Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SCHURTER 0034.5609.22 is valid when the alternative part meets all of the following criteria:

• Current Rating: 160 mA (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating (AC): 250 V (exact match required)
• Fuse Type: Cartridge, Glass (exact match required)
• Response Time: Slow Blow (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 5mm x 20mm (exact match required)
• Breaking Capacity @ Rated Voltage: 35A (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (minimum requirement)
• Mounting Type: Requires Holder (exact match required)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (minimum requirement)

The Littelfuse 0218.160HXP meets all substitution criteria and is therefore classified as an equivalent substitute part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SCHURTER 0034.5609.22 and Littelfuse 0218.160HXP are Active product status components with ROHS3 compliance. The Littelfuse 0218.160HXP provides broader regulatory approval coverage, including CCC, CE, CSA, K-MARK, SEMKO, UL, and VDE certifications, compared to the SCHURTER part which carries cURus and VDE approvals. The melting I²t values are equivalent within engineering tolerance (0.23 vs 0.219). Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring 160 mA, 250 V AC/DC slow-blow glass cartridge fuses in 5mm x 20mm form factor.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Littelfuse 0218.160HXP replace the SCHURTER 0034.5609.22 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (160 mA, 250 V AC/DC), fuse type (cartridge, glass), response time (slow blow), mechanical dimensions (5mm x 20mm), and breaking capacity (35A). Both require a compatible fuse holder and operate across the same temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C).

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The SCHURTER 0034.5609.22 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, while the Littelfuse 0218.160HXP is supplied in Bulk packaging. This affects inventory management and handling but does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are there differences in regulatory approvals?

A: The Littelfuse 0218.160HXP carries additional certifications (CCC, CE, CSA, K-MARK, SEMKO, UL) beyond the SCHURTER part (cURus, VDE). Both include VDE approval. The broader certification set of the Littelfuse part may be advantageous for applications requiring specific regional compliance.

Q: What does "Requires Holder" mean?

A: Both parts are cartridge fuses that must be installed in a compatible fuse holder. The holder provides electrical contact and mechanical retention. Ensure the holder is rated for 5mm x 20mm cartridge fuses.

Q: Are the melting I²t values identical?

A: The values are equivalent within engineering tolerance: SCHURTER 0034.5609.22 is 0.23 and Littelfuse 0218.160HXP is 0.219. This minor difference does not affect substitution suitability.
