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

Part Overview

The Littelfuse 0216008.TXP 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. Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary when the primary part is unavailable, when alternative sourcing improves lead times or cost efficiency, or when design flexibility permits selection from multiple qualified manufacturers meeting identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Littelfuse 0216008.TXP is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 8 A (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating (AC): 250 V (exact match required)
• Fuse Type: Cartridge, Ceramic (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 5mm x 20mm (exact match required)
• Response Time: Fast Blow (exact match required)
• Breaking Capacity @ Rated Voltage: 1.5kA (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Requires Holder (exact match required)

All substitute parts listed below meet these criteria. Variations in secondary parameters such as melting I²t, DC cold resistance, and specific approval agencies do not disqualify substitution when primary electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed are Active product status, indicating current manufacturing and availability. Selection among equivalent parts may be based on:

• Regulatory Compliance: All parts maintain ROHS3 compliance (or RoHS Compliant for BK1/S501-8-R). Verify specific approval agencies required for your application region: Littelfuse and Conquer parts carry CE, CSA, and PSE certifications; SCHURTER includes cURus and VDE; Bel Fuse includes CCC and cURus; Eaton includes BSI, cULus, and IMQ.

• Inventory Availability: Bel Fuse 5HF 8-R offers the highest stock level (13,177 pcs), followed by SCHURTER 0001.1013 (4,319 pcs) and OptiFuse FCD-8A (5,147 pcs). Littelfuse 0216008.MXP provides 2,382 pcs.

• Product Continuity: Littelfuse 0216008.MXP is the direct parametric equivalent from the same manufacturer, ensuring design continuity when substitution is required within the Littelfuse product line.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute any of these parts for the Littelfuse 0216008.TXP?

A: Yes. All listed parts meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications: 8A current rating, 250V AC voltage rating, fast-blow response, 1.5kA breaking capacity, and 5x20mm form factor. Physical installation in any compatible 5x20mm fuse holder is interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference between the Littelfuse 0216008.TXP and 0216008.MXP?

A: Both are Littelfuse ceramic cartridge fuses with identical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary difference is packaging designation (TXP vs. MXP). The 0216008.MXP has higher current inventory availability (2,382 pcs vs. 816 pcs).

Q: Do all substitute parts have the same melting I²t value?

A: No. Melting I²t values vary among manufacturers: Littelfuse 64.315, SCHURTER 81.9, Bel Fuse 126, OptiFuse 102.2, and Conquer 91.5381. These variations do not affect substitution eligibility, as all parts meet the 1.5kA breaking capacity requirement at 250V.

Q: Are there any temperature rating differences I should consider?

A: Littelfuse, SCHURTER, OptiFuse, and Conquer parts specify -55°C ~ 125°C operating temperature. Eaton S501 series parts do not specify operating temperature in the provided data. Verify Eaton temperature specifications against your application requirements if operating outside standard industrial ranges.

Q: Which parts carry the broadest international certifications?

A: Bel Fuse 5HF 8-R includes CCC, CE, CSA, cURus, PSE, and SEMKO certifications. Eaton S501 series includes BSI, CSA, cULus, IMQ, SEMKO, and VDE. Littelfuse includes CE, CSA, KC, PSE, SEMKO, TUV, and UR. Select based on your target market regulatory requirements.
