Equivalent & Substitute Parts for 0216010.MXE

Part Overview

The Littelfuse 0216010.MXE is a 10 A, 250 V AC/DC ceramic cartridge fuse with a 5mm x 20mm (axial) form factor and fast-blow response characteristics. This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives that maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for continued system support and procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 0216010.MXE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 10 A (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 250 V AC (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 5mm x 20mm axial form factor (exact match required)
• Fuse Type: Ceramic cartridge (exact match required)
• Response Time: Fast Blow (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Breaking Capacity: 1.5 kA (exact match required)

Two active substitutes meet these criteria: the Littelfuse 0216010.MXEP and the SCHURTER 0001.1014.PT. Both maintain full parametric equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 0216010.MXEP (Littelfuse) is the primary substitute for the obsolete 0216010.MXE. Both components share identical manufacturer lineage, carry equivalent regulatory certifications (CCC, CE, CSA, K-MARK, PSE, SEMKO, UL), and maintain parametric equivalence across all critical specifications. The 0216010.MXEP is ROHS3 compliant, addressing environmental compliance requirements where the original part does not.

The 0001.1014.PT (SCHURTER) is a secondary substitute that meets all electrical and mechanical requirements. This component carries cURus certification and ROHS3 compliance. The melting I²t value of 141 differs from the original specification of 154.339, representing a tighter thermal response characteristic within the fast-blow category. This component is suitable for applications where SCHURTER certification is acceptable and the slightly faster thermal response does not conflict with circuit protection requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0216010.MXEP directly replace the 0216010.MXE?

A: Yes. The 0216010.MXEP maintains full parametric equivalence across current rating, voltage rating, package dimensions, response time, and breaking capacity. The primary difference is product status (active vs. obsolete) and RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the difference between the Littelfuse and SCHURTER substitutes?

A: Both meet the core electrical and mechanical requirements. The Littelfuse 0216010.MXEP carries the same regulatory certifications as the original part. The SCHURTER 0001.1014.PT carries cURus certification and has a melting I²t of 141 compared to 154.34, indicating a marginally faster thermal response within the fast-blow classification.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these substitutes?

A: The 0216010.MXE was supplied in standard packaging, while both substitutes are available in bulk packaging. The physical form factor (5mm x 20mm axial) and mounting type (through hole) remain identical across all three parts.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new designs?

A: The 0216010.MXEP is recommended for direct replacement applications due to manufacturer continuity and identical certification profile. The 0001.1014.PT is suitable where SCHURTER components are preferred or where cURus certification is required.

Q: Are there compliance considerations for substitute selection?

A: The original 0216010.MXE is RoHS non-compliant. Both substitutes are ROHS3 compliant. If RoHS compliance is a system requirement, either substitute is acceptable. If legacy RoHS non-compliant status is required, neither substitute is appropriate.
