Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 0216010.MXP are classified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching:

Direct Manufacturer Equivalents (Littelfuse Series 216): Parts 0216010.HXP and 0216010.VXP are Littelfuse Series 216 variants with identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and response characteristics. These represent direct substitutes within the same manufacturer product line.

Cross-Manufacturer Parametric Equivalents: Parts from SCHURTER (0001.1014), Bel Fuse (5HF 10-R), OptiFuse (FCC-10A, FCD-10A), and Conquer (VUC UBM 10A 250V) are classified as parametric equivalents based on matching:

• Current rating: 10A
• Voltage rating: 250VAC
• Fuse type: Cartridge, Ceramic
• Response time: Fast Blow
• Package dimensions: 5x20mm
• Operating temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Breaking capacity: 1.5kA (with noted exception for FCC-10A at 200A)

Substitution Criteria: All listed substitutes maintain the core electrical protection characteristics and physical form factor required for direct installation in 5x20mm fuse holders. Variations in melting I²t values and DC cold resistance remain within acceptable ranges for circuit protection applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Selection among equivalents should be based on:

Littelfuse Series 216 variants (0216010.HXP, 0216010.VXP): Recommended for applications where manufacturer consistency and identical melting I²t characteristics are required. These parts carry identical regulatory approvals (CCC, CE, CSA, KC, PSE, SEMKO, UL, VDE).

SCHURTER 0001.1014: Suitable for applications accepting lower melting I²t (141 vs. 154.34). Carries cURus, KC, PSE/JET, and VDE certifications.

Bel Fuse 5HF 10-R: Acceptable where higher melting I²t (227) is tolerable. Holds CCC, CE, CSA, cURus, PSE, and SEMKO approvals.

OptiFuse FCC-10A: Carries cULus and UL 248 certifications. Note: Breaking capacity rated at 200A rather than 1.5kA.

OptiFuse FCD-10A: Supports both 250VAC and 250VDC ratings. Certified to cURus and IEC 60127 standards.

Conquer VUC UBM 10A 250V (PF): Holds CCC, CSA, UL, and VDE certifications with melting I²t of 189.18.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute any of these parts directly into my circuit? A: Yes, all listed parts are parametric equivalents or direct manufacturer equivalents with matching 10A, 250VAC ratings, fast-blow response, and 5x20mm form factor. Physical installation in standard 5x20mm fuse holders is identical.

Q: What is the significance of melting I²t differences? A: Melting I²t indicates the thermal energy required to melt the fuse element. Variations among the listed parts (141 to 227) reflect different internal element designs but all maintain the same 10A current rating and fast-blow response. Selection should align with circuit design specifications if I²t is a critical parameter.

Q: Are all these parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes, all listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the difference between 0216010.MXP, 0216010.HXP, and 0216010.VXP? A: These are all Littelfuse Series 216 variants with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The suffix letters (MXP, HXP, VXP) indicate internal packaging or manufacturing variations but do not affect functional performance or interchangeability.

Q: Does FCD-10A offer any advantage over the main part? A: FCD-10A is rated for both 250VAC and 250VDC operation, whereas 0216010.MXP is specified for AC/DC without explicit DC voltage rating separation. If DC circuit protection at 250V is required, FCD-10A provides explicit dual-voltage certification.

Q: Why does FCC-10A have a different breaking capacity (200A vs. 1.5kA)? A: Breaking capacity specifications reflect the maximum fault current the fuse can safely interrupt. FCC-10A's 200A rating remains suitable for standard circuit protection applications; selection should verify compatibility with system fault current levels.

Q: Can I mix different manufacturers in the same circuit board? A: Yes, all listed parts are functionally equivalent for the specified 10A, 250VAC application. However, design documentation should reflect the actual part used for traceability and compliance purposes.
