Littelfuse 0215010.MXF20P Ceramic Fuse - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Littelfuse 0215010.MXF20P is a 10 A, 250 V AC 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 with slow-blow response characteristics. Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to inventory availability, regional certification requirements, or specific approval agency compliance needs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Parametric Equivalents (Littelfuse Series 215): Parts 0215010.MXF11P, 0215010.MXF34P, and 0215010.MXF56P are direct parametric equivalents to 0215010.MXF20P. All four parts share identical electrical specifications (10 A, 250 V AC, slow-blow response), mechanical form factor (radial bend cylinder, 5.20mm x 20.00mm), and thermal operating range (-55°C ~ 125°C). The primary differences are approval agency certifications and inventory availability. These parts are interchangeable for applications requiring the specified electrical and mechanical characteristics.

Direct Manufacturer Equivalent (SCHURTER 0001.2514): This part represents a cross-manufacturer substitute from SCHURTER Inc. It matches the core electrical parameters (10 A, 250 V AC, slow-blow ceramic cartridge) and physical dimensions (5.20mm x 20.00mm). However, it requires a separate fuse holder for mounting, differs in breaking capacity specifications (1kA AC vs. 1.5kA AC), and carries different approval certifications (cURus, VDE only). This part is suitable only for applications where holder-based mounting is acceptable and the reduced AC breaking capacity is compatible with circuit requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Substitution (Littelfuse Series 215 Parts): Parts 0215010.MXF11P, 0215010.MXF34P, and 0215010.MXF56P are suitable direct substitutes for 0215010.MXF20P in applications requiring identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection among these three should be based on regional certification requirements and inventory availability. Part 0215010.MXF11P offers the broadest certification coverage (CE, CSA, KC, PSE, SEMKO, UL, VDE) with highest inventory (6300 pcs). Part 0215010.MXF34P matches the original part's approval agencies (BSI, CE, CSA, KC, METI, SEMKO, UL, VDE). Part 0215010.MXF56P includes CQC and UR certifications with 2268 pcs available.

For Cross-Manufacturer Substitution (SCHURTER 0001.2514): This part is suitable only when holder-based mounting is acceptable and the application does not require the 1.5kA AC breaking capacity of the Littelfuse parts. The SCHURTER part provides 1kA AC breaking capacity and carries cURus and VDE certifications. This option is appropriate for applications with lower fault current requirements or where SCHURTER certification is mandated.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 0215010.MXF11P, 0215010.MXF34P, and 0215010.MXF56P be used interchangeably with 0215010.MXF20P?

A: Yes. These three parts are parametric equivalents with identical current rating (10 A), voltage rating (250 V AC), response time (slow-blow), mechanical form factor (radial bend cylinder, 5.20mm x 20.00mm), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). Selection should be based on regional certification requirements and inventory availability.

Q: What are the key differences between the Littelfuse Series 215 parts and the SCHURTER 0001.2514?

A: The primary differences are: (1) Mounting type—Littelfuse parts feature through-hole radial bend cylinder mounting, while SCHURTER requires a separate fuse holder; (2) Breaking capacity—Littelfuse parts provide 1.5kA AC, SCHURTER provides 1kA AC; (3) Certifications—Littelfuse parts carry broader approval agency coverage (BSI, CE, CSA, KC, METI, SEMKO, UL, VDE variants), while SCHURTER carries cURus and VDE only.

Q: Is the SCHURTER 0001.2514 a direct replacement for the Littelfuse 0215010.MXF20P?

A: The SCHURTER part matches the electrical specifications (10 A, 250 V AC, slow-blow ceramic) and physical dimensions (5.20mm x 20.00mm), but it is not a direct replacement due to different mounting requirements (holder-based vs. through-hole radial bend) and reduced AC breaking capacity (1kA vs. 1.5kA). Use this part only when holder-based mounting is acceptable and the lower breaking capacity is compatible with circuit requirements.

Q: Which substitute part has the highest inventory availability?

A: Part 0215010.MXF11P has the highest inventory with 6300 pcs in stock, followed by 0215010.MXF56P (2268 pcs), 0215010.MXF34P (1588 pcs), and the original 0215010.MXF20P (1998 pcs). The SCHURTER 0001.2514 has the largest inventory at 22984 pcs.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts (0215010.MXF11P, 0215010.MXF34P, 0215010.MXF56P, and 0001.2514) are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the compliance status of the original 0215010.MXF20P.
