Littelfuse 0498060.MXT Automotive Fuse - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Littelfuse 0498060.MXT is a 60 A automotive fuse rated for 32 V DC operation, designed for bolt mount installation in automotive electrical systems. This MIDI® 498 series fuse features slow-blow response characteristics and is classified as an active product. Substitute parts become necessary when the primary part number is unavailable, when specific approval certifications are required for particular applications, or when inventory constraints necessitate alternative sourcing from the same manufacturer's compatible product line.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

All substitute parts listed are parametric equivalents manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. within the MIDI® 498 series. Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 60 A (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating - DC: 32 V (exact match required)
• Fuse Type: Automotive (exact match required)
• Response Time: Slow Blow (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Bolt Mount (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Auto Link (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 1.614" L x 0.472" W x 0.315" H / 41.00mm x 12.00mm x 8.00mm (exact match required)
• Breaking Capacity @ Rated Voltage: 1 kA (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)

The substitute parts 0498060.H, 0498060.M, and 0498060.TXN meet all critical electrical and mechanical parameters for direct substitution with the primary part number 0498060.MXT.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four part numbers are active products manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. and maintain ROHS3 compliance. The primary distinction among these equivalents is the approval agency certification: part number 0498060.M carries UL approval, while 0498060.MXT, 0498060.H, and 0498060.TXN do not list approval agency certification. Selection should be based on application-specific regulatory requirements. Where UL certification is mandated, 0498060.M is the appropriate choice. For applications without specific approval requirements, any of the four part numbers are electrically and mechanically equivalent. DC cold resistance values are nominally equivalent across all parts, with 0498060.M specified at 0.00087 Ohms compared to 0.000865 Ohms for the other three parts, representing negligible operational difference.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 0498060.H, 0498060.M, and 0498060.TXN be used interchangeably with 0498060.MXT?

A: Yes. All four part numbers are parametric equivalents with identical electrical ratings (60 A, 32 V DC), response characteristics (slow-blow), mounting configuration (bolt mount), and physical dimensions. They are direct substitutes within the MIDI® 498 series.

Q: What is the difference between these substitute parts?

A: The primary differences are: (1) 0498060.M carries UL approval certification, while the others do not; (2) DC cold resistance in 0498060.M is specified at 0.00087 Ohms versus 0.000865 Ohms in the other three parts; (3) melting I²t is not specified for 0498060.M. These differences do not affect functional equivalence for standard automotive fuse applications.

Q: Which part should I select if UL certification is required?

A: Part number 0498060.M is the only substitute listed with UL approval agency certification and is the appropriate selection for applications requiring UL compliance.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical across all substitute parts?

A: Yes. All four part numbers share identical dimensions of 1.614" L x 0.472" W x 0.315" H (41.00mm x 12.00mm x 8.00mm) and are compatible with the same bolt mount installation configuration.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these fuses?

A: All substitute parts operate across the temperature range of -40°C to 125°C, providing equivalent thermal performance across automotive environmental conditions.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All four part numbers are ROHS3 compliant and meet environmental regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing.
