Littelfuse 0216005.MXF34P Ceramic Fuse 5A 250VAC 5x20mm - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Littelfuse 0216005.MXF34P is a ceramic cartridge fuse rated at 5A, 250VAC, with a 5x20mm form factor. This fast-blow fuse is designed for circuit protection in AC and DC applications requiring a breaking capacity of 1.5kA. The part is active in production and carries multiple international certifications including BSI, CCC, CE, CSA, KC, PSE, SEMKO, UR, and VDE. Substitute parts are necessary when the primary part number is unavailable or when alternative manufacturers' inventory levels better support supply chain requirements while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 0216005.MXF34P is determined by strict equivalence across 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)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Requires Holder (exact match required)

All substitute parts listed below meet these mandatory criteria. Littelfuse variants (0216005.HXP, 0216005.MXP, 0216005.VXP) are direct equivalents within the same manufacturer's 216 series. Cross-manufacturer substitutes (SCHURTER 0001.1011, OptiFuse FCC-5A, OptiFuse FCD-5A) provide functional equivalence with identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Selection among equivalents should be based on:

Littelfuse 216 Series Variants (0216005.HXP, 0216005.MXP, 0216005.VXP): These parts carry identical certifications to the primary part (BSI, CCC, CE, CSA, KC, PSE, SEMKO, UR, VDE) and are recommended as first-choice substitutes due to manufacturer consistency and certification parity.

SCHURTER 0001.1011: Carries certifications from CCC, cURus, KC, PSE/JET, and VDE. This part provides equivalent electrical performance with higher inventory availability (3219 pcs). Certification coverage differs slightly from the primary part; verify compliance requirements for your specific application region.

OptiFuse FCC-5A: Certified to cULus and UL 248 standards. Breaking capacity specification differs (200A versus 1.5kA). Melting I²t value is lower (22.303 versus 27.46). Use this part only when UL certification is the primary compliance requirement and lower I²t characteristics are acceptable for your circuit design.

OptiFuse FCD-5A: Certified to IEC 60127 standard. Includes explicit 250V DC voltage rating. Melting I²t value is 24.2. This part is suitable for applications requiring dual AC/DC voltage ratings and IEC compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use any of these substitute parts interchangeably with the 0216005.MXF34P?

A: All listed parts meet the mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters (5A, 250VAC, 5x20mm, fast-blow ceramic cartridge). However, verify that the specific certifications required for your application are present. Littelfuse 216 series variants offer the closest certification alignment.

Q: What is the difference between the Littelfuse variants (HXP, MXP, VXP)?

A: These are all part of the Littelfuse 216 series with identical electrical specifications and certifications. The suffix designations represent different internal construction or packaging variants. All are functionally equivalent for circuit protection purposes.

Q: Why do OptiFuse parts have different melting I²t values?

A: Melting I²t reflects the thermal energy required to melt the fuse element and is a characteristic of the specific fuse design. While all parts are rated 5A fast-blow, differences in I²t indicate variations in element composition or geometry. These differences remain within acceptable parameters for 5A circuit protection but may affect response characteristics in edge-case scenarios.

Q: Which substitute should I choose if I need the highest inventory availability?

A: OptiFuse FCD-5A offers the highest inventory level at 4286 pcs, followed by SCHURTER 0001.1011 at 3219 pcs. Both are suitable alternatives if supply chain continuity is the primary concern.

Q: Are all these parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, all listed parts carry ROHS3 Compliant status and are suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance.

Q: What certifications should I prioritize when selecting a substitute?

A: This depends on your target market and regulatory requirements. For global applications, the Littelfuse 216 series variants with BSI, CCC, CE, CSA, KC, PSE, SEMKO, UR, and VDE certifications provide the broadest coverage. For North American markets, OptiFuse FCC-5A with cULus and UL 248 certification is appropriate. For European markets, SCHURTER 0001.1011 with VDE certification is suitable.
