Littelfuse 0216010.H Ceramic Fuse 10A 250VAC 5x20mm Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Littelfuse 0216010.H is a 10A 250VAC ceramic cartridge fuse in 5x20mm form factor, classified as obsolete. This fast-blow fuse requires a holder for installation and is designed for circuit protection in AC and DC applications. Due to its obsolete status, equivalent active alternatives from Littelfuse and cross-manufacturer substitutes are available to maintain design continuity and ensure supply chain reliability.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitutes maintain electrical and mechanical equivalence to the 0216010.H. Selection should prioritize active product status and current compliance certifications.

Littelfuse alternatives (0216010.HXP, 0216010.MXBP, 0216010.MXF11P, 0216010.MXP, 0216010.TXP, 0216010.VXP) are recommended as primary replacements, offering ROHS3 compliance and active manufacturing status with identical electrical specifications. These parts carry expanded approval agencies including KC and VDE certifications.

Cross-manufacturer substitutes provide equivalent functionality:

5HF 10-R (Bel Fuse Inc.) offers ROHS3 compliance with CCC, CE, CSA, cURus, PSE, and SEMKO certifications.
BK/S501-10-R and BK1/S501-10-R (Eaton - Electronics Division) provide RoHS compliance with BSI, CSA, cULus, IMQ, SEMKO, and VDE certifications.
0031.8920 (SCHURTER Inc.) delivers ROHS3 compliance as an alternative source.

All substitutes are physically and electrically interchangeable with the obsolete 0216010.H, requiring only a compatible 5x20mm fuse holder for installation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I directly replace 0216010.H with any of the listed substitutes?

A: Yes. All listed substitutes match the 0216010.H across current rating (10A), voltage rating (250V AC), package form factor (5x20mm), response time (fast blow), and breaking capacity (1.5kA). Physical and electrical interchangeability is confirmed.

Q: What is the primary reason to substitute the 0216010.H?

A: The 0216010.H is classified as obsolete. Active alternatives ensure continued supply chain access and compliance with current RoHS regulations.

Q: Are there differences in DC cold resistance among the substitutes?

A: Minor variations exist. The 0216010.H and Eaton S501 series specify 0.008 Ohms, while Littelfuse active variants and Bel Fuse 5HF 10-R specify 0.0079 to 0.006 Ohms respectively. These differences do not affect functional equivalence for standard circuit protection applications.

Q: Do all substitutes require the same holder type?

A: Yes. All substitutes are cartridge fuses in 5x20mm form factor and require a compatible 5x20mm fuse holder for installation.

Q: Which substitute offers the broadest certification coverage?

A: Littelfuse active variants (0216010.HXP, 0216010.MXBP, 0216010.MXF11P, 0216010.MXP, 0216010.TXP, 0216010.VXP) carry the most comprehensive approval agencies, including CCC, CE, CSA, KC, PSE, SEMKO, UL, and VDE.

Q: Is RoHS compliance a factor in selecting a substitute?

A: The original 0216010.H is RoHS non-compliant. All active substitutes are RoHS3 or RoHS compliant, making them suitable for applications requiring regulatory compliance.
