Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 0680L5000-25 is determined by the following critical parameters: current rating (5 A), voltage ratings (125 V AC and 125 V DC), response time (Slow Blow), package type (2-SMD, Square End Block), mounting type (Surface Mount), physical dimensions (0.240" L x 0.100" W x 0.100" H), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C).

The substitute parts 0680L5000-01, 0680L5000-05, and 0680H5000-05 share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for current, voltage, response time, package, mounting, dimensions, and temperature range. Differences exist in packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape & Digi-Reel), breaking capacity, melting I²t, DC cold resistance, and approval agency certifications. These differences do not affect functional interchangeability in applications where the core electrical parameters are the design requirement.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The 0680L5000-01 and 0680L5000-05 are direct functional equivalents to the 0680L5000-25, sharing identical electrical characteristics, breaking capacity, melting I²t, and DC cold resistance. Both carry AEC-Q200, CE, and cURus certifications. Selection between these three parts is determined by packaging format availability: 0680L5000-25 and 0680L5000-01 are supplied in Tape & Reel format, while 0680L5000-05 is supplied in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel format.

The 0680H5000-05 is a parametric equivalent with enhanced breaking capacity (100A AC, 500A DC versus 50A AC, 100A DC) and lower melting I²t (24 versus 37). This part carries cURus certification only, without AEC-Q200 or CE certifications. The 0680H5000-05 is suitable for applications requiring higher breaking capacity but should be selected only when certification requirements align with cURus approval.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 0680L5000-01 replace 0680L5000-25 in production? A: Yes. Both parts are identical in current rating, voltage ratings, response time, package type, dimensions, and operating temperature. The difference is packaging format (both Tape & Reel). Functional interchangeability is confirmed.

Q: What is the difference between 0680L5000-05 and 0680L5000-25? A: The electrical and mechanical specifications are identical. The primary difference is packaging: 0680L5000-25 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while 0680L5000-05 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. Selection depends on assembly equipment and procurement requirements.

Q: When should 0680H5000-05 be used instead of 0680L5000-25? A: The 0680H5000-05 has higher breaking capacity (100A AC, 500A DC) and lower melting I²t (24). Use this part only when application requirements specify higher breaking capacity. Note that 0680H5000-05 carries cURus certification only, without AEC-Q200 or CE certifications.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All parts listed—0680L5000-25, 0680L5000-01, 0680L5000-05, and 0680H5000-05—are ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited).
