Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 0MIN004.VP is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Current Rating: 4 A (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 32 V AC and 32 V DC (exact match required)
• Fuse Type: Automotive (exact match required)
• Response Time: Fast Blow (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Blade, Miniature (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Requires Holder (exact match required)
• Series: MINI® (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.429" L x 0.150" W x 0.346" H (exact match required)
• Color: Pink (exact match required)

The substitute part 0MIN004.V meets all electrical and mechanical parameters specified above, with the addition of UL approval certification beyond the SAE requirement of the main part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 0MIN004.VP and 0MIN004.V are Active product status components manufactured by Littelfuse with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The 0MIN004.V carries dual approval certifications (SAE and UL) compared to the single SAE approval of the 0MIN004.VP. Both components maintain full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for automotive applications. Selection between these parts should be based on certification requirements specific to the end application and component availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0MIN004.V directly replace the 0MIN004.VP in automotive circuits?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical with 4 A current rating, 32 V AC/DC voltage rating, fast-blow response, and miniature blade package configuration. The 0MIN004.V includes additional UL certification beyond the SAE approval of the 0MIN004.VP.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts measure 0.429" L x 0.150" W x 0.346" H (10.90mm x 3.80mm x 8.80mm) and are designed for the same miniature blade holder mounting systems.

Q: What is the significance of the color coding?

A: Both parts are pink, which is the standard color designation for 4 A automotive miniature blade fuses in the MINI® series.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the 0MIN004.VP and 0MIN004.V are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current automotive regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the difference between SAE and UL approval?

A: SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) and UL (Underwriters Laboratories) are independent approval agencies. The 0MIN004.V carries both certifications, while the 0MIN004.VP carries SAE approval only. Both certifications validate the fuse for automotive applications.
