Littelfuse 0216008.HXP Ceramic Fuse 8A 250VAC 5x20mm - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Littelfuse 0216008.HXP is an 8A 250VAC ceramic cartridge fuse in 5x20mm form factor, classified as Active product status. This fast-blow fuse requires a compatible holder for installation and is designed for general-purpose circuit protection applications. Substitute parts are necessary when the primary part is unavailable, when alternative certifications are required for specific markets, or when inventory constraints necessitate sourcing from alternative manufacturers while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 0216008.HXP are classified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. All substitute parts must meet the following mandatory criteria:

• Current Rating: 8 A (exact match)
• Voltage Rating (AC): 250 V (exact match)
• Package / Case: 5mm x 20mm (exact match)
• Fuse Type: Cartridge, Ceramic (exact match)
• Response Time: Fast Blow (exact match)
• Breaking Capacity @ Rated Voltage: 1.5kA (exact match)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match)
• Mounting Type: Requires Holder (exact match)

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Direct Manufacturer Substitutes: Parts from different manufacturers that share identical electrical and mechanical specifications with the main part.

Parametric Equivalents: Parts that meet all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters but may have minor variations in secondary characteristics such as melting I²t values or DC cold resistance, provided these variations do not affect circuit protection performance at rated conditions.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed are Active product status and ROHS3 compliant. Selection among substitute parts should be based on the following factors:

Certification Requirements: The main part 0216008.HXP carries approvals from CE, CSA, KC, PSE, SEMKO, TUV, and UR. Alternative parts carry different certification bodies:

• SCHURTER 0001.1013: cURus, KC, PSE/JET, VDE
• Bel Fuse 5HF 8-R: CCC, CE, CSA, cURus, PSE, SEMKO
• Eaton BK/S501-8-R: BSI, CSA, cULus, IMQ, SEMKO, VDE
• OptiFuse FCD-8A: IEC 60127
• Conquer VUC UBM 8A 250V (PF): CCC, CSA, PSE, UL, VDE

Select the substitute part whose certification portfolio aligns with the target application's regulatory requirements.

Inventory Availability: Littelfuse 0216008.MXP offers the highest inventory match (2382 pcs) with identical specifications to the main part. Bel Fuse 5HF 8-R provides the largest available inventory (13177 pcs) among all substitutes.

Mechanical Fit: All parts conform to 5x20mm form factor and require compatible holders. The 5HF 8-R has a slightly smaller diameter (0.201" vs. 0.205"), which remains within acceptable mechanical tolerance for standard 5x20mm holders.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use any of these substitute parts interchangeably with the 0216008.HXP?

A: Yes, all listed substitute parts meet the mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters: 8A current rating, 250V AC voltage rating, 5x20mm package, fast-blow response, 1.5kA breaking capacity, and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range. Physical installation in any standard 5x20mm fuse holder is compatible.

Q: What is the difference between the main part 0216008.HXP and the Littelfuse 0216008.MXP?

A: Both parts are manufactured by Littelfuse and share identical electrical specifications and melting I²t values (64.315). The primary difference is packaging designation. The 0216008.MXP has higher inventory availability (2382 pcs vs. 913 pcs).

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

A: Melting I²t is a secondary characteristic that reflects the thermal mass and internal construction of the fuse element. All substitute parts maintain the same 8A current rating and fast-blow response time at rated voltage. Variations in melting I²t (ranging from 64.315 to 126) do not affect circuit protection performance at 250V AC 8A operation, as the fuse will operate within its specified breaking capacity of 1.5kA.

Q: Which substitute part should I choose if my application requires specific certifications?

A: Review the certification requirements of your target market or application standard. The Littelfuse 0216008.MXP maintains the same certification portfolio as the main part (CE, CSA, KC, PSE, SEMKO, TUV, UR). For applications requiring UL certification, the Conquer VUC UBM 8A 250V (PF) carries UL approval. For applications requiring VDE certification, SCHURTER 0001.1013, Eaton BK/S501-8-R, or Conquer VUC UBM 8A 250V (PF) are suitable options.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, all substitute parts listed are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the environmental compliance status of the main part.

Q: Can I mix different substitute parts in the same circuit or equipment?

A: All substitute parts meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the 8A 250VAC 5x20mm application. However, for consistency and simplified inventory management, it is preferable to use the same part number throughout a single equipment design or circuit board.
