Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 0216.100VXP are identified based on parametric equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitution logic is based on the following key parameters:

• Current Rating: 100 mA (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating (AC): 250 V (exact match required)
• Fuse Type: Cartridge, Ceramic (exact match required)
• Response Time: Fast Blow (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 5mm x 20mm (exact match required)
• Breaking Capacity @ Rated Voltage: 1.5 kA (exact match required)
• Melting I²t: 0.0045 (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C (exact match required)
• DC Cold Resistance: 5.7925 Ohms (exact match required)

All substitute parts listed below meet these criteria and are therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the main part number.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed—0216.100HXP, 0216.100MXP, and 0216.100TXP—are classified as Active product status and carry identical regulatory approvals (CCC, CE, CSA, SEMKO, UR, VDE). All parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. Selection among these equivalent parts may be based on inventory availability or supply chain considerations, as all parts are functionally identical for the specified application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0216.100HXP, 0216.100MXP, and 0216.100TXP be used interchangeably with the 0216.100VXP?

A: Yes. All substitute parts match the main part across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, including current rating, voltage rating, fuse type, response time, package dimensions, breaking capacity, melting I²t, operating temperature range, and DC cold resistance.

Q: What determines whether a fuse cartridge is a valid substitute?

A: A valid substitute must match the original part in current rating (100 mA), voltage rating (250 V AC), fuse type (Cartridge, Ceramic), response time (Fast Blow), package dimensions (5mm x 20mm), breaking capacity (1.5 kA), melting I²t (0.0045), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and DC cold resistance (5.7925 Ohms).

Q: Are all substitute parts compatible with the same fuse holder?

A: Yes. All substitute parts use the 5mm x 20mm package format and require a holder, ensuring mechanical compatibility with applications designed for the 0216.100VXP.

Q: Do the substitute parts carry the same regulatory certifications?

A: Yes. All substitute parts carry identical approvals: CCC, CE, CSA, SEMKO, UR, and VDE. All are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected.

Q: What is the difference between the part number variants (VXP, HXP, MXP, TXP)?

A: The suffix designations (VXP, HXP, MXP, TXP) represent different manufacturing or packaging variants within the Littelfuse 216 series. All variants specified here are electrically and mechanically equivalent for the 100 mA, 250 V AC/DC application.
