Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility 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)
• Mounting Type: Requires Holder (exact match required)

Parts are grouped into two categories:

Parametric Equivalents (Littelfuse Series 216): 0216005.HXP, 0216005.MXP, and 0216005.VXP maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the main part number, differing only in packaging or internal manufacturing variants. These parts are direct functional replacements.

Direct Manufacturer Equivalent (SCHURTER 0001.1011): Manufactured by SCHURTER Inc., this part meets all critical electrical parameters and physical dimensions. Breaking capacity and melting I²t values differ slightly but remain within acceptable operational ranges for this application class.

Parametric Equivalents (OptiFuse FCC-5A and FCD-5A): These parts satisfy all core substitution criteria. OptiFuse FCC-5A exhibits a lower breaking capacity (200A vs. 1.5kA) and different melting I²t value. OptiFuse FCD-5A includes explicit 250V DC rating and differs in melting I²t specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain Active product status and are RoHS3 compliant. Selection among equivalent parts should be based on the following criteria:

Littelfuse Series 216 variants (0216005.HXP, 0216005.MXP, 0216005.VXP): These parts are direct functional equivalents with identical electrical characteristics and certifications. The primary distinction is inventory availability. 0216005.MXP offers the highest stock level (1468 pcs), followed by 0216005.HXP (1211 pcs) and 0216005.VXP (710 pcs).

SCHURTER 0001.1011: This part is suitable for applications where multi-manufacturer sourcing is required. It carries certifications including CCC, cURus, KC, PSE/JET, and VDE. The melting I²t value (30.8) is slightly elevated compared to the Littelfuse reference (27.46), which may affect response characteristics in marginal fault conditions.

OptiFuse FCC-5A: This part exhibits a significantly lower breaking capacity (200A) compared to the reference specification (1.5kA). Use is restricted to applications where the lower breaking capacity is acceptable for the circuit protection scheme.

OptiFuse FCD-5A: This part includes explicit 250V DC rating and is suitable for applications requiring dual AC/DC voltage protection. The melting I²t value (24.2) is lower than the reference, resulting in faster response to overcurrent conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use 0216005.HXP, 0216005.MXP, or 0216005.VXP interchangeably with 0216005.MXGP?

A: Yes. These Littelfuse Series 216 variants are parametric equivalents with identical current rating (5A), voltage rating (250VAC), response time (fast blow), package dimensions (5mm x 20mm), and electrical characteristics. They are direct functional replacements.

Q: What is the difference between the Littelfuse variants and the SCHURTER 0001.1011?

A: Both meet the core electrical specifications (5A, 250VAC, fast blow, 5mm x 20mm). The SCHURTER part has a slightly higher melting I²t value (30.8 vs. 27.46), which may result in marginally slower response to overcurrent. Certification bodies differ: SCHURTER carries CCC, cURus, KC, PSE/JET, and VDE approvals.

Q: Can I use OptiFuse FCC-5A as a substitute?

A: FCC-5A meets the electrical and dimensional requirements but has a significantly lower breaking capacity (200A vs. 1.5kA). Use only if your circuit protection scheme accommodates this reduced breaking capacity.

Q: What is the advantage of OptiFuse FCD-5A over other substitutes?

A: FCD-5A includes explicit 250V DC rating, making it suitable for applications requiring both AC and DC protection. Its lower melting I²t (24.2) provides faster response to overcurrent compared to the reference part.

Q: Do all substitute parts require the same fuse holder?

A: Yes. All listed parts maintain the 5mm x 20mm form factor and require a compatible 5x20mm fuse holder. Physical installation is identical across all substitutes.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed parts carry RoHS3 compliance certification, meeting environmental and material restriction requirements.

Q: Which substitute part has the highest inventory availability?

A: SCHURTER 0001.1011 has the highest stock level at 3219 pcs, followed by OptiFuse FCD-5A at 4286 pcs. Among Littelfuse variants, 0216005.MXP offers 1468 pcs.
