Littelfuse 0CBO015.V Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Littelfuse 0CBO015.V is a 15A 32 VDC cartridge fuse with bolt mount configuration, part of the POWR-GARD® CBO series. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute parts essential for system maintenance and component replacement in lift truck applications. The fast-blow response characteristic and cylindrical blade terminal design define its operational role in DC circuit protection.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Littelfuse 0CBO015.V is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 15A (must match exactly)
• Fuse Type: Cartridge with bolt mount configuration
• Package / Case: Cylindrical, Blade Terminal (Bolt)
• Mounting Type: Bolt Mount

The Eaton - Bussmann Electrical Division CGL-15 qualifies as a substitute based on matching current rating (15A), fuse type (cartridge), mounting configuration (bolt mount), and physical package format (cylindrical blade terminal). The CGL-15 operates at higher voltage ratings (600 VAC / 250 VDC) compared to the original 32 VDC specification, which provides enhanced voltage margin and compatibility in DC applications up to 250 VDC. The substitute maintains the same physical footprint compatibility with bolt mount terminals, enabling direct mechanical installation in existing fixtures.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Eaton - Bussmann Electrical Division CGL-15 is the designated substitute for the obsolete Littelfuse 0CBO015.V based on the following criteria:

• Current Rating Match: Both components are rated for 15A, ensuring equivalent circuit protection performance.
• Mounting Compatibility: Bolt mount configuration and cylindrical blade terminal design enable direct mechanical replacement in existing installations.
• Voltage Margin: The CGL-15 operates at 250 VDC, providing a 7.8x voltage safety margin above the original 32 VDC specification, ensuring reliable operation in DC applications.
• Product Status: The CGL-15 is active and in production, providing long-term availability and supply chain continuity.
• Regulatory Compliance: The CGL-15 holds CE and CSA certifications and is RoHS compliant, meeting modern regulatory requirements.
• Physical Compatibility: Dimensional similarity (0.813" Dia x 2.000" L versus 0.812" Dia x 1.625" L) permits installation in standard bolt mount fixtures, with the slightly longer length accommodating typical mounting tolerances.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Eaton CGL-15 be used as a direct replacement for the Littelfuse 0CBO015.V?

A: Yes. Both components share identical current ratings (15A), fuse type (cartridge), and mounting configuration (bolt mount). The CGL-15 operates at higher voltage ratings, providing enhanced safety margin in DC applications. Physical dimensions are compatible with standard bolt mount fixtures.

Q: What is the significance of the voltage rating difference between 32 VDC and 250 VDC?

A: The CGL-15 is rated for 250 VDC, which exceeds the original 32 VDC specification. This higher rating ensures the substitute functions reliably in DC circuits operating at or below 250 VDC. The component will not be damaged by lower voltage operation.

Q: Are there dimensional concerns with the CGL-15 substitution?

A: The CGL-15 is 0.375" longer (2.000" L versus 1.625" L) and has a diameter increase of 0.001" (0.813" versus 0.812"). These minor differences are within standard mechanical tolerances for bolt mount fixtures and do not prevent installation.

Q: Does the CGL-15 have the same response time as the original part?

A: The response time specification for the CGL-15 is not provided in the available data. Both components are cartridge fuses with bolt mount configuration, which typically share similar response characteristics for equivalent current ratings.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance for this substitution?

A: The CGL-15 is RoHS compliant, meeting environmental and regulatory standards for electronic components. The original 0CBO015.V is RoHS non-compliant. Selection of the RoHS-compliant substitute aligns with modern manufacturing and environmental requirements.

Q: Is the CGL-15 available in the same packaging as the original part?

A: The CGL-15 is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the original part packaging specification is not detailed. Both components use identical cylindrical blade terminal (bolt) case format, ensuring mechanical compatibility regardless of packaging configuration.
