Littelfuse 0215008.MXF20P Ceramic Fuse - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Littelfuse 0215008.MXF20P is an 8A 250VAC ceramic cartridge fuse with radial bend cylinder packaging for through-hole mounting applications. This Active product is designed for circuit protection in AC/DC systems operating across -55°C to 125°C. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, response characteristics, and regulatory compliance to ensure direct functional interchangeability in protected circuit designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 8 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)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.205" Dia x 0.787" L / 5.20mm x 20.00mm (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole or Requires Holder (mechanical compatibility)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (minimum requirement)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory requirement)

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria. The 0215008.MXF11P and 0215008.MXF103SPP are parametric equivalents from Littelfuse within the same 215 series family. The 0001.2513 from SCHURTER Inc. is a direct manufacturer alternative with identical electrical and dimensional specifications but requires a separate fuse holder for installation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Selection between Littelfuse variants (0215008.MXF11P and 0215008.MXF103SPP) depends on series availability and inventory requirements; both carry identical electrical specifications and full regulatory certifications (CE, CSA, KC, PSE, SEMKO, UL, VDE).

The SCHURTER 0001.2513 provides an alternative from a different manufacturer with equivalent electrical performance. This part requires a separate fuse holder for installation, unlike the radial bend cylinder design of Littelfuse options. The SCHURTER part specifies 150V DC rating and carries cURus and VDE certifications. The higher melting I²t value (268 vs. 209.88) indicates slightly different thermal response characteristics within the slow-blow category.

For applications requiring direct mechanical compatibility without holder modification, Littelfuse 0215008.MXF11P or 0215008.MXF103SPP are preferred. For applications where holder-based installation is acceptable, the SCHURTER 0001.2513 offers an alternative source with extended DC voltage specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 0215008.MXF11P directly replace 0215008.MXF20P?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (8A, 250VAC), fuse type (ceramic cartridge), response time (slow blow), physical dimensions (5.20mm x 20.00mm radial bend cylinder), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). Both are Active products with ROHS3 compliance and full regulatory certifications.

Q: What is the difference between 0215008.MXF103SPP and 0215008.MXF20P?

A: Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical. The primary difference is series designation (215SP vs. 215) and inventory availability. The 0215008.MXF103SPP belongs to the 215SP series variant within Littelfuse's product line.

Q: Can SCHURTER 0001.2513 replace the Littelfuse part in all applications?

A: Electrical substitution is valid for AC applications at 250V, 8A with slow-blow response. However, the SCHURTER part requires a separate fuse holder for installation, whereas Littelfuse radial bend cylinder designs mount directly through holes. Installation method must be verified against circuit board design. The SCHURTER part additionally specifies 150V DC rating, providing extended DC voltage capability.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All four parts (0215008.MXF20P, 0215008.MXF11P, 0215008.MXF103SPP, and 0001.2513) are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What regulatory certifications apply to each part?

A: Littelfuse parts (0215008.MXF20P and 0215008.MXF11P) carry CE, CSA, KC, PSE, SEMKO, UL, and VDE certifications. The SCHURTER 0001.2513 carries cURus and VDE certifications. Application requirements determine which certification set is necessary.

Q: Why does SCHURTER 0001.2513 have a different melting I²t value?

A: The melting I²t (268 vs. 209.88) reflects thermal response characteristics within the slow-blow fuse category. Both parts meet the 8A, 250VAC specification and slow-blow response requirement. The difference indicates slightly different thermal mass or element design between manufacturers, both acceptable for the specified application parameters.
