Littelfuse 0216005.H Ceramic Fuse 5A 250VAC 5x20mm Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Littelfuse 0216005.H is a 5A 250VAC ceramic cartridge fuse in 5x20mm form factor, Series 216, designed for fast-blow protection in AC/DC circuits. This part carries an obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain circuit protection functionality in applications where the original part is no longer available or when design flexibility is required for procurement optimization.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 0216005.H is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: current rating (5A), voltage rating (250VAC), fuse type (cartridge ceramic), response time (fast blow), physical package (5x20mm), breaking capacity (1.5kA), and mounting requirement (holder-based). All substitute parts listed maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications.

Littelfuse Series 216 variants (0216005.HXP, 0216005.MXBP, 0216005.MXF34P, 0216005.MXGP, 0216005.MXP, 0216005.TXP, 0216005.VXP) are parametric equivalents with active product status and RoHS3 compliance. Cross-manufacturer alternatives from Bel Fuse Inc. (5HF 5-R) and Eaton Electronics Division (BK/GDA-5A, BK/S501-5-R) meet identical electrical and mechanical requirements while maintaining equivalent approval agency certifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For new designs and procurement, Littelfuse Series 216 active variants (0216005.MXP, 0216005.HXP, 0216005.MXBP, 0216005.MXF34P, 0216005.MXGP, 0216005.TXP, 0216005.VXP) are preferred substitutes. These parts maintain identical electrical specifications while offering active product status and RoHS3 compliance, eliminating obsolescence risk. All Littelfuse variants carry comprehensive approval agency certifications including BSI, CCC, CE, CSA, KC, PSE, SEMKO, UR, and VDE.

Cross-manufacturer alternatives from Bel Fuse Inc. (5HF 5-R) and Eaton Electronics Division (BK/GDA-5A, BK/S501-5-R) are electrically and mechanically equivalent. Bel Fuse 5HF 5-R carries certifications from CCC, CE, CSA, cURus, IMQ, PSE, SEMKO, and VDE. Eaton BK/GDA-5A holds certifications from CCC, CSA, IMQ, SEMKO, and UL. Eaton BK/S501-5-R is certified by BSI, CCC, CSA, cULus, IMQ, MITI/JET, SEMKO, and VDE. Selection among these alternatives depends on specific application certification requirements and supply chain availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 0216005.H be directly replaced with any Littelfuse Series 216 variant?

A: Yes. All Littelfuse Series 216 variants listed (0216005.HXP, 0216005.MXBP, 0216005.MXF34P, 0216005.MXGP, 0216005.MXP, 0216005.TXP, 0216005.VXP) are parametric equivalents with identical current rating, voltage rating, response time, package dimensions, and breaking capacity. The primary difference is product status (active vs. obsolete) and RoHS compliance level.

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

A: Littelfuse variants maintain identical melting I²t values (27.46) and the complete approval agency certification set. Cross-manufacturer alternatives (Bel Fuse 5HF 5-R, Eaton BK/GDA-5A, Eaton BK/S501-5-R) meet the same electrical and mechanical specifications but have different melting I²t values (39 for Bel Fuse, 25 for Eaton) and varying certification portfolios. Selection depends on application-specific certification requirements.

Q: Are there any physical dimension differences between substitutes?

A: Bel Fuse 5HF 5-R has a slightly smaller diameter (0.201" vs. 0.205") but maintains the same 5x20mm functional package specification. All other substitutes maintain identical 5x20mm dimensions. Fuse holder compatibility should be confirmed for the Bel Fuse variant due to the minor diameter difference.

Q: What is the significance of melting I²t values in substitution?

A: Melting I²t indicates the thermal energy required to melt the fuse element. The original 0216005.H has a melting I²t of 27.46. Littelfuse variants maintain this value. Bel Fuse 5HF 5-R (39) and Eaton alternatives (25) have different values, which may affect nuisance trip characteristics in specific circuit conditions. Application thermal analysis should confirm acceptability of alternative I²t values.

Q: Is RoHS compliance a critical factor for substitution?

A: The original 0216005.H is RoHS non-compliant. All active substitutes are RoHS3 compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, RoHS3-compliant variants are mandatory. For legacy systems without RoHS requirements, non-compliance is not a functional barrier.
