Littelfuse 0362015.H Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Littelfuse 0362015.H is a 15 A, 32 V AC/DC fast-blow glass cartridge fuse in 8AG package format (1/4" x 1"). This component is designed for circuits requiring fast-acting overcurrent protection in low-voltage applications. The part is currently active in production with 696 units in stock. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to support procurement flexibility, inventory management, and application requirements where voltage or certification specifications differ from the original specification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Littelfuse 0362015.H is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: Must be 15 A (exact match required)
• Fuse Type: Must be Cartridge, Glass (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Must be 8AG, 1/4" x 1" (exact match required)
• Response Time: Must be Fast Blow (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Must be Requires Holder (exact match required)

The Eaton BK/AGX-15 meets all mandatory substitution criteria. The primary difference is the voltage rating: the Eaton part is rated for 250 V AC/DC compared to the Littelfuse part's 32 V AC/DC rating. This higher voltage rating does not prevent substitution in 32 V applications, as the part can safely operate at lower voltages within its rated capacity. Additional differences include RoHS compliance status and breaking capacity specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Littelfuse 0362015.H and Eaton BK/AGX-15 are active production parts suitable for 15 A fast-blow cartridge fuse applications in 8AG package format.

Littelfuse 0362015.H is the preferred choice for applications requiring RoHS3 compliance. This part meets current environmental and regulatory standards for restricted substance use.

Eaton BK/AGX-15 is suitable for applications where RoHS compliance is not a requirement. This part offers a higher voltage rating (250 V) and cURus certification, providing broader application flexibility in higher-voltage circuits while maintaining the same 15 A current rating and fast-blow response characteristics.

Selection between these parts should be based on specific compliance requirements and voltage rating needs of the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Eaton BK/AGX-15 be used in place of the Littelfuse 0362015.H?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical current rating (15 A), fuse type (Cartridge, Glass), response time (Fast Blow), and 8AG package format. The Eaton part's higher voltage rating (250 V) is compatible with 32 V applications. Physical dimensions are nearly identical with a 0.042" length difference, which does not affect holder compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the voltage rating difference?

A: The Littelfuse part is rated for 32 V AC/DC, while the Eaton part is rated for 250 V AC/DC. A fuse rated for higher voltage can safely operate at lower voltages. The Eaton part can therefore be used in 32 V circuits without performance degradation.

Q: Are there RoHS compliance differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The Littelfuse 0362015.H is RoHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental standards. The Eaton BK/AGX-15 is RoHS non-compliant. Selection should reflect the compliance requirements of the end application and regulatory jurisdiction.

Q: Do these parts require the same holder?

A: Both parts use the 8AG package format and require a compatible 8AG fuse holder. Physical dimensions are nearly identical, ensuring holder compatibility.

Q: What is the breaking capacity specification?

A: The Eaton BK/AGX-15 specifies a breaking capacity of 200 A at rated voltage. The Littelfuse part does not provide this specification in available documentation.
