• Voltage Rating (AC): 250 V (exact match)
• Response Time: Fast Blow (exact match)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match)
• Fuse Type: Board Mount, Axial configuration (exact match)
• Package / Case: Axial (exact match)
• Breaking Capacity @ Rated Voltage: 50 A (exact match)
• Size / Dimension: 0.155" Dia x 0.280" L (exact match)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match)
• DC Cold Resistance: 0.0635 Ohms (exact match)

The 026301.5MXL maintains all critical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring functional equivalence in board mount fuse applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 026301.5MXL is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete 026301.5M. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility. The primary distinction is product status and regulatory compliance:

The 026301.5M is obsolete and carries RoHS non-compliant status. The 026301.5MXL is active in production and meets ROHS3 compliance requirements, along with REACH Unaffected status. For new designs or production continuity, the 026301.5MXL is the specified replacement, offering equivalent functionality with current regulatory alignment and ongoing manufacturer support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 026301.5MXL be used as a direct replacement for the 026301.5M in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical current rating (1.5 A), voltage rating (250 V AC), response time (Fast Blow), mounting type (Through Hole), package configuration (Axial), and physical dimensions (0.155" Dia x 0.280" L). Electrical performance and board-level compatibility are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between the 026301.5M and 026301.5MXL?

A: The primary differences are product status and compliance. The 026301.5M is obsolete with RoHS non-compliant status. The 026301.5MXL is an active production part with ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected designation. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 026301.5M is supplied in standard packaging, while the 026301.5MXL is supplied in bulk packaging. Both maintain the same axial fuse configuration and physical dimensions suitable for through-hole PCB mounting.

Q: What approval certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both the 026301.5M and 026301.5MXL carry CSA, PSE, and UR approvals, meeting international safety standards for board mount fuse applications.

Q: Is the 026301.5MXL suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. The 026301.5MXL is ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for applications with RoHS regulatory requirements. The obsolete 026301.5M does not meet RoHS compliance.
