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

Part Overview

The Littelfuse 0216005.HXP is a ceramic cartridge fuse rated for 5 amperes at 250 volts AC/DC with fast-blow response characteristics. The component is housed in a 5mm x 20mm form factor and requires a dedicated fuse holder for installation. This part maintains Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, response time characteristics, and regulatory approvals to ensure direct functional interchangeability in circuit protection applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 0216005.HXP is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 5 A (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating (AC): 250 V (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 5mm x 20mm (exact match required)
• Fuse Type: Cartridge, Ceramic (exact match required)
• Response Time: Fast Blow (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Requires Holder (exact match required)

All substitute parts listed below meet these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Variations in secondary parameters such as melting I²t, DC cold resistance, and specific regulatory approvals are noted but do not preclude functional equivalence when the primary parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain Active product status and RoHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment with the primary part. Selection among equivalent options should be based on:

Littelfuse 0216005.MXP and 0216005.VXP are direct manufacturer equivalents from the same series (216) with identical electrical and thermal characteristics to the 0216005.HXP, differing only in packaging designation.

SCHURTER 0001.1011 (SP 5x20 series) and Bel Fuse 5HF 5-R provide cross-manufacturer equivalence with matching core ratings and breaking capacity. Both maintain comprehensive regulatory approvals including CCC, VDE, and PSE certifications.

Eaton S501-5-R and BK/S501-5-R (S501 series) are functionally equivalent with identical electrical specifications. The S501-5-R represents the manufacturer-recommended variant.

OptiFuse FCD-5A and FCC-5A are parametric equivalents with matching current, voltage, and package specifications. FCD-5A includes explicit 250V DC rating capability. FCC-5A specifies lower breaking capacity (200A) compared to the 1.5kA standard.

All parts are suitable for direct substitution in 5A 250VAC ceramic fuse holder applications where fast-blow response is required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the 0216005.HXP with any of the listed parts without circuit modification?

A: Yes. All listed parts meet the core substitution criteria: 5A current rating, 250V AC voltage rating, 5mm x 20mm package dimensions, ceramic cartridge type, fast-blow response, and 1.5kA breaking capacity (except FCC-5A at 200A). Direct installation in existing fuse holders is supported.

Q: What is the difference between Littelfuse 0216005.HXP, 0216005.MXP, and 0216005.VXP?

A: These three parts are from the same Littelfuse 216 series and share identical electrical specifications, thermal characteristics, and regulatory approvals. The suffix designations (HXP, MXP, VXP) indicate different packaging or distribution variants. All three are functionally equivalent.

Q: Are there differences in melting I²t values among the substitutes, and does this affect compatibility?

A: Melting I²t values vary across manufacturers (ranging from 22.303 to 39), reflecting differences in thermal design and response characteristics within the fast-blow classification. All parts maintain the same 5A current rating and fast-blow response time. The variation in I²t does not preclude functional equivalence in standard circuit protection applications where the 5A threshold is the primary design parameter.

Q: Does the OptiFuse FCD-5A offer any advantage over other substitutes?

A: FCD-5A explicitly specifies 250V DC rating capability in addition to 250V AC, making it suitable for applications requiring dual AC/DC voltage protection. Other parts specify AC/DC capability without explicit DC voltage rating separation. This distinction may be relevant for specific circuit designs but does not affect standard AC-rated applications.

Q: What regulatory certifications should I verify for my specific application?

A: All listed parts carry RoHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. Specific regulatory approvals vary by manufacturer: Littelfuse parts include BSI, CCC, CE, CSA, KC, PSE, SEMKO, UR, and VDE; SCHURTER includes CCC, cURus, KC, PSE/JET, and VDE; Bel Fuse includes CCC, CE, CSA, cURus, IMQ, PSE, SEMKO, and VDE; Eaton includes BSI, CCC, CSA, cURus, IMQ, MITI/JET, SEMKO, and VDE; OptiFuse includes cULus and UL 248 (FCC-5A) or IEC 60127 (FCD-5A). Confirm that the selected substitute meets your application's specific certification requirements.

Q: Can I use FCC-5A as a substitute if my circuit requires 1.5kA breaking capacity?

A: FCC-5A specifies 200A breaking capacity, which is lower than the 1.5kA standard of other listed parts. If your circuit design explicitly requires 1.5kA breaking capacity, select from parts specifying this rating. For standard applications where 200A breaking capacity is acceptable, FCC-5A is functionally equivalent.
