Littelfuse 0285015.HXP Ceramic Fuse 15A 250VAC 5x20mm - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Littelfuse 0285015.HXP is an active ceramic cartridge fuse rated for 15 amperes at 250 volts AC/DC with slow-blow response characteristics. This fuse is designed for applications requiring overcurrent protection in a 5mm x 20mm form factor and operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. Finding equivalent substitute parts may be necessary due to inventory availability, supply chain considerations, or specific application requirements while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 0285015.HXP are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

• Current Rating: 15 A (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 250 V AC (exact match required)
• Fuse Type: Cartridge, Ceramic (exact match required)
• Response Time: Slow Blow (exact match required)
• Physical Package: 5mm x 20mm (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Requires Holder (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (minimum requirement)

All substitute parts listed meet these core electrical and mechanical parameters, ensuring direct compatibility in applications designed for the 0285015.HXP.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four parts listed are active products with ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment for current applications. The Littelfuse 0215015.MXP offers the closest functional match to the 0285015.HXP, both from the same manufacturer with identical electrical ratings and breaking capacity. The OptiFuse TCC-15A and TCD-15A provide alternative sources with higher breaking capacities (750 A and 1.5 kA respectively), which may be advantageous in applications requiring enhanced fault protection margins. Selection should be based on supply availability, manufacturer preference, and specific application breaking capacity requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0215015.MXP directly replace the 0285015.HXP?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical current rating (15 A), voltage rating (250 V AC), fuse type (ceramic cartridge), response time (slow blow), physical dimensions (5mm x 20mm), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). Both are Littelfuse products with ROHS3 compliance and active product status.

Q: What is the difference between the Littelfuse and OptiFuse substitutes?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer and breaking capacity. Littelfuse 0215015.MXP maintains 500 A breaking capacity matching the original. OptiFuse TCC-15A provides 750 A breaking capacity, and OptiFuse TCD-15A provides 1.5 kA breaking capacity. All maintain identical electrical ratings and physical form factor.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting these parts?

A: No compatibility concerns exist for the listed substitutes. All parts require the same holder type, occupy identical physical space (5mm x 20mm), and operate within the same temperature range. Direct mechanical and electrical interchangeability is confirmed.

Q: Which substitute should I select for maximum protection?

A: Selection depends on application requirements. The OptiFuse TCD-15A offers the highest breaking capacity (1.5 kA), suitable for applications with higher fault current potential. The Littelfuse 0215015.MXP maintains the original breaking capacity (500 A) for direct functional equivalence.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitutes are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
