Littelfuse 0216.200H Ceramic Fuse 200mA 250VAC 5x20mm Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Littelfuse 0216.200H is a ceramic cartridge fuse rated at 200mA, 250VAC, with fast-blow response characteristics and a 5mm x 20mm form factor. This part is classified as obsolete, requiring identification of active equivalent alternatives for new designs and ongoing maintenance applications. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and mounting requirements to ensure direct functional replacement without circuit redesign.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: current rating (200mA), voltage rating (250VAC), fuse type (ceramic cartridge), response time (fast blow), physical dimensions (5mm x 20mm), breaking capacity (1.5kA), and mounting configuration (requires holder). All identified substitutes maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Littelfuse parametric equivalents (0216.200HXP, 0216.200MXP, 0216.200TXP, 0216.200VXP) are active-status alternatives within the same manufacturer series. Eaton-manufactured substitutes (BK/GDA-200MA, BK/S501-200-R, BK1/S501-200-R, GDA-200MA, S501-200-R) provide cross-manufacturer equivalence with identical functional parameters.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For new designs and production applications, Littelfuse parametric equivalents 0216.200HXP, 0216.200MXP, 0216.200TXP, and 0216.200VXP are preferred substitutes. All four variants are active-status products with ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment with current environmental standards. These parts maintain identical electrical specifications and mechanical form factors as the obsolete 0216.200H.

Eaton-manufactured alternatives (S501-200-R, BK/S501-200-R, BK1/S501-200-R, GDA-200MA, BK/GDA-200MA) provide cross-manufacturer equivalence with full functional compatibility. S501-200-R and BK/S501-200-R carry the broadest approval agency certifications (BSI, CCC, CSA, cULus, IMQ, SEMKO, VDE), supporting applications requiring multi-regional compliance. GDA-200MA and BK/GDA-200MA variants are suitable for applications with less stringent certification requirements.

All substitute parts maintain the 1.5kA breaking capacity and fast-blow response characteristic of the original part. Selection between Littelfuse and Eaton alternatives should be based on existing supply chain relationships, inventory availability, and specific regulatory certifications required by the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use any of these substitute parts as a direct replacement for the 0216.200H?

A: Yes. All listed substitutes maintain identical current rating (200mA), voltage rating (250VAC), response time (fast blow), physical dimensions (5mm x 20mm), and breaking capacity (1.5kA). Direct mechanical and electrical compatibility is confirmed across all alternatives.

Q: What is the difference between Littelfuse parametric equivalents (0216.200HXP, 0216.200MXP, 0216.200TXP, 0216.200VXP)?

A: All four Littelfuse variants are functionally identical in electrical and mechanical specifications. Differences exist only in packaging configuration and internal manufacturing process designations. Selection among these variants should be based on inventory availability and existing procurement practices.

Q: Are there compliance differences between Littelfuse and Eaton substitutes?

A: Yes. Littelfuse parametric equivalents carry certifications including CCC, CE, CSA, SEMKO, UR, and VDE. Eaton S501 series parts (S501-200-R, BK/S501-200-R, BK1/S501-200-R) include additional certifications: BSI, cULus, and IMQ. Eaton GDA series parts (GDA-200MA, BK/GDA-200MA) carry CCC, CSA, IMQ, SEMKO, and UR certifications. Verify specific certifications required by your application before selection.

Q: What is the significance of the "BK" and "BK1" prefixes on Eaton part numbers?

A: These prefixes indicate packaging and distribution channel designations within Eaton's product line. BK/S501-200-R and BK1/S501-200-R are functionally equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection should be based on availability and existing supply agreements.

Q: Does the operating temperature range differ between substitutes?

A: Littelfuse parts specify -55°C ~ 125°C operating temperature range. Eaton parts do not provide explicit operating temperature specifications in the available data. For applications requiring confirmed temperature performance across the full range, Littelfuse parametric equivalents are recommended.

Q: What is the difference in DC cold resistance between Littelfuse and Eaton parts?

A: Littelfuse 0216.200H and parametric equivalents specify 3.35 Ohms DC cold resistance. Eaton substitutes (all variants) specify 6 Ohms DC cold resistance. This difference does not affect fuse operation but may be relevant for circuit analysis in applications with very low-impedance paths.

Q: Can I mix Littelfuse and Eaton fuses in the same circuit or equipment?

A: Yes. All substitutes maintain identical electrical ratings and breaking capacity. Mixed usage is electrically compatible. However, for consistency in maintenance and spare parts inventory management, standardizing on a single manufacturer source is recommended.
