Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 0SLC008.T is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 8 A (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating - AC: 600 VAC (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating - DC: 170 VDC (exact match required)
• Breaking Capacity: 100 kA AC, 10 kA DC (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Cartridge, Non-Standard (mechanical compatibility required)
• Mounting Type: Requires Holder (installation compatibility required)
• Approval Agency: CE, CSA, UL certifications (minimum compliance required)

The Eaton - Bussmann SC-8 meets all electrical and mechanical substitution criteria, with dimensional tolerance within acceptable limits for holder-based installations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Eaton - Bussmann SC-8 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the Littelfuse 0SLC008.T for applications requiring 8 A protection at 600 VAC / 170 VDC. Both components carry CE, CSA, and UL certifications, meeting regulatory compliance requirements for industrial and electrical applications. Dimensional variance (0.004" diameter, 0.001" length) is within acceptable mechanical tolerance for standard cartridge fuse holders. The SC-8 is currently active in production with confirmed inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Eaton - Bussmann SC-8 be used as a direct replacement for the Littelfuse 0SLC008.T?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical ratings (8 A, 600 VAC, 170 VDC, 100 kA AC / 10 kA DC breaking capacity) and are mechanically compatible with standard cartridge fuse holders. Dimensional differences are within acceptable tolerance.

Q: What is the difference between medium-blow and slow-blow response times?

A: Response time characterizes the fuse's thermal response to overcurrent conditions. Medium-blow fuses (0SLC008.T) trip faster than slow-blow fuses (SC-8) under transient overcurrent. Selection depends on circuit load characteristics and application requirements.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Littelfuse 0SLC008.T is ROHS3 Compliant, and the Eaton - Bussmann SC-8 is RoHS Compliant. Both meet environmental compliance standards.

Q: What certifications are required for my application?

A: Both components carry CE, CSA, and UL certifications. The 0SLC008.T additionally carries QPL certification. Verify that required certifications match your application's regulatory requirements.

Q: Are there dimensional constraints for holder compatibility?

A: Both fuses are cartridge type, non-standard package with dimensions within 0.004" diameter and 0.001" length variance. Standard cartridge fuse holders accommodate this tolerance range. Verify holder specifications for your specific installation.
