Littelfuse 0216002.MXGP Ceramic Fuse 2A 250VAC 5x20mm - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Littelfuse 0216002.MXGP is a 2A 250VAC ceramic cartridge fuse in 5x20mm form factor, classified as a fast-blow fuse requiring a holder for installation. This component is Active status and widely used in power distribution and circuit protection applications. Substitute parts are necessary when the primary part number is unavailable, when alternative sourcing improves lead times or cost efficiency, or when design flexibility permits equivalent alternatives meeting identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: current rating (2A), voltage rating (250VAC), fuse type (ceramic cartridge), response time (fast blow), physical package (5x20mm), breaking capacity (1.5kA), and mounting requirement (holder-based installation). All listed substitutes maintain identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility with the main part number 0216002.MXGP.

Littelfuse internal variants (0216002.HXP, 0216002.MXP, 0216002.TXP, 0216002.VXP) represent parametric equivalents within the same manufacturer's product line, differing only in packaging or internal construction while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility. Cross-manufacturer substitutes from Eaton Electronics Division (S501 and GDA series) and SCHURTER (SP 5x20 series) meet all critical electrical parameters and physical dimensions, enabling direct replacement in circuit protection applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain Active product status and meet or exceed the compliance certifications of the primary part number 0216002.MXGP. Littelfuse internal variants (0216002.HXP, 0216002.MXP, 0216002.TXP, 0216002.VXP) carry identical certification profiles including CCC, CE, CSA, KC, PSE, SEMKO, UL, and VDE approvals, ensuring seamless integration into existing designs.

Cross-manufacturer alternatives from Eaton Electronics Division (S501 and GDA series) and SCHURTER (0001.1007) provide equivalent electrical performance with comparable certification coverage. Eaton S501 series parts carry the broadest certification scope including BSI, CCC, CSA, cULus, IMQ, MITI/JET, SEMKO, and VDE. SCHURTER 0001.1007 maintains CCC, cURus, KC, PSE/JET, and VDE certifications. Selection among these alternatives depends on supply chain availability, inventory levels, and organizational qualification requirements for cross-manufacturer substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute 0216002.MXGP with any of the Littelfuse internal variants (0216002.HXP, 0216002.MXP, 0216002.TXP, 0216002.VXP)?

A: Yes. All Littelfuse internal variants are parametric equivalents with identical electrical ratings (2A, 250VAC), fuse type (ceramic cartridge), response time (fast blow), physical dimensions (5x20mm), and breaking capacity (1.5kA). They differ only in packaging or internal construction and carry the same compliance certifications.

Q: Are Eaton S501 and GDA series fuses direct replacements for the Littelfuse 0216002.MXGP?

A: Yes. Eaton S501-2-R, BK/S501-2-R, BK1/S501-2-R, GDA-2A, and BK/GDA-2A all meet the critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 2A current rating, 250VAC voltage rating, ceramic cartridge type, fast-blow response, 5x20mm package, and 1.5kA breaking capacity. These parts are manufacturer-recommended substitutes and carry appropriate certifications for direct replacement.

Q: What is the difference between the Littelfuse variants and cross-manufacturer substitutes?

A: Littelfuse variants maintain identical melting I²t values (1.87) and DC cold resistance (0.0764 Ohms). Cross-manufacturer substitutes from Eaton and SCHURTER have slightly higher melting I²t values (2.0) and may have different DC cold resistance specifications (0.073 Ohms for Eaton). These minor differences remain within acceptable tolerance for circuit protection applications and do not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Does the 5x20mm physical dimension apply to all substitute parts?

A: Yes. All listed substitutes conform to the 5x20mm cartridge fuse standard (0.205" diameter x 0.787" length), ensuring mechanical compatibility with standard fuse holders. No mechanical modification or adapter is required for installation.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitutes carry ROHS3 Compliant status, meeting environmental and hazardous substance restrictions equivalent to the primary part number 0216002.MXGP.

Q: Which substitute has the highest inventory availability?

A: Littelfuse 0216002.MXP offers the highest inventory level at 79,252 pieces in stock, followed by Littelfuse 0216002.HXP at 1,756 pieces. Eaton S501 and GDA series parts maintain inventory levels between 878 and 2,670 pieces.
