Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 0891025.U are identified based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the LP MINI® 891 series. All substitute parts maintain identical specifications across the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 25 A
• Voltage Rating (DC): 58 V
• Response Time: Fast Blow
• Package/Case: Blade, Miniature (Low Profile)
• Physical Dimensions: 10.90mm × 3.80mm × 8.40mm
• Melting I²t: 613
• DC Cold Resistance: 0.00256 Ohms
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The substitute parts 0891025.H and 0891025.NXS are direct parametric equivalents. The primary distinction between 0891025.U and 0891025.H is the Breaking Capacity rating (1kA versus 10kA), which does not affect substitutability for standard automotive circuit protection applications where both ratings exceed circuit requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—0891025.U, 0891025.H, and 0891025.NXS—are active production components with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these equivalents should be based on:

1. Inventory availability: 0891025.NXS offers the highest stock level at 5200 units, followed by 0891025.U at 1167 units and 0891025.H at 1027 units.

2. Breaking Capacity requirements: 0891025.H provides 10kA breaking capacity compared to 1kA for 0891025.U and 0891025.NXS. Selection should align with circuit fault current levels.

3. Supply chain continuity: Multiple equivalent parts within the same series ensure procurement flexibility and reduce single-source dependency.

All parts maintain identical electrical performance characteristics, thermal ratings, and mechanical compatibility with standard LP MINI® 891 fuse holders.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 0891025.H be used as a direct replacement for 0891025.U?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical current rating (25A), voltage rating (58V DC), response time (Fast Blow), physical dimensions, and thermal characteristics. The higher breaking capacity of 0891025.H (10kA versus 1kA) does not prevent substitution and may provide additional margin in high fault-current applications.

Q: What is the significance of the Breaking Capacity difference between these parts?

A: Breaking Capacity defines the maximum fault current the fuse can safely interrupt without rupturing or creating a hazard. Both 1kA and 10kA ratings exceed typical automotive circuit fault currents. Selection depends on specific circuit fault current analysis.

Q: Are all three parts compatible with the same fuse holder?

A: Yes. All three parts use the Blade, Miniature (Low Profile) package with identical dimensions (10.90mm × 3.80mm × 8.40mm) and require the same holder type. Physical and electrical compatibility is guaranteed.

Q: Do these parts have different lead times or sourcing considerations?

A: All three parts are active production items from Littelfuse Inc. with current inventory. 0891025.NXS has the highest available stock (5200 units), which may provide sourcing advantages for high-volume applications.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. All three parts carry identical certifications: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, MSL 1 (Unlimited), and active product status. No compliance or regulatory differences exist between the parts.
