Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 0215005.MXF162SPP is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Primary Equivalence Criteria:

• 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)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Size / Dimension: 5.20mm x 20.00mm (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Breaking Capacity @ Rated Voltage: 1.5kA
• DC Cold Resistance: 0.0153 Ohms
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria. The 0215005.MXF160SPP and 0215005.MXF34P are parametric equivalents from Littelfuse Inc. The 0001.2511 from SCHURTER Inc. is a direct manufacturer alternative meeting all primary equivalence criteria, with the distinction of supporting both 250V AC and 150V DC operation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

0215005.MXF160SPP (Littelfuse Inc.): This parametric equivalent maintains identical electrical specifications and mechanical dimensions to the main part. Both are Littelfuse 215SP series components with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Selection is appropriate for direct substitution in applications requiring 5A 250VAC ceramic cartridge fuses with radial bend cylinder configuration.

0215005.MXF34P (Littelfuse): This substitute part meets all primary equivalence criteria with identical current, voltage, and response characteristics. The part operates within the same temperature range and maintains ROHS3 compliance. The expanded approval agency list (CCC, CE, CSA, KC, PSE, SEMKO, UL, VDE) provides additional regulatory coverage compared to the main part.

0001.2511 (SCHURTER Inc.): This direct manufacturer alternative meets all primary equivalence criteria for AC operation at 250V, 5A with slow-blow response. The part includes DC voltage rating of 150V, extending application flexibility for dual-voltage circuits. The mounting type designation "Requires Holder" indicates compatibility with standard 5mm x 20mm fuse holders. The higher melting I²t value (97.5 versus 66.095) reflects thermal characteristics specific to SCHURTER's design. Regulatory approvals include CCC, cURus, KC, PSE/JET, and VDE.

All substitute parts maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance, supporting long-term supply chain reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 0215005.MXF160SPP be used as a direct replacement for 0215005.MXF162SPP?

A: Yes. Both parts are Littelfuse 215SP series ceramic cartridge fuses with identical electrical ratings (5A, 250VAC), response time (slow blow), mounting type (through hole), and physical dimensions (5.20mm x 20.00mm). Parametric equivalence is complete.

Q: What is the difference between the Littelfuse and SCHURTER alternatives?

A: The Littelfuse parts (0215005.MXF160SPP and 0215005.MXF34P) are direct parametric equivalents with matching melting I²t values. The SCHURTER 0001.2511 provides equivalent AC performance at 250V, 5A but includes DC voltage rating (150V) and a higher melting I²t (97.5). The SCHURTER part requires a fuse holder for mounting, whereas Littelfuse radial bend cylinder designs integrate mounting leads.

Q: Does the 0001.2511 require a different mounting configuration?

A: Yes. The 0001.2511 is designated "Requires Holder" and uses standard 5mm x 20mm fuse holder mounting. The Littelfuse radial bend cylinder parts feature integrated radial leads for direct through-hole PCB mounting. Verify holder compatibility before substitution.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All identified substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance status, supporting environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What regulatory approvals apply to each part?

A: The main part (0215005.MXF162SPP) carries CE, CQC, CSA, KC, PSE, UR, and VDE approvals. The 0215005.MXF34P extends coverage with CCC, CE, CSA, KC, PSE, SEMKO, UL, and VDE. The 0001.2511 includes CCC, cURus, KC, PSE/JET, and VDE. Verify specific regulatory requirements for your application before selection.

Q: Can these fuses be used in DC circuits?

A: The main part and Littelfuse substitutes are rated for 250VAC operation. The SCHURTER 0001.2511 explicitly supports 150VDC operation in addition to 250VAC, making it suitable for dual-voltage applications. Confirm voltage requirements before substitution.
