Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 0MIN003.VP are determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitution logic is based on the following criteria:

Critical Parameters for Substitution:

• Current Rating: 3 A (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating - AC: 32 V (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating - DC: 32 V (exact match required)
• Fuse Type: Automotive (exact match required)
• Response Time: Fast Blow (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Blade, Miniature (exact match required)
• Size / Dimension: 0.429" L x 0.150" W x 0.346" H (exact match required)
• Series: MINI® (exact match required)

All substitute parts listed below meet these criteria and are manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. Variations in part number suffixes (such as .VPGLO, .HXGLO, and .V) indicate differences in packaging configuration or certification scope, not in core electrical or mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed are direct parametric equivalents to the 0MIN003.VP and are suitable for interchangeable use in automotive miniature blade fuse applications requiring 3 A protection at 32 V AC/DC with fast-blow response.

Certification Scope: The 0MIN003.VP carries SAE approval. The substitute parts 0MIN003.HXGLO, 0MIN003.V, and 0MIN003.VPGLO carry both SAE and UL approvals, providing expanded certification coverage. Selection between these parts should be based on specific application certification requirements and inventory availability.

Product Status: All parts maintain Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support.

Compliance: All parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards for automotive applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 0MIN003.HXGLO, 0MIN003.V, and 0MIN003.VPGLO be used interchangeably with 0MIN003.VP?

A: Yes. All parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical ratings (3 A, 32 V AC/DC), response time (Fast Blow), and mechanical dimensions (0.429" L x 0.150" W x 0.346" H). They are all Littelfuse MINI® series automotive miniature blade fuses requiring the same holder type.

Q: What is the difference between these part numbers?

A: The differences are in packaging configuration and certification scope. The 0MIN003.VP carries SAE approval, while 0MIN003.HXGLO, 0MIN003.V, and 0MIN003.VPGLO carry both SAE and UL approvals. The suffix variations (.VP, .HXGLO, .V, .VPGLO) indicate different packaging or certification designations but do not affect core fuse performance.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same quantities?

A: Inventory levels vary. Current stock includes: 0MIN003.VP (898 Pcs), 0MIN003.HXGLO (1054 Pcs), 0MIN003.V (1147 Pcs), and 0MIN003.VPGLO (1294 Pcs). Availability should be confirmed at the time of procurement.

Q: Do these fuses require a specific holder type?

A: Yes. All parts in this group are miniature blade fuses that require a miniature blade fuse holder. The physical dimensions (0.429" L x 0.150" W x 0.346" H) are identical across all substitute parts, ensuring compatibility with the same holder.

Q: Are these parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. All parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental regulations for automotive applications.
