Littelfuse 03560008Z Fuse Block Cartridge - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Littelfuse 03560008Z is an 8-circuit cartridge fuse block designed for chassis mount applications with a 600V rating and 15A current capacity. This component is classified as Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory constraints, application-specific voltage or current requirements, or end-of-life considerations for legacy designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Littelfuse 03560008Z is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Number of Circuits: Must be 8 circuits
• Fuse Type: Must be Cartridge type
• Fuseholder Type: Must be Block type
• Mounting Type: Must be Chassis Mount
• Termination Style: Must be Screw Terminal

The identified substitute part, Eaton S-8301-8, shares the core functional architecture (8-circuit cartridge fuse block with screw terminal termination and chassis mount configuration). However, electrical ratings differ: the Eaton substitute operates at 300V with 30A capacity, compared to the Littelfuse original at 600V with 15A capacity. This substitution is valid only for applications where the lower voltage and higher current ratings are compatible with the circuit design requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Littelfuse 03560008Z is the primary selection for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance and 600V system voltage with 15A per-circuit protection. This part maintains active product status with confirmed inventory availability.

Eaton S-8301-8 serves as a functional substitute only for applications operating at 300V or lower system voltage with 30A per-circuit requirements. This substitute is not suitable for designs requiring RoHS3 compliance, as it is classified as RoHS non-compliant. Selection of the Eaton substitute requires explicit verification that the application voltage and current specifications align with the 300V/30A ratings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Eaton S-8301-8 be used as a direct replacement for the Littelfuse 03560008Z?

A: Direct replacement is not applicable. While both parts share the same 8-circuit cartridge block architecture with screw terminal termination and chassis mount configuration, the electrical ratings differ significantly. The Eaton part operates at 300V/30A versus the Littelfuse part at 600V/15A. Substitution is valid only when the application circuit design accommodates the lower voltage and higher current specifications.

Q: What are the key compatibility factors for substitution?

A: The critical compatibility factors are: 8-circuit configuration, cartridge fuse type, block fuseholder type, chassis mount orientation, and screw terminal termination. Voltage and current ratings must be evaluated against specific application requirements and are not interchangeable between these two parts.

Q: Does the Eaton S-8301-8 meet RoHS compliance requirements?

A: No. The Eaton S-8301-8 is classified as RoHS non-compliant. If RoHS3 compliance is a design requirement, the Littelfuse 03560008Z must be used.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: Both the Littelfuse 03560008Z and Eaton S-8301-8 are supplied in Bulk packaging.
