Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 0217.032MXP is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 32 mA (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)
• Mechanical Form Factor: 5mm x 20mm (exact match required)
• Breaking Capacity: 35A (exact match required)

All identified substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Variations in secondary parameters such as DC cold resistance, melting I²t values, and approval agency certifications are noted but do not preclude substitution when primary parameters align.

• DC cold resistance specifications where applicable

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute 0217.032MXP with 0217.032HXP? A: Yes. Both are Littelfuse 217 series glass cartridge fuses with identical electrical ratings (32 mA, 250 V AC), response time (fast blow), mechanical dimensions (5mm x 20mm), and breaking capacity (35A). Both are ROHS3 compliant and active in production.

Q: What is the difference between Littelfuse and SCHURTER equivalents? A: The SCHURTER 0034.1527 matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. It carries different regulatory approvals (CCC, cURus, VDE) and has a slightly higher melting I²t value (8.2E-05 vs. 6E-05). Both are suitable for 32 mA, 250 V AC/DC applications in the 5mm x 20mm form factor.

Q: Are Eaton BK/S500-32-R and BK1/S500-32-R interchangeable? A: Yes. Both Eaton parts share identical electrical ratings, response characteristics, and mechanical dimensions. BK1/S500-32-R is designated as manufacturer recommended. Both have lower DC cold resistance (40 Ohms) compared to Littelfuse parts (262.2 Ohms) but meet the same 32 mA, 250 V AC/DC specification.

Q: Do all substitute parts require the same holder? A: Yes. All parts are 5mm x 20mm cartridge fuses requiring a compatible holder. Mechanical compatibility is ensured across all listed substitutes.

Q: Which part has the best availability? A: SCHURTER 0034.1527 has the highest inventory at 7,301 units in stock, followed by Littelfuse 0217.032HXP at 1,127 units and Littelfuse 0217.032MXP at 1,190 units.

Q: Are there regulatory compliance differences I should consider? A: Littelfuse 0217.032MXP and 0217.032HXP carry CCC, CE, CSA, K-MARK, SEMKO, UL, and VDE approvals. SCHURTER 0034.1527 carries CCC, cURus, and VDE approvals. Eaton parts do not list approval agencies. Select based on your application's regulatory requirements.
