Littelfuse 0362001.V Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Littelfuse 0362001.V is a 1 A, 32 V AC/DC fast-blow glass cartridge fuse in 8AG form factor (1/4" x 1"). This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitutes essential for ongoing maintenance and repair applications. The part requires a dedicated fuse holder for installation and is commonly used in low-voltage DC and AC circuits requiring fast-response overcurrent protection.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Littelfuse 0362001.V is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: Must be 1 A
• Fuse Type: Must be Cartridge, Glass
• Package / Case: Must be 8AG, 1/4" x 1" form factor
• Response Time: Must be Fast Blow
• Mounting Type: Must require holder (same mechanical interface)

The substitute part BK/AGX-1 (Eaton - Electronics Division) meets all mechanical and electrical compatibility requirements. While the substitute offers higher voltage ratings (250 V AC/DC versus 32 V AC/DC), this represents an upgrade in voltage capability and does not compromise functionality in the original 32 V circuit application. The identical current rating, fuse type, package, and response time ensure direct functional equivalence.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Eaton BK/AGX-1 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete Littelfuse 0362001.V based on the following criteria:

• Mechanical Compatibility: Identical 8AG form factor and holder interface ensure direct physical replacement without modification to existing fuse holders or mounting hardware.
• Electrical Compatibility: Matching 1 A current rating and fast-blow response time preserve the original overcurrent protection characteristics. The elevated voltage rating (250 V versus 32 V) provides enhanced voltage margin and does not degrade performance in 32 V applications.
• Product Status: The substitute is active and in production, ensuring long-term availability and supply continuity.
• Certification: The Eaton part carries cULus approval, providing recognized safety certification for industrial and commercial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Eaton BK/AGX-1 be used directly in place of the Littelfuse 0362001.V without any modifications?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical current ratings (1 A), fuse type (cartridge glass), package designation (8AG), and response time (fast blow). The mechanical interface and electrical function are fully compatible. No modifications to the fuse holder or circuit are required.

Q: Why does the substitute have a higher voltage rating (250 V versus 32 V)?

A: Higher voltage ratings indicate enhanced dielectric strength and arc-quenching capability. In a 32 V circuit, the 250 V-rated substitute operates well within its design envelope and provides additional safety margin. This is a standard engineering practice and does not affect performance.

Q: Are there any dimensional differences between the two parts?

A: The Littelfuse part measures 0.250" Dia x 1.000" L, while the Eaton part measures 0.250" Dia x 1.042" L. The 0.042" length difference is negligible and does not affect holder compatibility or installation.

Q: What is the significance of the cULus certification on the Eaton part?

A: cULus certification indicates that the part meets safety standards established by UL (Underwriters Laboratories) and CSA (Canadian Standards Association). This certification is recognized for industrial, commercial, and consumer applications and provides documented compliance with applicable safety requirements.

Q: Is the Eaton BK/AGX-1 suitable for both AC and DC applications?

A: Yes. The part is rated for both 250 V AC and 250 V DC operation, making it suitable for AC, DC, or mixed-mode circuits operating at or below 32 V.
