Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 0217002.MXEP is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 2 A (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 250 V AC (exact match required)
• Fuse Type: Cartridge, Glass (exact match required)
• Response Time: Fast Blow (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 5mm x 20mm axial form factor (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (minimum requirement)

All substitute parts listed meet these mandatory criteria. Secondary parameters such as breaking capacity, melting I²t, DC cold resistance, and approval agencies may vary within acceptable engineering tolerances but do not disqualify substitution eligibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts are active products with current manufacturing status. Selection among equivalent parts should be based on the following factors:

Littelfuse 0235002.MXEP: Parametric equivalent within the Littelfuse product family. Offers higher breaking capacity (100 A) compared to the primary part. Maintains ROHS3 compliance and active production status with 2,890 units in stock. Approval agencies include CE, CSA, KC, PSE, and UL.

SCHURTER 0034.1519.PT: Direct manufacturer alternative from SCHURTER Inc. Matches breaking capacity (35 A) and melting I²t characteristics closely to the primary part. Holds cURus certification. Physical dimensions vary slightly (5.40mm diameter vs. 5.80mm). 4,057 units in stock.

Bel Fuse 5SFP 2-R: Direct manufacturer alternative with comprehensive approval agency coverage including CCC, CE, CSA, cULus, IMQ, SEMKO, and VDE. Breaking capacity matches primary part at 35 A. 1,998 units in stock.

Bel Fuse 5MFP 2-R: Manufacturer-recommended alternative with the highest breaking capacity (200 A) among all substitutes. Approved by CE, CSA, cULus, and PSE. 2,672 units in stock. Suitable for applications requiring enhanced fault current handling.

Eaton BK/GMA-V-2-R: Manufacturer-recommended alternative from Eaton Electronics Division. Breaking capacity of 100 A. Approved by CSA, PSE, and UL. 755 units in stock. Operating temperature range not specified in available data.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the 0217002.MXEP with any of these parts without circuit redesign?

A: Yes. All listed parts meet the mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters: 2 A current rating, 250 V AC voltage rating, fast-blow response, 5mm x 20mm package, and through-hole mounting. Physical dimensions vary slightly between manufacturers but remain within acceptable tolerances for standard fuse holders.

Q: What is the difference between breaking capacity values, and does it affect substitution?

A: Breaking capacity indicates the maximum fault current the fuse can safely interrupt. The primary part has 35 A breaking capacity, while substitutes range from 35 A to 200 A. Higher breaking capacity provides greater safety margin in high-fault-current applications but does not prevent substitution in standard applications. Selection should match your circuit's maximum available fault current.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are RoHS compliant. The primary part and most substitutes carry ROHS3 certification. The Eaton BK/GMA-V-2-R carries general RoHS compliance.

Q: Which substitute has the best approval agency coverage?

A: The Bel Fuse 5SFP 2-R carries the most comprehensive approvals: CCC, CE, CSA, cULus, IMQ, SEMKO, and VDE. This makes it suitable for applications requiring multiple regional certifications.

Q: Do the slight physical dimension differences matter?

A: Physical dimensions vary minimally across manufacturers (diameter ranges 5.40mm to 5.80mm; length ranges 21.00mm to 22.50mm). Standard fuse holders accommodate these variations. Verify your specific fuse holder specifications if using non-standard mounting.

Q: What is melting I²t, and why does it vary among substitutes?

A: Melting I²t is a thermal characteristic indicating the energy required to melt the fuse element. Variations reflect different fuse element designs and materials. All listed parts maintain fast-blow response characteristics. Selection based on melting I²t should align with your circuit's specific protection requirements.

Q: Which substitute offers the best stock availability?

A: SCHURTER 0034.1519.PT has the highest inventory at 4,057 units. Littelfuse 0235002.MXEP follows with 2,890 units. All parts are currently in stock.
