Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 2563100 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 50 A (must match exactly)
• Voltage Rating: 600V (must match exactly)
• Number of Circuits: 2 (must match exactly)
• Fuse Type: Cartridge (must match exactly)
• Mounting Type: DIN Rail (must match exactly)

The substitute part 2560013 meets all critical electrical and mechanical requirements. However, the fuse size differs: the 2560013 accommodates 14mm x 51mm cartridges, whereas the 2563100 uses 10mm x 38mm cartridges. This difference reflects a design evolution within the product line and requires verification of fuse availability and mechanical fit within the installation environment.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 2560013 is the designated substitute for the obsolete 2563100. Both components are manufactured by American Electrical Inc. and maintain identical electrical specifications: 50 A current rating, 600V voltage rating, and 2-circuit configuration. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and carry the same HTSUS classification (8538.90.8180), confirming regulatory alignment.

The 2560013 holds active product status, ensuring continued availability and support. The primary distinction is the fuse cartridge size: the 2560013 uses the larger 14mm x 51mm standard, which represents the current industry standard for this amperage and voltage class. The 2563100's 10mm x 38mm size is associated with the obsolete ASK 6 series.

Selection of the 2560013 as a replacement requires confirmation that 14mm x 51mm cartridge fuses are available for the intended application and that mechanical installation space accommodates the larger form factor.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2560013 directly replace the 2563100 in existing installations?

A: Both components share identical electrical ratings (50 A, 600V, 2-circuit). However, the fuse cartridge size differs: 2560013 uses 14mm x 51mm cartridges while 2563100 uses 10mm x 38mm cartridges. Physical installation compatibility depends on available space and fuse cartridge sourcing.

Q: What is the difference between a fuse block and a fuse holder?

A: The 2563100 is classified as a fuse block, while the 2560013 is classified as a fuse holder. Both are cartridge fuseholder devices for DIN rail mounting. The terminology reflects design variations within the product line.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 2563100 and 2560013 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: Why is the 2563100 obsolete?

A: The 2563100 belongs to the ASK 6 series, which has been superseded by the EFD14 series (represented by the 2560013). The transition reflects industry standardization toward the 14mm x 51mm cartridge format.

Q: What certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both components carry ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and EAR99 ECCN classification. Both are classified under HTSUS code 8538.90.8180.
