Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 0216.063VXP are determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitution logic is based on the following criteria:

• Current Rating: 63 mA (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 250 V AC (exact match required)
• Fuse Type: Cartridge, Ceramic (exact match required)
• Response Time: Fast Blow (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 5mm x 20mm (exact match required)
• Breaking Capacity: 1.5 kA (exact match required)
• Melting I²t: 0.00054 (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature: -55°C to 125°C (exact match required)
• DC Cold Resistance: 10.45 Ohms (exact match required)

All identified substitute parts maintain identical values across these parameters, confirming functional and mechanical interchangeability within the 216 series.

Parameter Comparison

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 0216.063HXP and 0216.063MXP be used interchangeably with 0216.063VXP?

A: Yes. All three part numbers are parametric equivalents with identical electrical ratings (63 mA, 250 V AC), response characteristics (fast blow), physical dimensions (5mm x 20mm), and thermal specifications. They are mechanically and functionally interchangeable.

Q: What determines if a fuse can substitute for the 0216.063VXP?

A: Substitution requires exact matching of current rating, voltage rating, fuse type (ceramic cartridge), response time (fast blow), physical package dimensions, breaking capacity, and operating temperature range. Any deviation in these parameters disqualifies a part from substitution.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The 0216.063VXP and all identified substitutes (0216.063HXP, 0216.063MXP) are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical international safety certifications (CCC, CE, CSA, SEMKO, UR, VDE).

Q: Does the mounting type affect substitution?

A: No. All equivalent parts require a holder for installation. The mounting requirement is identical across all substitute parts, confirming compatibility with existing holder assemblies.

Q: What is the significance of the 5mm x 20mm package specification?

A: This dimension specification defines the physical form factor required for insertion into standard fuse holders. All substitute parts maintain this exact dimension, ensuring mechanical fit and proper electrical contact within existing circuit protection assemblies.
