Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 0876002.MXEP and 0874002.MXEP are Active status products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected designation. The 0876002.MXEP carries dual certification (cULus and VDE), while the 0874002.MXEP carries cULus certification. Selection between these parts should be based on specific certification requirements for the application. The 0874002.MXEP provides higher breaking capacity (50A vs 35A) and lower melting I²t (1.812 vs 2.51), which may be advantageous in applications requiring faster response or higher fault current handling. Both parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable within the specified parameter constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0874002.MXEP directly replace the 0876002.MXEP in existing designs?

A: Yes, both parts share identical current rating (2A), voltage rating (250VAC), fuse type (ceramic cartridge), response time (fast blow), mounting type (through hole), package configuration (axial), physical dimensions (0.142" Dia x 0.394" L), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). Mechanical and electrical compatibility is maintained.

Q: What are the differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are breaking capacity (0874002.MXEP: 50A vs 0876002.MXEP: 35A), melting I²t (0874002.MXEP: 1.812 vs 0876002.MXEP: 2.51), DC cold resistance (0874002.MXEP: 0.04 Ohms vs 0876002.MXEP: 0.0329 Ohms), and approval certifications (0876002.MXEP includes VDE certification in addition to cULus).

Q: Are there any compliance or certification considerations?

A: The 0876002.MXEP holds both cULus and VDE certifications, while the 0874002.MXEP holds cULus certification. Applications requiring VDE compliance should specify the 0876002.MXEP. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: Do these parts have different inventory availability?

A: Inventory levels differ: 0876002.MXEP has 1246 pcs in stock, while 0874002.MXEP has 2047 pcs in stock. Both are available in bulk packaging.
