Littelfuse 0217010.MXP Glass Cartridge Fuse 10A 250VAC 5x20mm Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Littelfuse 0217010.MXP is a fast-blow glass cartridge fuse rated for 10 A at 250 V AC/DC with a 5mm x 20mm form factor. This component is designed for circuits requiring overcurrent protection in industrial, commercial, and consumer applications. The fuse operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and meets multiple international safety certifications including CE, K-MARK, PSE, and VDE standards. As an active product with 17,281 units in stock, the 0217010.MXP remains readily available. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified for applications where alternative manufacturers' components or packaging variants are preferred, or where inventory constraints necessitate sourcing from alternative suppliers.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 0217010.MXP is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: current rating (10 A), voltage rating (250 V AC), fuse type (cartridge glass), response time (fast blow), and physical package dimensions (5mm x 20mm). All identified substitute parts match these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Substitutes are grouped into three categories based on manufacturer and product relationship:

Parametric Equivalents (Same Manufacturer): Parts 0217010.MXBP and FSD-10A share identical electrical ratings and physical dimensions with the main part.

Direct Manufacturer Equivalents (Alternative Manufacturers): Parts 0034.1526 (SCHURTER), BK/S500-10-R (Eaton), and S500-10-R (Eaton) are functionally equivalent components from established fuse manufacturers meeting the same electrical and mechanical requirements.

Parametric Equivalents (Cross-Manufacturer): Part FSD-10A from OptiFuse meets all core electrical and dimensional specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitute parts are active products with current manufacturing status and full RoHS3 compliance. Selection among equivalents should be based on the following factors:

Littelfuse 0217010.MXBP: Direct variant from the original manufacturer with identical electrical specifications and temperature range. Approval agencies include CE, KC, PSE, and VDE. Suitable for direct replacement where Littelfuse sourcing is preferred.

SCHURTER 0034.1526: Established alternative from a recognized fuse manufacturer. Certifications include cURus, PSE/JET, and VDE. Breaking capacity matches the main part at 100 A. Operating temperature range specified as -55°C to 125°C.

Eaton S500 Series (BK/S500-10-R and S500-10-R): Both variants from Eaton's S500 series meet electrical and dimensional requirements with 100 A breaking capacity. Certifications include BSI, CSA, cURus, SEMKO, and VDE. Operating temperature range not specified in available data. The S500-10-R is designated as manufacturer-recommended.

OptiFuse FSD-10A: Parametric equivalent with identical current, voltage, and package specifications. Breaking capacity is 35 A, which is lower than the main part and other substitutes. Certifications include cURus and IEC 60127. Suitable for applications where the lower breaking capacity is acceptable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 0217010.MXBP be used as a direct replacement for 0217010.MXP?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Littelfuse with identical electrical ratings (10 A, 250 V AC), fast-blow response, 5mm x 20mm package dimensions, and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). Both are ROHS3 compliant and active products.

Q: What is the key difference between the Eaton S500-10-R and BK/S500-10-R?

A: Both are Eaton S500 series fuses with identical electrical specifications and 100 A breaking capacity. The primary difference is MSL rating: BK/S500-10-R is rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), while S500-10-R is rated Not Applicable. Both meet the same certifications and dimensional requirements.

Q: Why does OptiFuse FSD-10A have a lower breaking capacity (35 A vs. 100 A)?

A: The FSD-10A is a parametric equivalent in terms of current rating, voltage, response time, and package dimensions. However, its breaking capacity specification is lower. This part is suitable for applications where the circuit's fault current does not exceed 35 A. For circuits with higher potential fault currents, parts with 100 A breaking capacity are recommended.

Q: Are all substitute parts compatible with the same fuse holder as the 0217010.MXP?

A: Yes. All substitute parts share the identical 5mm x 20mm cartridge form factor and require a holder for mounting. They are mechanically interchangeable in any standard 5x20mm fuse holder.

Q: Which substitute part has the broadest certification coverage?

A: The Eaton S500 series (both BK/S500-10-R and S500-10-R) carries the most comprehensive certification set: BSI, CSA, cURus, SEMKO, and VDE. This makes them suitable for applications requiring multiple regional compliance standards.

Q: Can FSD-10A be used in high-fault-current applications?

A: No. The FSD-10A has a breaking capacity of 35 A. For applications where fault currents may exceed 35 A, use substitute parts with 100 A breaking capacity: 0217010.MXBP, 0034.1526, BK/S500-10-R, or S500-10-R.
