Littelfuse 0215010.MXF34P Ceramic Radial Fuse - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Littelfuse 0215010.MXF34P is a 10 A, 250 V AC ceramic cartridge fuse with radial bend cylinder packaging designed for through-hole mounting applications. This slow-blow fuse provides circuit protection in AC/DC systems with a breaking capacity of 1.5 kA at rated voltage and operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The part maintains active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and international regulatory approvals including UL, CSA, CE, VDE, BSI, KC, METI, and SEMKO certifications.

Equivalent substitute parts are necessary when primary inventory is unavailable, when alternative approval agency certifications are required for specific regional markets, or when design flexibility permits selection from multiple qualified manufacturers within the same electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 0215010.MXF34P is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Current Rating: 10 A (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating (AC): 250 V (exact match required)
• Response Time: Slow Blow (exact match required)
• Breaking Capacity @ Rated Voltage: 1.5 kA (exact match required)
• Melting I²t: 334.665 (exact match required)

Mechanical Equivalence Requirements:

• Fuse Type: Cartridge, Ceramic (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Radial Bend Cylinder (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Size / Dimension: 0.205" Dia x 0.787" L (5.20mm x 20.00mm) (exact match required)

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)
• Product Status: Active (exact match required)

All Littelfuse Series 215 parts listed below meet these strict equivalence criteria. The SCHURTER 0001.2514 represents a direct manufacturer alternative with compatible electrical and mechanical specifications but requires holder mounting rather than radial bend configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Littelfuse Series 215 Parametric Equivalents (0215010.MXF11P, 0215010.MXF20P, 0215010.MXF56P):

These three parts are direct parametric equivalents to the 0215010.MXF34P, sharing identical electrical characteristics, mechanical dimensions, and mounting configuration. Selection among these four Littelfuse variants is based on approval agency certifications required for specific applications or regional markets:

• 0215010.MXF34P: BSI, CE, CSA, KC, METI, SEMKO, UL, VDE
• 0215010.MXF11P: CE, CSA, KC, PSE, SEMKO, UL, VDE
• 0215010.MXF20P: BSI, CE, CSA, KC, METI, SEMKO, UL, VDE
• 0215010.MXF56P: BSI, CQC, KC, PSE, SEMKO, UR, VDE

All four maintain active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and identical electrical performance specifications.

SCHURTER 0001.2514 Direct Manufacturer Alternative:

The SCHURTER 0001.2514 provides an alternative from a different manufacturer with equivalent electrical ratings (10 A, 250 V AC, slow-blow ceramic cartridge) and identical physical dimensions. This part differs in two aspects: it requires a separate fuse holder for mounting rather than direct through-hole radial bend installation, and it specifies 150 V DC rating with a melting I²t of 400 compared to the Littelfuse specification of 334.665. The SCHURTER part holds cURus and VDE certifications and maintains active product status with ROHS3 compliance.

Selection of the SCHURTER alternative is appropriate when holder-based mounting is acceptable in the circuit design and when the higher melting I²t value is compatible with application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute 0215010.MXF11P, 0215010.MXF20P, or 0215010.MXF56P directly for 0215010.MXF34P without circuit modification?

A: Yes. These three Littelfuse parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical ratings (10 A, 250 V AC, slow-blow response), breaking capacity (1.5 kA), melting I²t (334.665), and mechanical dimensions (5.20mm x 20.00mm radial bend cylinder). Direct substitution requires only verification that the required approval agency certifications are present on the selected part for your application's regional market.

Q: What is the difference between the four Littelfuse Series 215 variants?

A: The four Littelfuse parts (0215010.MXF34P, 0215010.MXF11P, 0215010.MXF20P, 0215010.MXF56P) are electrically and mechanically identical. The differences are limited to approval agency certifications. Selection depends on which regulatory bodies must certify the fuse for your specific market or application. All four are active products with identical inventory availability patterns.

Q: Can I use the SCHURTER 0001.2514 as a direct replacement?

A: The SCHURTER 0001.2514 is electrically compatible (10 A, 250 V AC, slow-blow ceramic cartridge) but requires a separate fuse holder for mounting. The Littelfuse radial bend cylinder design allows direct through-hole PCB mounting without additional hardware. If your circuit design accommodates holder-based mounting, the SCHURTER part is suitable. The melting I²t specification (400) is higher than the Littelfuse value (334.665), which may affect circuit protection timing in sensitive applications.

Q: What does "radial bend cylinder" packaging mean?

A: Radial bend cylinder refers to the fuse lead configuration where two leads extend radially from the cylindrical ceramic body at opposite ends, allowing direct insertion into through-hole PCB pads without requiring a separate holder. This differs from the 5mm x 20mm package used by SCHURTER, which requires a dedicated fuse holder socket.

Q: Are all these parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All four Littelfuse variants (0215010.MXF34P, 0215010.MXF11P, 0215010.MXF20P, 0215010.MXF56P) and the SCHURTER 0001.2514 maintain ROHS3 compliance status.

Q: Which part should I select if I need maximum inventory availability?

A: The SCHURTER 0001.2514 has the highest inventory level at 22,984 pieces in stock. Among the Littelfuse variants, the 0215010.MXF11P offers the highest availability at 6,300 pieces.
