Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Littelfuse 0215005.MXESPP is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 5 A (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating (AC): 250 V (exact match required)
• Fuse Type: Cartridge, Ceramic (exact match required)
• Response Time: Slow Blow (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 5mm x 20mm (Axial) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Breaking Capacity @ Rated Voltage: 1.5 kA (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)

The Bel Fuse Inc. part number 0659P5000-13 meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a parametric equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Littelfuse 0215005.MXESPP and Bel Fuse 0659P5000-13 are Active product status components with full RoHS3 compliance. Selection between these parts is based on availability, supply chain considerations, and certification requirements specific to the application.

The Littelfuse part carries approvals from CE, CQC, CSA, KC, PSE, UR, and VDE. The Bel Fuse part carries approvals from CQC, cURus, PSE, and VDE. Applications requiring specific regional certifications should verify that the selected part meets all mandatory approval requirements for the target market.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Bel Fuse 0659P5000-13 be used as a direct replacement for the Littelfuse 0215005.MXESPP?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical current rating (5A), voltage rating (250VAC), fuse type (ceramic cartridge), response time (slow blow), package dimensions (5mm x 20mm), and breaking capacity (1.5kA). Through-hole mounting compatibility is confirmed.

Q: Are there differences in melting I²t values between these parts?

A: The Littelfuse part specifies 66.095 and the Bel Fuse part specifies 92.5. Both parts meet the 5A slow-blow specification and 1.5kA breaking capacity requirement. Application-specific thermal characteristics should be evaluated if precise I²t matching is required.

Q: What is the difference in DC cold resistance between these parts?

A: The Littelfuse part specifies 0.0153 Ohms and the Bel Fuse part specifies 0.013 Ohms. Both values are within typical ceramic fuse specifications for this current rating and do not affect functional interchangeability in standard circuit protection applications.

Q: Do both parts have the same approval certifications?

A: No. The Littelfuse part includes CE, CQC, CSA, KC, PSE, UR, and VDE approvals. The Bel Fuse part includes CQC, cURus, PSE, and VDE approvals. Applications requiring specific regional certifications must verify that the selected part meets all mandatory approval requirements.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting environmental compliance requirements for EU and global markets.
