Littelfuse 0362015.M Glass Cartridge Fuse - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Littelfuse 0362015.M is a 15 A, 32 V AC/DC fast-blow glass cartridge fuse in the 8AG form factor (1/4" x 1"). This component is classified as obsolete and requires a fuse holder for installation. Due to its discontinued status, identifying functionally equivalent substitute parts is necessary for system maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where this specification is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Littelfuse 0362015.M are identified based on the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 15 A (exact match required)
• Fuse Type: Cartridge, Glass (form factor compatibility)
• Package / Case: 8AG, 1/4" x 1" (mechanical and holder compatibility)
• Response Time: Fast Blow (electrical characteristic)
• Mounting Type: Requires Holder (installation method)

The Eaton BK/AGX-15 meets all mechanical and electrical compatibility criteria. While the substitute part has a higher voltage rating (250 V AC vs. 32 V AC), this represents an upgrade in capability and does not compromise functionality in the original 32 V application. The substitute maintains identical current rating, fuse type, package dimensions, and response characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Eaton BK/AGX-15 is the direct substitute for the obsolete Littelfuse 0362015.M. Selection is based on the following factors:

• Product Status: The Littelfuse part is obsolete; the Eaton substitute is active and currently manufactured, ensuring long-term availability.
• Electrical Compatibility: Both parts share identical current ratings (15 A) and response characteristics (fast blow). The Eaton part's higher voltage rating (250 V) is compatible with 32 V applications and provides enhanced safety margin.
• Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts use the 8AG form factor with identical dimensions (1/4" x 1"), ensuring direct replacement in existing fuse holders without modification.
• Certifications: The Eaton substitute carries cURus approval, providing recognized safety certification for the replacement component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Eaton BK/AGX-15 be used as a direct replacement for the Littelfuse 0362015.M?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical current ratings (15 A), fuse type (cartridge, glass), package dimensions (8AG, 1/4" x 1"), and response time (fast blow). The substitute is mechanically and electrically compatible for direct installation in existing 8AG fuse holders.

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

A: Higher voltage ratings indicate greater electrical capability and safety margin. A 250 V-rated fuse operates safely in 32 V applications. The substitute does not compromise performance in the original circuit design.

Q: Are there any physical dimension differences between these parts?

A: The Littelfuse part measures 0.250" Dia x 1.000" L (6.35mm x 25.40mm). The Eaton substitute measures 0.250" Dia x 1.042" L (6.35mm x 26.47mm). The 0.042" length difference is negligible and does not affect holder compatibility.

Q: What certifications does the substitute part carry?

A: The Eaton BK/AGX-15 carries cURus approval. The original Littelfuse part does not specify approval agencies in the provided data.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: No. Both the Littelfuse 0362015.M and Eaton BK/AGX-15 are RoHS non-compliant. If RoHS compliance is required for your application, alternative parts must be evaluated.
