Littelfuse 0362006.H Glass Cartridge Fuse - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Littelfuse 0362006.H is a 6 A, 125 V AC/DC fast-blow glass cartridge fuse in the 8AG form factor (1/4" x 1"). This fuse is designed for circuits requiring holder-mounted protection and is currently in active production status. Equivalent and substitute parts may be required due to inventory availability, regional sourcing constraints, or application-specific voltage rating requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Littelfuse 0362006.H is permissible with the Eaton BK/AGX-6 based on the following criteria:

Matching Parameters (Required for Substitution):

• Current Rating: 6 A (identical)
• Fuse Type: Cartridge, Glass (identical)
• Response Time: Fast Blow (identical)
• Package / Case: 8AG form factor (identical mechanical fit)
• Mounting Type: Requires Holder (identical)
• Physical Dimensions: Compatible within tolerance (0.250" Dia; length variance 1.000" to 1.042" acceptable for holder-mounted applications)

Differing Parameters (Application-Dependent):

• Voltage Rating (AC): 125 V (Littelfuse) vs. 250 V (Eaton) — The Eaton substitute operates at a higher voltage rating and is suitable for 125 V applications as a higher-rated alternative
• Breaking Capacity: Not specified (Littelfuse) vs. 200 A (Eaton) — Eaton provides documented breaking capacity
• Manufacturer Certifications: UL (Littelfuse) vs. cULus (Eaton) — Both certifications are recognized; cULus provides dual certification coverage

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Littelfuse 0362006.H and Eaton BK/AGX-6 are active production components with recognized safety certifications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

Littelfuse 0362006.H: Select when the application circuit is rated for 125 V AC operation and UL certification is the specified requirement. This part is optimized for standard 125 V AC circuits.

Eaton BK/AGX-6: Select when the application circuit can accommodate a higher voltage rating (250 V AC) or when cULus dual certification is required. The documented 200 A breaking capacity provides additional specification clarity. The minor dimensional variance (0.042" additional length) is compatible with standard 8AG fuse holders.

Both parts are RoHS non-compliant and carry identical moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1 - Unlimited), indicating equivalent environmental handling requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Eaton BK/AGX-6 (250 V) be used in place of the Littelfuse 0362006.H (125 V)?

A: Yes. The Eaton BK/AGX-6 is rated for 250 V AC and is therefore suitable for 125 V AC applications. A higher voltage-rated fuse can be substituted in a lower voltage circuit without performance degradation. Both parts share identical current ratings (6 A), response time (Fast Blow), and form factor (8AG).

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility concerns between these two parts?

A: No. Both fuses use the 8AG form factor and require a holder for mounting. The dimensional difference (1.000" vs. 1.042" length) is within acceptable tolerance for standard 8AG fuse holders and does not affect mechanical fit or electrical performance.

Q: What is the significance of the breaking capacity specification?

A: Breaking capacity indicates the maximum fault current the fuse can safely interrupt. The Eaton BK/AGX-6 specifies 200 A breaking capacity at rated voltage. The Littelfuse 0362006.H does not provide this specification in the available data. For applications with high fault current potential, the documented breaking capacity of the Eaton part may be preferred.

Q: Do certification differences affect substitution?

A: Both parts carry recognized safety certifications (UL for Littelfuse; cULus for Eaton). cULus provides dual certification coverage for both US and Canadian markets. If the application specifies UL certification exclusively, the Littelfuse part is the direct match. If cULus certification is acceptable or required, the Eaton part is suitable.

Q: Are there inventory or sourcing advantages to either part?

A: Inventory levels are provided for reference only and may vary by distributor and time. The Littelfuse 0362006.H shows 979 pieces in stock, while the Eaton BK/AGX-6 shows 1295 pieces in stock at the time of this documentation. Actual availability should be verified with your component supplier.
