Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 0213.250M is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Current Rating: 250 mA (exact match required)
Voltage Rating: 250 V AC (exact match required)
Response Time: Slow Blow (exact match required)
Package / Case: 5mm x 20mm (exact match required)
Fuse Type: Cartridge, Glass (exact match required)
Mounting Type: Requires Holder (exact match required)
Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C (exact match required)
DC Cold Resistance: 1.0495 Ohms (exact match required)

All substitute parts listed maintain these core parameters. Variations in Breaking Capacity, Melting I²t, and approval agency certifications do not preclude substitution where electrical and mechanical specifications align.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Series 213 substitutes (0213.250MXBP, 0213.250MXP, 0213.250TXP) maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the 0213.250M while offering active product status and ROHS3 compliance. These represent direct replacements within the same product line.

Series 218 substitutes (0218.250HXP, 0218.250MX8810P, 0218.250MXBP, 0218.250MXP, 0218.250TXP, 0218.250VXP) provide equivalent electrical performance with active status and ROHS3 compliance. Melting I²t values differ slightly (0.5405 versus 0.555), and approval agency certifications vary. These parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable.

The 0219.250MXABP (Series 219XA) offers higher Breaking Capacity (150A versus 35A) while maintaining all other core electrical and mechanical parameters. This part is suitable for applications requiring enhanced fault current handling.

All substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance and active product status, addressing the obsolescence of the original 0213.250M.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Series 218 fuses replace Series 213 fuses in the 0213.250M application?

A: Yes. Series 218 parts maintain identical current rating (250 mA), voltage rating (250 V AC), response time (Slow Blow), package dimensions (5mm x 20mm), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). Differences in Melting I²t and Breaking Capacity do not affect substitution eligibility where core electrical specifications match.

Q: What is the difference between the 0218.250MXP and 0219.250MXABP?

A: Both parts share identical current rating, voltage rating, response time, package dimensions, and operating temperature range. The 0219.250MXABP provides higher Breaking Capacity (150A versus 35A), making it suitable for circuits with higher fault current requirements. Melting I²t values are comparable (0.54 versus 0.5405).

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance status. The original 0213.250M is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: Does packaging type affect substitution?

A: All substitute parts are supplied in bulk packaging and maintain the same 5mm x 20mm cartridge form factor requiring a holder. Packaging type does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What approval agencies certify these substitute parts?

A: Series 213 substitutes carry certifications from BSI, CCC, CE, CSA, SEMKO, UR, and VDE. Series 218 substitutes carry certifications from CCC, CE, CSA, K-MARK, SEMKO, UL, and VDE. Series 219XA carries certifications from CCC, CE, CSA, SEMKO, UL, and VDE. Specific certifications vary by part number; consult individual datasheets for application-specific requirements.
