Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

All substitute parts for the 0498060.MXT-CN maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across the following critical parameters:

Current Rating: 60 A
Voltage Rating: 32 V DC
Response Time: Slow Blow
Mounting Type: Bolt Mount
Package / Case: Auto Link
Physical Dimensions: 41.00 mm x 12.00 mm x 8.00 mm
Breaking Capacity: 1 kA
Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C
DC Cold Resistance: 0.000865 Ohms (with minor tolerance in 0498060.M at 0.00087 Ohms)

Substitution is valid when all electrical parameters and mechanical form factors remain constant. Packaging format differences (tape and reel versus bulk) do not affect functional equivalence.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed are manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. and maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the 0498060.MXT-CN. Selection among active alternatives should prioritize product status and compliance certifications:

0498060.M is the highest-volume alternative with 16,100 units in stock and carries UL approval agency certification. This part is suitable for applications requiring UL-certified components.

0498060.H and 0498060.MXT are available in bulk packaging with 1,988 and 1,288 units respectively. Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status.

0498060.MX1M6 and 0498060.TXN are available in smaller quantities (908 and 988 units respectively) and carry ROHS3 compliance with REACH unaffected status.

All active alternatives are suitable direct replacements for the discontinued 0498060.MXT-CN based on identical electrical ratings, mechanical form factors, and operating specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 0498060.M be used as a direct replacement for 0498060.MXT-CN?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical current rating (60 A), voltage rating (32 V DC), response time (slow blow), mounting type (bolt mount), package type (auto link), and physical dimensions. The DC cold resistance of 0498060.M (0.00087 Ohms) falls within acceptable tolerance of the original specification (0.000865 Ohms).

Q: What is the difference between tape-and-reel and bulk packaging?

A: Packaging format affects order quantity and handling but does not alter electrical or mechanical performance. The 0498060.MXT-CN is supplied in tape-and-reel format, while all active substitutes are available in bulk packaging. Component functionality remains identical.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: All active substitute parts (0498060.H, 0498060.M, 0498060.MX1M6, 0498060.MXT, 0498060.TXN) are ROHS3 compliant. The original discontinued part 0498060.MXT-CN does not specify ROHS status in the provided data.

Q: Which substitute has the highest inventory availability?

A: 0498060.M has the highest inventory with 16,100 units in stock, followed by 0498060.H with 1,988 units.

Q: Do all substitutes operate within the same temperature range?

A: Yes. All parts, including the main part and all substitutes, operate within -40°C to 125°C.

Q: What approval agencies certify these fuses?

A: 0498060.M carries UL certification. 0498060.MXT-CN and 0498060.MX1M6 carry UR certification. 0498060.H, 0498060.MXT, and 0498060.TXN do not specify approval agency in the provided data.
