applications.

Q: What is the difference between the Melting I²t values?

A: Melting I²t is a thermal characteristic that influences the fuse's response to overcurrent conditions. The 0031.8360 and 0031.8310 have Melting I²t of 0.256, while 0031.8506 and 0031.8556 have Melting I²t of 1.73. Both values are within the Fast Blow classification and do not affect substitution eligibility when the specified current and voltage ratings meet circuit requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. All parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes.

Q: Do all substitute parts operate within the same temperature range?

A: Yes. All parts are rated for -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range.

Q: What approval agencies certify these fuses?

A: All parts carry cURus and VDE approvals, meeting international safety and regulatory standards for fuse cartridges.
